Proper Waterproofing Methods

April 28, 2011

I was recently watching a popular home repair TV show, and I generally tend to agree with the host’s methods of home repairs. However, I was extremely shocked at this one particular episode and his method of waterproofing a basement! His solution to keep the basement dry was to actually bring water into the house, and then pump it out with a sump pump. Not only that, the sump pump drained right next to the house, where water will easily accumulate and be brought back into the house again.

This method of waterproofing is like putting a bucket under your leaky roof to catch the water. When your roof leaks, you want to repair the roof to prevent water from entering your home altogether, don’t you?

Your goal with a wet basement should be to prevent water from entering your home… period. Why would you want to purposely bring water into your home to have to be pumped out? How do you think this method will work during a storm that knocks out your power? If your power fails and your sump pump doesn’t work, you are going to end up with a flooded basement!

At NVBWS we make wet basements and crawl spaces dry by stopping the water from entering your home with our proprietary waterproofing product and EXTERIOR waterproofing system. Learn more about how this system is the only method guaranteed to solve your water intrusion problem.
