Premier Foundation Waterproofing Solutions in Greensboro

Getting water in any part of your home can bring forth a ton of challenges. Ultimately you’re probably going to be spending a lot more money repairing issues related to water damage than you would in a waterproofing service. Some of the challenges that we see for some homeowners, particularly ones that are new owners of a home, is that they don’t quite know which parts of the house are going to be the most vulnerable to water damage. It’s not just crawl spaces that could benefit from waterproofing. Especially if we’re dealing with a home that has a natural incline towards the house that water is going to flow to. Here are a couple more things to consider about waterproofing.

When Should You Consider Waterproofing As An Option?

This is one of those questions that we get often. At times even from people who come in for other services. Particularly ones related to repairs due to water damage. In general with waterproofing you’d rather be over prepared than not prepared at all. You can consider waterproofing as an option at any point. If you know that heavy rains are going to come you’d probably want to give us a call for an inspection just in case. 

How Often Is This Something I Should Be Looking Into

For the most part “experts'' hover between looking into waterproofing or crawlspace inspections are a yearly occurrence. Maybe something that you should be doing every 6 months in some cases. It really comes down to how your home is built where water tends to flow naturally. Some homes are going to have more trouble than others. Just due to the fact that they may unfortunately be located directly in a natural path that rainwater likes to take!

Crawl Spaces Are Not The Only Thing That We Can Waterproof

Since the natural path that water takes can threaten more parts of your home than just your crawl space we’re able to waterproof more parts of your home. Let’s say for example that you have a garage that’s under the street level. When it rains water is going to tend to want to flow into your garage. That can be a bit of a design flaw with the home in general. In any case though, if that’s the situation that you find yourself in we can help by waterproofing the area. To try and minimize the water damage that you could see particularly when it starts to rain constantly around here.

Try And Be Proactive With Waterproofing

With foundation repair services in general you’ll probably want to get repairs done before things have gotten out of hand. Waterproofing is perhaps the thing you want to be the most proactive about. One bad day with a ton of rain can cause serious damages to a home. That’s going to cost you time, effort and money to set right. That’s why waterproofing as a preventive service can be worth its weight in gold. Especially if you’re conscious about the need for it!
