Basement wall waterproofing

Once you have drained water away at the perimeter of your basement floor and made sure that it is pumped out reliably, the next thing to consider is do you need basement wall waterproofing? Typically you can get your basement floor dry without doing anything to your basement walls - but in some cases, especially with stone or block walls, a basement wall waterproofing system may be necessary.

When is basement wall waterproofing necessary?

Even if the walls aren't visibly leaking water, a basement wall still allows water vapor to pass through. Block walls not only allow lots of water vapor through because of their hollow core, but cold (and damp) outside air easily passes through. This is also the case for stone walls as well.

How to tell if you need basement wall waterproofing

If your basement walls are damp, stained, chalky, flaky, or water is simply seeking through; it probably is the case the case that you need basement wall waterproofing. If you are unsure in anyway, it is always recommend to consult a basement waterproofing expert before going ahead with any decoration. At Wise Basement Systems, we are always happy to help.
