Interior basement waterproofing reduces excess moisture in your home, as living with a damp or wet basement poses health risks due to mould, mildew and bacteria growth and is also dangerous to your home’s structural integrity.
Mould requires moisture, water, and dust to grow. It gradually destroys the area it colonizes, so prevention is best for water and humidity in your home. If you notice wet spots or a musty smell, have the professionals at Prime Waterproofing look at it immediately.
How it’s done
This repair is done from the inside of your home by adding a drainage system that includes a layer of crushed stone underneath the basement floor, a vapour and insulation barrier and a sump pump. It’s important to note that interior waterproofing is a quicker solution to water leaks. However, it is best used in conjunction with an exterior solution to ensure no additional water damage in the future from foundation erosion.
