Basement Waterproofing

Areas of a building that are below grade are more vulnerable to flooding, leaks, and generally higher humidity, which is why it is often important to choose building materials and finishes that are resistant to water damage. However, even water-resistant materials can gradually deteriorate or degrade with prolonged exposure to moisture. To help reduce the humidity of your basement and prevent flooding or leaks, contact Deck Waterproofing Portland OR for assistance. In addition to decks and patios, our experts are able to waterproof any part of your home or business that is exposed to the elements or particularly susceptible to water exposure. 

Foundation
The best way to waterproof a basement is by starting with the foundation. In order to keep water from damaging the foundation of your home or penetrating through cracks and gaps, there are a number of measures that can be taken. A waterproofing membrane can be installed around concrete foundation to limit water exposure and protect the foundation from water damage. We can also use a sealer to prevent water from being able to enter into your home through cracks and gaps. Avoid the stress and hassle of a flood or leak through preventative maintenance with our waterproofing services for Portland OR. 

Basement
Occasionally, a basement can sustain water damage even with proper foundation waterproofing. Floods and leaks can stem from any number of sources, including burst pipes or an unattended bathtub. To minimize the damage caused by such unexpected events, we offer a range of basement waterproofing services to help you protect your home or business. We offer concrete waterproofing, polyurea floor coating, and epoxy flooring to ensure that even in the case of a flood or leak, your basement floor will not be damaged. 

Windows
Although windows can be an excellent source of natural light and help to make your basement feel less dark and dreary, it can also be a point of weakness. Windows that are not properly sealed and weatherproofed can allow moisture into your basement. If there is excessive condensation on your windows or a leak originating from your window, you need to take care of the problem before it causes damage to the walls and flooring of your basement. We can correct the issue using a sealer or caulking to waterproof your windows and prevent water from being able to enter your home.

Sealants
Special sealant/waterproofing coatings are utilized to seal the crack and keep the moisture off and water.It's important not to forget that although sealants are an inexpensive method of addressing the water issue, it's not an ideal solution for a house with strong hydrostatic pressure.

Crack injections are a common basement waterproofing method. Most homeowners choose the solution since it's less expensive and does not involve exterior excavation. Additionally, it is referred to as a"water management" solution as it doesn't block the water from going into the walls of the cellar.

If you decide on interior waterproofing, the basement waterproofing contractor will set up weeping tiles to direct the water from the basement into a sump pump system.

If you go for an inexperienced contractor, they can harm the structural integrity of the base when installing weeping tiles and sump pump.

Exterior waterproofing can be a costly and time-consuming procedure based on the water issue in your home.
