Basement Waterproofing Services

If moisture seeps through your basement walls, it can cause significant damage to furniture, wall finishes, and floor coverings. The causes may be poor waterproofing by the builder, including poor backfilling, and poorly sealed service penetrations.

Before every basement conversion or remodel, it is essential that the whole space is properly waterproofed by an experienced basement contractor. Cutting corners and entrusting this critical work with an inexperienced or unqualified contractor means you may have to deal with the stress and the cost of corrective work.

A poorly waterproofed basement can cause headaches down the line, especially where the basement has been remodelled into living accommodation or where the conversion has incorporated luxury features like home cinemas, saunas, and gyms.

But even with the best efforts of the builder, you may still end up with water damage issues in your basement. The more common culprits are extreme weather and shifting soil. For example, heavy rain or snowfall can soak the ground resulting in water seepage into the basement through the cove joint or damp proof membrane.

The advantage of working with a specialized basement contractor is you know you won’t have to hire one contractor for the waterproofing work and another for the clean-up and actual restoration. Assured Basements has all the skills in-house, including certified plumbers and builders.
