Waterproofing

If you want to keep your home safe from the potential dangers that water can create, it is wise to consider waterproofing it.

You’ve likely heard the phrase, “too much of a good thing,” several times in your life, and if you have ever gone through a flood, you know that water may be necessary for life, but too much of it is not a good thing. Water is a very strong force that can erode the strongest of materials, as is evidenced by the many great canyons in the world. If you want to keep your home safe from the potential dangers that water can create, it is wise to consider waterproofing it. At Basement Technologies of Western NC, we offer crawlspace and basement waterproofing services, including ventilation systems, that will keep these areas dry and protect your home.

There are several signs that you should watch for that can signal a need for waterproofing, including:

• Standing water in the basement
