Our experts will not only help identify the source of the problem, they will create a comprehensive plan to meet all of your needs.

Reasons to Consider Waterproofing Your Basement

There are numerous threats that can undermine the foundation of your home, but water infiltration stands out as the most common and threatening adversary. Understanding where the water is coming from is the key to recommending the proper solution for your problem. It could be as simple as diverting exterior downspouts, re-grading low spots or creating drainage swales to move water away from your home. In more extreme cases it will be necessary to install an underground drain system in your basement to move the water to a sump pump and get it away from your foundation wall. No matter the issue, Evergreen will find a solution tailored to your specific needs.

Protection from Water Damage

Water infiltration into your basement can lead to extensive and costly damage.

Moisture can seep into walls, floors, and structural components, causing them to weaken and deteriorate over time. Waterproofing your basement prevents this damage, saving you from expensive repairs down the road.

Preventing Structural Damage

A wet basement can compromise the structural integrity of your home. Excess moisture weakens the foundation, leading to cracks, shifts, and settling.

By waterproofing your basement, you ensure the stability of your home’s structure, reducing the risk of costly structural repairs.

Avoiding Mold and Mildew Growth

Moisture-laden basements create the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.

These fungi not only pose health risks but also cause unsightly and often irreparable damage to your basement’s interior. Basement waterproofing keeps your living space dry and mold-free, promoting a healthier environment for your family.
