What is Basement Waterproofing?

When most people hear the term “basement waterproofing,” they assume there is some kind of special super paint that you can put on the walls and floor and it will stop water from coming into the home. This kind of “waterproofing” just puts a band-aid on a real problem and is not a long-term solution.

Water naturally seeks the path of least resistance, and wherever there is a small area for the water to flow into, it will find its way in. All homes will have what is called a water table underneath their home. When it rains and the ground gets saturated, the ground water seeps down into the soil and causes the water table under your home to rise.

That’s when the problems begin!

Hydrostatic Pressure and its Effect on Your Home

Water begins pushing against the foundation of your house and up through the floor, causing hydrostatic pressure. This constant pressure will eventually lead to water seepage, cracked walls and/or floors, deteriorating foundation, and settling of homes (where the house actually sinks into the ground).

Waterproofing is actually a loosely used term, because it’s impossible to totally “waterproof” a home. The key to keeping your home dry and sound is water management.

Rightway Water Management

Rightway Waterproofing has over 23 years of experience in managing water. The process of water management is simple: collect the water before it has a chance to even touch the foundation of your home. This is done with a sub-floor pressure relief system. The goal is to allow the water to naturally go on its path into a drainage system, and have the drainage system pump the water away from your home with the use of a sump pump.

Rightway Waterproofing specializes in many different types of water management systems. Depending on whether the water is mostly on the floor or the walls, and what type of foundation you have, our highly trained field inspectors will determine the best, most economical method of keeping your basement dry for the life of your home!

Our system is guaranteed for as long as you own the home, as well as one subsequent owner! Stop worrying about the next rain storm or big snow thaw! Give us a call today for a Free, No Obligation, In Home Estimate
