Complete Basement Systems can implement thorough waterproofing solutions that will arrest any water issues and make sure your basement stays safe, healthy, and dry. Here is a quick look at some of our waterproofing solutions and how they can permanently waterproof your basement.
Interior Drainage Systems and Sump Pumps
The first step is to set up a thorough interior drainage system within your basement. This complex series of pipes will be tailor-made to fit within your unique basement. As its name implies, these pipes will be installed within the basement’s floor. Indeed, you might not even notice that these pipes are hard at work much of the time. But of course, that’s the entire point of the interior drainage system.
The drainage system then connects to the sump pump, which is a self-activating device that helps pump water out of and away from your home. You have the option to add a backup battery to your sump pump system so you will not have to worry about it failing should you suffer a power outage. This pump is very easy to maintain with our professional guidance.
Dehumidifiers
Though the combination of an interior drainage system and a powerful sump pump can be quite effective, it may still not be enough to completely rid your basement of moisture. Humidity can easily build up within the basement without you knowing, leading to all sorts of issues further down the line. Indeed, the relative humidity of your basement can build up to the point where it invites mold or mildew to grow within.
A basement dehumidifier can combat all these issues from ever cropping up, all while keeping your basement thoroughly dry. You can even adjust the dehumidifier settings yourself to a humidity level that is most comfortable to you. Dehumidifiers can also cycle out the harmful particles within the air, leaving your basement with fresher, cleaner air instead.
