Wet Basement Waterproofing Contractors
In the PA and NY water in the soil leaking into basements is a problem that has troubled homeowners for more than 100 years. This basement water enters through the floors, walls, and joints between them. Over the years, general contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of basement waterproofing methods to keep basements dry with varying success
Stage 1: As the water penetrates the masonry walls and floor, signs of water appear. Signs usually include dampness, discoloration, dark spots, peeling paint, and mold. Stage 2: As the problem continues, actual water begins to seep into the basement. The weakest point, and therefore the easiest access point, is almost always where the walls and floor meet. This is where you begin to see small streams or puddles forming on the floor or running down the walls. Stage 3: Finally, if no action is taken to solve the problem, many different types of damages can occur. Mold can begin to grow on stored items, furniture, wall and floor coverings. Water can cause appliances, tools, and support posts to rust.
