Is Water Seeping Through Your Foundation?
Water can cause a lot of problems for a home.
A flooded basement or crawl space can cause a host of damage including the following:
- High humidity
- Musty odors
- Mold and mildew
- Destroyed personal belongings
- Structural damage
Water can also seep up through the slab of a slab foundation, causing water problems or cause erosion beneath your foundation, which can cause structural issues for your home. Even if you do not have water coming into your home, if you see it pooling near your home's foundation when it rains, it is a good idea to take action to prevent structural damage.
Waterproofing Solutions in Muskogee and Other Areas of Oklahoma
Pierman Foundation Repair Services of Oklahoma offers an affordable and efficient waterproofing solution to direct water away from your home. Which one is right for you depends upon factors including your type of foundation and the underlying cause of the water issues (i.e. poor drainage or rising water table).
Interior Waterproofing Systems
For some, the best waterproofing option will be an interior drainage system.
Interior waterproofing systems are best known for being used in basements, but can also be utilized in conjunction with crawl space encapsulation in crawl spaces with serious water problems.
Interior drainage systems aren't concerned with keeping water out of your home. They are focused instead on making sure it has no impact on your living areas.
First, the slab basement floor is broken up around the perimeter of your basement. This allows for the installation of a French drain system in the interior of your basement. Drain pipe is laid and weep holes are drilled into the wall at around the area of the pipe. These holes become the path of least resistance for water to drain from your basement walls, sending it straight into the drainage pipe.
This method is especially effective in basements for water entering through cracks in the exterior of block walls or through a basement's cove joint (the place where the wall and floor meet).
The drain is configured so the water flows into a sump pit, from which a sump pump propels the water out of your home and into a place in your yard where it can naturally drain away from your foundation.
The pipe is then covered with gravel and concrete is poured back over the top, repairing the slab floor.
This system can keep your basement or crawl space dry without disturbing your landscaping.
Exterior Drainage Systems
Our exterior waterproofing system is the most efficient way to keep water away from your home because it stops it from even collecting around your foundation.
Through the use of a French drain system, we can divert the water away from your foundation to a place in your yard where it won't cause any damage.
This solution not only prevents your basement from flooding, it also removes the other problems that can be caused by pooling water near a home's foundation, including bowing basement walls.
This is also the preferred method for waterproofing around slab foundations.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation uses a vapor barrier to reduce the levels of moisture and humidity in your crawl space.
The vapor barrier prevents much of the water vapor and moisture entering through the crawl space walls and floor from affecting your home's structural components.
The crawl space is also sealed, including the vents, to further prevent moisture from entering
While crawl space encapsulation stops many moisture-related problems, if your crawl space is frequently flooding, other methods might have to be used in conjunction with it.
