Waterproofing your home may seem overwhelming but it can be a great investment to maintain the integrity of your living space. The reality is that once you waterproof, you can eliminate the risk of water damage down the road.
Below are the key reasons to waterproof your home:
Eliminate the Need for Future Repairs
Waterproofing your basement at the soonest possible convenience reduces the need for any future repairs due to water damage. The cracks in your foundation will never be the same size that they are today. In other words, the longer you wait, the larger they become as the soils around your home shift, and more water is allowed to seep through.
Reducing the Risk of Mold
All mold needs is a wet and dark place to grow. When mold takes root in your home, it can cause structural and health damage. Waterproofing can reduce the risk of mold by taking away the moisture it needs to thrive.
Protecting the Value of Your Home
Homes that are known to have basement leaks or foundation problems are notoriously more difficult to sell and can lose up to 30 percent of their value on the housing market. Taking the time to waterproof now, can help prevent that from happening to your home in the future. Should you ever look to sell, basement and foundation waterproofing helps you to protect your investment.
Improving the Smell In Your Home
When moisture enters your basement, you eventually get a damp and musty scent that fills the air. Mold growth can lead to an even stronger scent. If you’ve cleaned the basement thoroughly and still get that scent in the air, it may be due to moisture in the basement. Waterproofing will not only eliminate that smell, but it also eliminates the root of the problem.
Preventing Future Foundation Cracks
If your foundation is uneven, one side might start to settle faster than the other and you can get cracks or uneven flooring. When you waterproof your basement, you can prevent water from reaching the inside of your basement and ensure that it settles evenly. This can keep your basement looking great and keep water out for years to come.
