Seeping Water?
Some options are a must when you have come across the seepage of water from the walls. First, you need to stop it immediately. The new sealant made of epoxy polyurethane is applied in the form of injection into the crack. That will help restore the wall and block any excess moisture. Another good option is a cement-based sealant applied directly to the wall or floor surface. Its advantage is the ability to react and crystallize with the concrete, the basic material your foundation wall is usually made of. This foam can expand and patch all the crevices and fractures on the surface. The leakage will stop forever.
However, consider the cause of crack appearance before applying the epoxy injection. Sometimes, it can be much more serious and require more consistent measures to be taken.
Serious Basement Leaks and Flooding?
A good-quality sump pump can become a rescuer for your home at times of emergency when you face flooding or dramatic leakages. The sump pump is an effective waterproofing method. It drives the excess water away from the foundation. The special place where the pump is located in the basement is called a sump pit. The only thing to remember is that you need to speak to a qualified plumber before the installation of the pump. Only an experienced waterproofing contractor can advise the right pump of the appropriate size and capacity that suits exactly your needs and the technical characteristics of your property. The correctly chosen pump should be reliable and durable. Never try to install it on your own, though. This is a job for a well-trained technician only. You do not have enough expertise to handle such an installation.

Moisture in Your Basement?
Interior systems for water drainage make up the best solution for keeping the basement dry. They perform redirecting the seepage from the foundation walls away into the garden. You can also install drain tiles. They are specific pipes perforated with holes. You can install them along the interior foundation wall and then cover them with gravel. In this way, the nasty moisture that has penetrated into the basement is channeled to the sump pit. The pump then pushes it away outside. This is the main working procedure for most drainage systems. Though, the basic principles can change depending on the materials, ways of placement, pipe length, and shape as well as on the pitch level. The best variant is when your system is equipped with a perforated PVC pipe. It should also be equipped with a special filter sock made of nylon. That is used for filtering debris that is most often the main cause of clogging.
