How to Prevent Basement Leaks?
- If your home or cottage is located in a flood prone area then installing a sump pump with battery backup will reduce the risk of basement leaks. We have a range of systems to suit your needs. SuperSump, TripleSafe or UltraSump,will prevent any water accumulation.
- Fixing cracks in the flooring and walls avoids basement leaks. Breaks and gaps are an open invitation for water to get into your home. Our FlexiSpan® Wall Crack Repair System and Foundation Supportworks for stability issues have proven to be lasting solutions. We also have exterior sealants to prevent any water seepage.
- Installing a good quality vapour barrier effectively eliminates condensation, dampness and water seepage from the soil, preventing basement leaks. We have a full line of wall, floor and plumbing systems for you to choose from.
- Window well drainage is an ideal solution for the excess water that drips down your walls causing basement leaks and encouraging mould growth. It’s a small price to pay when compared to expensive remediation projects.
