Identifying the Problem

Knowing the cause of water penetrating the basement helps technicians know the method to solve the problem. Some of the common factors contributing to the issue are;

  • Ineffective systems: when the existing waterproofing system is in bad condition, it will not prevent rainwater from penetrating the basement. Still, the gutters will need to function appropriately to lead water away from the exterior walls and foundation.
  • The landscape: the area adjacent to your house should lead water away from the property to prevent flooding and water seepage. Proper landscaping can solve the issue.  
  • Cracks in walls lead to water penetration in the basement. Still, low windows will let in excess runoff water when it rains heavily.
  • Sewerage system deterioration: if you find a foul smell in the basement and the room is damp, you probably have a problem with the sewer lines.

Regardless of the cause to water penetration in the flooding, it is best to consider expert waterproofing Mississauga service providers for the tasks. Experienced companies will have technicians with the right skills and tools depending on your need. 

What to Do

Although some blogs will focus on gutter repair and maintenance for basement waterproofing, it is not a sole factor or the most significant one to consider. Professional companies offer valuable solutions to your waterproofing needs. As stated earlier, the cause is a factor, and so is the damage. Since there may be several risk factors, it is advisable to opt for several approaches to get the best results.

A basement waterproofing Mississauga company can inspect your property for the factors and offer you a report. The findings will determine the action to take. The options include;

  • Interior system: the option is cheaper and easier to accomplish than the alternative. It is ideal for minor issues or the unavailability of exterior waterproofing techniques for your problem. The options include installing sump pumps, integrating them in drainage systems and sealing small cracks on the surfaces.  
  • Exterior system: if you want a long term solution select this option. The work is intensive, and it involves altering the existing structure to install waterproofing systems.
