A poorly executed waterproofing job can be a dangerous thing. One leak in a basement, an underground computer room or an archive storage space could cost thousands of dollars in consequential damage.
Here are a few tips to watch out for as you carry out continual inspection on the status of your homes basement:
- Check for paint and plaster cracks. Cracking may indicate underlying damage below the surface. They could also be due to incorrect paint application.
- Water damage often manifests as damp spots and mould on the interior or exterior of a building and will also feel damp to the touch.
- Any discolouring on walls may indicate weak spots. Dark spots on ceilings, interior and exterior walls and inconsistency in colour on waterproofing membranes are potential signs of damage.
Applying waterproofing is a detailed operation that requires the expertise of specialists who can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the precise specifications required to protect your home from flooding.
Do not hire an amateur to complete your basement waterproofing job in an effort to save money. The impact of inadequate workmanship will ultimately harm the integrity of your home let alone the waterproofing system in place.
