Waterproofing Your Basement
Waterproofing basement walls is a complex job for home builders. Exterior waterproofing requires excavation and regrading around the foundation, and it's best left to professionals. Interior basement wall waterproofing is doable if there's no major damage, but severe dampness can mean structural problems. Homeowners can try simple solutions first, such as running dehumidifiers and insulating pipes to prevent condensation. If the problem persists, more extensive indoor and outdoor measures may be needed. Most effective basement waterproofing techniques are applied during construction, but some can also be used on older homes. These include prefabricated sheet membranes and single component liquid-applied products such as modified bitumen, bentonite, or thermoplastic. Builders can apply these products by brush, roller or spray. The building materials must be thoroughly cleaned and dry before the waterproofing is applied.
