Waterproofing paint was specially designed to seal walls to help with the prevention of moisture entering and creating a damp basement. Moisture entering a basement is not the same as water seepage. There may be certain waterproofing paints that will stop the water from entering for a short period of time, but it is still attempting to push itself into your basement. After a short time, it will overcome the paint and you will be left with a wet, leaky basement once again. You need to have a proper basement waterproofing system in place to effectively remove water from your basement once and for all. So, the waterproofing paint works in some sealing situations, but shouldn’t act as a solution to water seepage.

Water is able to get into your basement through tiny cracks that may exist in your basement walls and basement floor. It can also enter through loose mortar joints, the area where your walls meet the basement floor (cove), your window wells, cracks in your foundation, and in many other areas. When your home is built, there is space between the structure of your basement and the soil surrounding it. Over time, this space becomes weak and precipitation seeps downward into the ground and into your basement. Unfortunately, many serious structural problems allowing water to enter can’t be noticed until it’s too late and you have a wet basement on your hands. To remedy this, you need to have the waterproofing solution experts at Absolute Waterproofing Solutions help you. We can fix foundation repair issues and structural damage before installing the proper waterproofing system for your home.

Crawl space encapsulation systems are designed to prevent moisture from entering and building up underneath your home. Moisture build-up in a crawl space can lead to structural damage and the growth of mold and bacteria. We use the Vapor Bright vapor barrier system to encapsulate your crawl space. It prevents any moisture from entering, as well as any unwanted pests. At the time of your crawl space encapsulation, we also install a thermal wrap product to trap heat in your crawlspace. The heat rises and warms your home. It’s very energy efficient and will help with your electrical costs each month. If you have a wet, moldy crawl space in Michigan, you should contact us for a free crawl space encapsulation estimate.
