  1. 5 Common Basement Waterproofing Mistakes AND HOW TO AVOID THEM www.bwsdry.com OVERVIEW Basement waterproofing is essential for maintaining a dry and functional space in your home. However, homeowners must improve during the waterproofing process, leading to potential issues. Don't let water damage your basement - contact BWS today for expert water leak repair services in PA. IGNORING PROPER DRAINAGE One of the biggest mistakes is neglecting proper drainage. Failing to direct water away from your foundation can result in water seepage and damage. To avoid this, ensure your gutters and downspouts are clean and debris-free. IGNORING EXTERIOR WATERPROOFING Another common mistake is focusing solely on interior waterproofing while neglecting the exterior. Exterior waterproofing measures are crucial in preventing water intrusion. You create a comprehensive waterproofing system by addressing both the interior and exterior.

  2. NOT ADDRESSING FOUNDATION CRACKS INCORRECTLY APPLYING WATERPROOFING PRODUCTS Ignoring foundation cracks is a significant mistake when it comes to basement waterproofing. Even tiny cracks can let the water seep into your basement. It's crucial to address any cracks promptly by filling them with an appropriate sealant or epoxy. Improper application of waterproofing products can lead to ineffective results. Whether using waterproofing paints, sealants, or membranes, following the manufacturer's instructions is essential. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly prepared before applying any products to ensure proper adhesion and effectiveness. LACK OF PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE Attempting to waterproof your basement without professional guidance can be a recipe for disaster. Consulting with a basement waterproofing in Lancaster, PA, can help you identify potential issues, recommend the right solutions, and ensure proper installation. You can save time, money, and headaches in the long run. CONCLUSION By avoiding these typical basement waterproofing mistakes, you can protect the basement from water damage and maintain a dry, functional space in your home. Remember to prioritize proper drainage, address interior and exterior waterproofing, accurately follow product instructions, promptly address foundation cracks, and seek professional guidance.
