Many homeowners find their basements become wet and musty over time and wish something could be done to remedy the problem. If the moisture is coming from the outside, it is possible to dry the area and prevent further moisture from entering the basement by waterproofing the basement walls. Moisture coming from the inside can be removed as well. Three options for making a waterproof basement in Natick MA are installing an internal drainage system, applying a foundation wall wrap, and using a moisture control system.
Internal Drainage System
One option for removing water from and waterproofing a basement is to install an internal drainage system. Some homes are built in areas with a high water table, which forces water up through the basement floor. Water can also seep in where the floor meets the wall. An internal drainage system, such as the French Drain System, combined with a sump pump, can relieve this pressure by draining the water, thus eliminating the water seeping into the basement.
Foundation Wall Wrap
Applying a foundation wall wrap is another option for waterproofing a basement. A foundation wall wrap, such as Flexi-Seal, is made of a heavy-duty material that is tear-resistant and durable. It can be applied to entire basements and crawl spaces and create a clean, dry surface. The wrap acts as a seal, completely protecting the space from ground vapor and external moisture.
Moisture Control System
A third option for removing water from and waterproofing a basement is to install a moisture control system. Basements which are damp due to high humidity inside the house can benefit from the use of a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier will draw in the moist air and expel the water, leaving behind fresh and dry air. Removing the humidity from a basement will lead to a reduction in molds, musty air, and condensation.
