Why fix it?
Basements are imperfect concrete structures built in soils that vary from region to region. Leaking basements have been a problem that has troubled homeowners for a long time. This water can enter a basement through the walls, floors, and joints between them.
Fixing your basement will increase your property value. Wet basements or foundation problems can decrease your home's value by 10-15%. Once the basement is dry you can increase the living space in your home by finishing your basement to create a home office, family or children's play room, workshop, fitness room, or dry storage area.
Having Your Basement Waterproofed Could Also Prevent the Following:
- Fungus, molds and mildew
- Health Problems - Allergies
- Structural Damage
- Damaged Dry Wall
- Termite and Insect Infestation
- Peeling of Paint and Wall Coverings
- Electrical Shock Hazards
- Warping and/or Dry Rot of Paneling
- Failure of Support Block
- Rust and Corrosion of Metal Appliances
- Widening of Existing Cracks
- Bowing/Buckling of Walls
- Collapsed Walls
How do we do it?
Nova Basement Systems uses state-of-the-art methods to fix wet basements by installing Basement Systems patented waterproofing systems, WaterGuard and DryTrak, that are perimeter drainage systems designed to meet any challenges and help keep your basement dry permanently. In most cases the drainage channel is installed under your basement floor along the perimeter, directing all water to the sump pump system. So any water that's coming through the wall cracks or footing joints is being captured at the perimeter, thus keeping your basement floor dry ALL THE TIME.
