The Benefits of Exterior Basement Waterproofing in Atlanta

Exterior basement waterproofing from Engineered Solutions of Georgia is an excellent way to protect your Atlanta area home from potentially disastrous flooding. Our highly trained team of waterproofing experts has the firsthand experience needed to handle our clients’ waterproofing needs thoroughly and professionally, helping provide peace of mind that the home is protected from water intrusion year round.

Homes in the Atlanta area are particularly susceptible to basement flooding because of the frequent precipitation, high levels of humidity, and alluvial clay soil that are common in northern Georgia. The pressure of underground water against the foundation of a building can eventually cause water to seep through the walls of the basement. Additionally, moisture can cause loose soil under a home’s foundation to wash away, leading to the resettlement of the foundation and potentially major home damage.

There are several different waterproofing methods currently on the market, but if you’re looking for the most thorough, comprehensive service available, exterior basement waterproofing is the way to go. This process entails:

• The foundation of the home is carefully excavated by professional waterproofing contractors.
• The home’s existing drainage system is inspected, cleaned, and either replaced or repaired depending on the specific system.
• The drainage system is then adjusted to ensure that the water is collected and rerouted away from the house before it has the opportunity to seep through the foundation.
• Additionally, the foundation is carefully inspected to ensure that no damage exists that could lead to further problems.

This is an involved process that will take an investment of time and resources from the homeowner, but it is an excellent way of protecting your home, possessions, and family from the ramifications of unexpected flooding. We understand the decision to waterproof your basement is significant and our team of knowledgeable waterproofing experts is standing by to answer all of your questions and help you make an informed decision.
