Basement Waterproofing: How Long Does It Take?
Generally, a waterproofing project will be completed within around three days. However, as with any home improvement project, it's important to bear in mind that there are variables that can impact the timeframe you can expect for your project. For example, the size of your property and the extent of water damage that has already taken place might make the project take longer than it would otherwise.
Steps Involved in Waterproofing
The professionals at Reliable Basement and Drain have a proven system for handling your waterproofing needs. Here's an overview of the steps involved in such a project.
Excavation
In order to give your home the thorough treatment it needs, the first step is to access the areas that need to be repaired and protected. Our experts will dig an access point so that they can work with the walls of your foundation. It's important to have professionals for this step in the process so that after the work is done, the excavation can be closed back up and your property can be restored to its former condition.
Cleaning
Once the area has been fully dug out and the foundation wall is exposed, the next step is cleaning the area. Dirt and loose concrete will first be removed so the area can be fully exposed. At this stage of the process, any mold that has formed as a result of the moist, damp environment can also be removed to prevent any harm to those on your property who are sensitive to it.
Sealing Any Cracks
Preventing water from leaking into your home is essential to protecting your property. To that end, our experts will take the time to seal off any holes in the foundation of your home to stop water from infiltrating the area. Using high-quality materials, they'll give you results that will last through the years so your property has protection that can withstand the test of time.
Improving Drainage
To further protect your home, our team will also take steps to keep water away from your home's foundation. The exact method used to achieve this goal varies depending on the unique circumstances of your project. A backflow system will often be put in place to divert water that would otherwise settle around your home and create a flooding risk.
