Pay Now, Save Later
When you engage us to carry out basement waterproofing on your property in St Louis, you are investing in a system which will save you money in the long run. It is worth noting that around 90% of homes across the US will suffer some form of water damage in their basement at some point. So it is not wild speculation to say that your home may be one of those affected. It doesn’t matter whether your basement is purely for storage or actively used by your family, waterproofing will protect it and your home as a whole. Waterproofing can also save on energy bills and increase the value of your home.
Crawlspace Waterproofing
If you have a crawlspace below your basement, then it is worth considering having that area waterproofed at the same time as your basement. This helps protect both your foundations and your general basement area. Crawlspaces often have a lot of wooden components which are especially vulnerable to water and moisture. Our qualified technicians can advise you on the best systems to protect both areas.
Comprehensive Service
As well as years of experience, all our technicians have been trained to the highest industry standards and possess all relevant certificates. Once we have inspected and assessed your basement, we will advise on the best waterproofing solution. Our waterproofing may include both walls and floors of your basement’s interior as well as waterproofing of external walls if necessary. Our aim is to prevent any future issues with water or moisture in any part of your basement and thus save you the risk of potentially costly repairs. Our solutions are fully comprehensive and long term. All the materials we use are top quality and come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and the work we do carries our own guarantee.
Sump Pump Installation
Following our team’s assessment, we may also suggest installing a sump pump as well as other waterproofing solutions. By installing a sump pump you further reduce the risk of water getting into your basement and causing damage. Sump pumps operate through the use of special pits below your basement which will collect water. The pump will automatically turn on when a certain level of water is reached. The water is then pumped outside the house and directed to a good drainage system. A sump pump will only be needed in certain circumstances, and our experts will advise if your need one.
