How To Waterproof Your Basement And Keep It Dry All Year Long West Allis, WI
A dry basement is essential for the health and safety of your home. Water in your basement can lead to mold growth, which can cause respiratory problems for you and your family. In extreme cases, standing water in your basement can even lead to a collapse of the foundation. Basement waterproofing is a necessary home improvement that every homeowner should take seriously.
There are a few different ways that you can waterproof your basement, depending on the severity of the problem. For example, if you have cracks in your foundation, you may need to have them filled in by a professional. If your basement is damp but not wet, you may be able to solve the problem by installing a dehumidifier. However, if your basement is chronically wet or has significant water damage, you will need to take more serious measures.
One such measure is to install an interior drainage system. This system consists of a perforated pipe that is installed around the perimeter of your basement, along with a sump pump to remove the water. Another option is to install an exterior drainage system, which consists of French drains that are installed around the outside of your home. Exterior drainage systems are more expensive than interior systems, but they are also more effective. 
No matter which method you choose, it’s important to take action now to waterproof your basement before the problem gets worse. Ignoring the problem will only lead to more costly repairs down the road. If you’re not sure where to start, we recommend calling a professional contractor who specializes in basement waterproofing. They will be able to assess the situation and recommend the best course of action for your home.
