It is essential that any homeowner take proactive actions to waterproof the basement and fend off the repercussions of water and water vapor intrusion.
Water can enter your basement internally if warm damp air enters from above and contacts cooler air causing condensation on the walls and floorings. A good dehumidifier can control this and there are charts that will assist you choose a dehumidifier based on the square video footage of your basement. Water intrusion from outside sources is a larger problem and the choices to protect your basement are to water resistant on the within walls of the basement or on the outside of the walls or do both if you think it is required.

Waterproofing from the inside of the basement can take place in four methods:

Water resistant coverings for concrete are thick and yield a cement life appearance after drying. These finishings should be utilized on unpainted concrete and masonry walls and might require some professional skills to use. The cost for an average basement has to do with $1200 to $1500 if applied by a pro.

Silicate based sealants permeate the concrete and produce a chemically produced water resistant coat that is allegedly peel and flake evidence. 2 coats can be applied for best results using typical painting application approaches. For a 10 feet x 10 feet basement the sealers will cost about $200 to $300 for a DIY job and near $1000 for a pro to use it.

The simple use of an acrylic paint produces an effective water resistant option, but the drawback is that it will require two thick coats. The expense of the paint ranges from $30 per gallon to over $100 per gallon for paint used by professionals. This is easily a DIY task for those ready to invest some time painting.

If the basement has interior drainage channels along the walls, then plastic sheets and panels will divert water to the drain channels into a holding location where a sump pump will pump it away. The cost will have to do with $1000 and will require an expert installation to install the system. Add $300 to $400 if the drain channels should be made.

Techniques of waterproofing from the exterior of the basement include using mixtures of cement and acrylic polymers and water that form what is referred to as a "cementitious solution" that can be applied to the exterior surface areas by a skilled painter. These "paints" are offered at any hardware or house enhancement shop.

Another more pricey method to water resistant is using foundation membranes made from asphalt that has actually been rubberized and coated to make a water resistant film that fits over the exterior walls. This approach will require a deep excavation to the basement foundation on homes with basements. The membrane product can be bought in rolls that is connected to the basement walls using adhesives or as liquid that is applied with a roller, a trowel or sprayed on.

The advantage of the liquid membrane is that it forms a smooth application that will be able to agreement and expand along with the foundation as the ambient temperature modifications. Membranes will solve the problem of a porous, leaking foundation and will also be a cure for water seepage from a raised patio that may otherwise drain pipes onto the foundation.

The least expensive way to waterproof from the exterior is to be proactive and act prior to any water damage has occurred. Water trying to enter the basement will pass over the pipes and drip through the holes where it is then transported away from the house. The cost for a weeping tile system will depend on the degree of excavation however on average will cost about $300.
