Business and Home Moisture Management

Water and moisture damage is the leading cause of damage to homes and businesses and every year hundreds of billions of dollars in damage occurs. Whether the damage originates from a weather event or from groundwater, it can cause so many problems such as mold, pests, insect infestation, structural damage, and damage to stored personal items.

Allowing this damage to persist unchecked will only make the situation worse and increase the overall cost. And in the last 10 years, many parts of the US have experienced wetter-than-average climates. Unfortunately, this trend is only projected to become worse as climate change, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels cause worsening storm systems and heavier precipitation

Home Waterproofing Company

Waterproofing a home or business in New Jersey or Philadelphia involves processes such as perimeter drainage systems, foundation restoration, and exterior modifications such as proper grading and downspout configuration.

If water is seeping through the foundation in numerous areas then a perimeter drain with a sump pump system is often the best course of action. These systems are done by digging a trench around the perimeter of the basement and allowing water to pass through the foundation and into these drainage systems which then direct the water to a sump pump which pumps it out of the basement.

If there is an isolated area or two where moisture penetrates the foundation, spot repairs can be utilized. When no actual water is coming through the foundation or floor, but moisture in the form of vapor is causing a humidity issue, sealing the foundation walls and floors is a possible solution. It is very important to understand which type of problem you are having so you are provided with the proper solution. The perimeter drainage system is very effective, but it is also very expensive with costs running in the tens of thousands of dollars.
