Interior versus Exterior Waterproofing
If you have discovered cracks or leaks in your walls, standing water in your basement, or detect a musky, dank smell in your crawlspace, your Georgia home or business may be at risk for disastrous water damage and mold growth. The good news is that you have options. At Engineered Solutions of Georgia, we are proud to offer both interior and exterior waterproofing services to property owners in Athens, Atlanta, Conyers, Decatur, Lawrenceville, and throughout Georgia.
With interior waterproofing, our experienced staff will install a trench in your basement, near the foundation, that collects water that’s entered your basement, and redirect it through a drainage system out of the house. In turn, this keeps your basement dry by preventing accumulation or flooding. Additionally, we utilize an internal sealant to mend any cracks and stop any leaks that may be contributing to water intrusion.
Exterior waterproofing, on the other hand, is a more involved repair that actually prevents the water from ever reaching your house. From the outside of your home, we’ll excavate your foundation, clean the area and remove any roots or plant material, and place a new drainage system below the floor. This way water is captured and redirected away from the home into the daylight. Exterior waterproofing is popular because it keeps water away and is a more permanent fix than interior waterproofing.
Here are some signs that you may want to consider contacting Engineered Solutions to learn about waterproofing:
- You notice standing pools of basement water in your basement
- The walls of your basement have developed small cracks – even if they aren’t leaking yet
- Your windows or walls seem to bleed or seep
- You find water coming in through mortar joints or under basement footers
Engineered Solutions is proud to offer a completely free in-house assessment and no-obligation quote for our services as well, so you have nothing to lose by giving us a call. We believe in giving our customers all the facts and then letting them decide which service is right for them, which is why we make the whole process as painless as possible.
