Basement Seepage in Charlottesville

Charlottesville has a lot of homes built with basements underneath, so it’s no wonder that a lot of homeowners have problems with basement seepage. So, what can you do to put a stop to this problem? You should get in touch with Seal-Tite so we can be sure that your basement is sealed off from the outside environment so that moisture can’t get inside and cause problem after problem.

Water seepage is when water or moisture finds its way into your crawl space and causes a slew of problems from a musty smell emanating from the space to deterioration of the foundation. Thus, water seepage is something that must be controlled. 

So what’s the best way to control water seepage and keep your Charlottesville home’s basement dry?

Basement Waterproofing in Charlottesville

The best way to control water seepage is through prevention. Homeowners should make sure that gutters and downspouts drain water away from the foundation and that leaking area of the home are repaired. Also, the foundation grading must slope away from the house. 

Windows should also be properly sealed and, if a basement has concrete flooring, it needs a working drain. 

You can also add a dehumidifier in the basement, and a sump pump (with back up) installed in the lowest lying area. 

There are many more ways to prevent water seepage, and if you can’t figure out what’s causing it, or if you need assistance in fixing the situation, you should call Seal-Tite to ensure proper steps are being taken to keep your basement moisture-free. 

A dry and moisture-free basement not only protects this area of your home, but it also keeps your foundation strong, prevents health issues by not giving mold and fungi a chance to grow, and leaves you stress-free in especially wet weather.
