In a perfect world, exterior footing drains would function properly for the life of your home and water would be efficiently diverted away from your foundation. We don't live in a perfect world though which means you are likely to experience the negative effects of water creeping into your basement or crawlspace at some point down the road.
With as many as 1 in 50 homeowners filing a water damage claim, it only makes sense to be proactive in keeping your home dry. Too many homeowners ignore the signs of water damage in their basements or crawlspaces and then suffer the consequences. Small water leaks left untreated turn into costly home repairs and also encourage mold and mildew growth in your home.

Basement Waterproofing
Report
The exterior waterproofing systems installed around your foundation will inevitably fail, allowing ground water to put pressure on the walls and floor of your foundation. Once this occurs, your basement or crawlspace will begin to allow water to leak through. If this scenario becomes a reality for you, rain will no longer be your friend.

Report
Crawlspace waterproofing is not something you think about day to day, but when water invades, there can be major consequences with your health, foundation, finances, and your sanity!
