Internal Waterproofing

KEEP YOUR PROPERTY DRY AND FREE FROM INTERIOR LEAKS

Most people turn to professional waterproofing when they’re having trouble stopping recurring leaks in the basement or other areas of a home or building. Stopping interior water leaks can be frustrating. It’s hard to find the source of the leak, and concerns that ongoing leaks threaten to damage the foundation and walls are justifiable.

Keeping basements, warehouse floors, walls, and brickwork dry is important to the overall health of a home or building. It protects the value of a property and keeps it safe from mold and potential slipping injuries. DryShield provides modern interior and exterior waterproofing methods for every home owner.

Our Interior Waterproofing Steps

Our Professional foundation repair contractors have experience with interior waterproofing. Here are some of the basic steps we follow:

• If there is a current or past water leak affecting the foundation, our contractors first work to locate the source of the leak. Fixing the source helps prevent further damage to brick or cement work. It makes repairs a permanent, rather than a temporary, solution.
• After the source has been dealt with, technicians will inspect the membrane for gaps and cracks that could let moisture in. They work to seal gaps and cracks with caulking, polyurethane fillers and other products to improve water resistance. The waterproof  coating can be applied to floors and walls that repel moisture as it tries to enter.
• If leaks persist, we work to install interior drainage systems that stop water from pooling. It also keeps water away from important appliances, machinery or business inventory.
• If necessary, dehumidifiers can be placed around moist areas in a basement or warehouse to stop moisture from collecting.
