When to Call in a Basement Waterproofing Expert

September 10, 2024

If you notice any signs of water infiltration issues in your home, it is time to call a basement waterproofing and foundation expert like Best Buy Waterproofing. Here are some situations that require professional intervention:

Visible Water: If you see any visible water, including small puddles or minor leaks.

Moisture Issues: Damp walls, musty odors, or visible mold growth.

Foundation Cracks: Any crack in your foundation, no matter how small, can allow water to seep into your basement.

Efflorescence: This is a white, crystalline substance that can appear on basement walls. It’s a sign that water is leaching through the foundation and can indicate potential waterproofing issues.

Water Stains:  Even if no water is currently present, water stains on basement walls are signs of an ongoing problem and should be checked by a professional

When the Heavy Rains Come:  Be proactive. Even if there are no signs of water seepage after heavy rain, it is always a good idea to call in a professional inspector to ensure that your drainage system is working properly.

By calling in a professional basement waterproofing expert early on, you can address potential water issues in your home before they cause significant damage and potentially expensive repairs. Early diagnosis saves you time and money.
