How to Waterproof Your Home in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Macon, Marietta, Norcross & Throughout Central Georgia

waterproof homeMold growth, damaged or ruined property, and expensive repairs. These are just a few of the disastrous effects of water infiltration into your home. Fortunately, there are steps that you can take to help waterproof your home, and reduce the likelihood of basement flooding.

Here are some ways you can help waterproof your home on your own:

  • Walk around your home and pay close attention to the foundation.  Look for low areas or spots where it seems that water would flow toward the home – not away.  Fill these spots in with mulch or soil so that water can’t collect against the foundation.
  • Make sure that your gutters and downspouts are clean and working properly.  If a gutter is clogged rainwater can collect on the ground below, saturating the soil and increasing risk for home infiltration.
  • Keep your bushes and landscaping trimmed so that soil can sufficiently dry.
  • If you have a basement pump, make sure that it has been serviced recently and is in full working order.
  • Caulk your basement windows.
