Why Basements Need Waterproofing
Basements are prone to moisture because they are below ground level. Groundwater pressure, soil moisture, and cracks can cause severe damage. Dr Terrace Waterproofing provides advanced basement waterproofing to protect your foundation.
Understanding Basement Leakage
Basement leakage is caused by constant pressure from the surrounding soil. Water enters through cracks or weak points in the wall. If untreated, it can weaken the entire building structure.
Crack Injection and Sealing
They use high-strength injection grouts to fill and seal cracks deeply. This prevents groundwater from entering the basement walls.
Exterior Wall Waterproofing
If accessible, the external side of the basement walls is coated with premium waterproof membranes. This forms a solid barrier against moisture.
Interior Wall Waterproofing
Interior coatings are applied to stop dampness from showing on the walls. These coatings resist continuous pressure and block water entry.
Floor Waterproofing Solutions
Basement floors are treated with protective coatings to prevent water from rising from below. This protects the basement from flooding and dampness.
FAQs
1. Why do basements get wet?
Because the soil around the basement always contains moisture that pushes toward the walls.
2. Will waterproofing stop the basement smell?
Yes. The damp smell disappears once the walls and floor are sealed.
3. How long will the treatment last?
5–10 years, depending on soil and water conditions.
