Basement Waterproofing

Investing in your home or office is one of the most significant decisions you can make. Protecting it from potential water damage caused by Mother Nature’s unpredictability is crucial. By being proactive and choosing basement waterproofing, you can save yourself countless dollars and unnecessary grief in the long run. Pressman Home Services has a proven waterproofing system that will safeguard your property for years to come.

Having extra space is always great, especially for entertaining, additional living quarters, or storage. Basement waterproofing ensures that the area will be free of dampness and leaks, allowing you to make fuller and better use of the space you have. With time, it’s natural for buildings to settle, but you don’t have to settle for unfortunate consequences like water seeping through the floor and/or walls, damaging the foundation, and ruining your belongings.

The Dangers of Not Waterproofing Your Basement

Not waterproofing your basement can result in several problems that can harm your home and family.
At Pressman Home Services, we know that the most common dangers of not waterproofing your basement include:

Pests and Infestations: Pests love humidity and thrive in environments where there’s trapped moisture. Without proper basement waterproofing, your basement could attract silverfish, fish moths, centipedes, and even termites.
Property Damage: Your home is at an increased risk of basement flooding when you don’t waterproof your basement. That means anything that’s in your basement is at risk of water damage.
Health Issues: Moist or flooded basements can cause mold and mildew growth. Mold not only grows on surfaces but can release spores into the air, negatively affecting your health and causing respiratory illnesses. Professional basement waterproofing helps prevent mold and mildew growth, keeping your basement dry and your family safe.
Foundation Damage: When concrete foundations become wet from basement moisture, they can begin to crack, and as temperatures change, these cracks can expand, putting your home and family’s safety at risk. Professional basement waterproofing can help prevent water from eroding the concrete in your foundation, keeping it solid and strong.
