Preventing a Flooded Basement in Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, Norcross & Throughout Central Georgia
There are few things more disastrous to a home owner than a flooded basement. In addition to the expensive repairs and cleanup required to get your basement back in working order, you have to worry about dangerous mold growth and replacing damaged or ruined possessions. Fortunately, this heartache and mess is avoidable, and Engineered Solutions of Georgia is proud to offer basement waterproofing services to customers in Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta & throughout central Georgia.
As anyone who lives in Georgia can attest, our state experiences significant annual precipitation and high humidity. The problem with all of this moisture is that the soft alluvial soil in Georgia is already greatly saturated, so when it rains heavily, water is slow to absorb. This puts tremendous pressure on the foundations of homes and businesses and makes leaks or flooded basements a real possibility. To effectively bolster and waterproof the walls of the basement requires contractors from an established waterproofing company with years of experience in middle Georgia – something Engineered Solutions of Georgia can boast.
In general, there three types of basement waterproofing that warrant consideration:
- Interior waterproofing – water is redirected out of the home through a drainage system, often with the help of a pump
- Exterior waterproofing or foundation waterproofing– water is prevented from ever reaching the home by installing or rerouting the foundation drain to direct water flow to another location
- Internal sealants- sealants are a temporary solution to leaks or small cracks and can be used to caulk window perimeters and joints
