Our MSE moisture inspector will ask the home or business owner a minimum of 10 questions, and based on the answer to those questions will develop a customized plan. Factors like the age of the home, type of foundation, how the basement is used, and the outside topography all play a vital role in customizing the appropriate mitigation plan.
In New Jersey, where water tables can be extremely high, being close to a lake, stream or river is common. Basements and crawl spaces moisture are always a threat from constant outside attack of the elements. Foundations in these high water table areas often have never been properly sealed and/or maintained, however after the recent pandemic and so many homeowners now working at home, many folks are looking to maximize every square foot of their home and that often leads to restoring the foundation and the basement overall.
In Pennsylvania the water table is not typically as high as New Jersey, however because the entire Philadelphia Metro region is in a valley, heavy precipitation events often cause basement flooding that quickly overtakes most homes’ ability to withstand the torrent. In the past 10 years, there have been more 50 and 100-year storms recorded than in the past 50 years combined.
New developments in masonry technology allows us to resurface foundations that were unheard of a decade ago. As experts in mold inspections and moisture control, as well as the industrial knowledge on how to resolve the water intrusion issues in your home, trust Moisture Science to inspect and recommend solutions for your Philadelphia / South Jersey home or business foundation restoration today.
