Comprehensive Waterproofing Services in Greater Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio

Over time basements may be subject to problems that can arise when portions of your foundation show signs of water intrusion. This is result of hydrostatic pressure that can no longer be ignored. Without a reliable basement waterproofing system, your home is susceptible to water damage from a ”https://www.usstn.com/basement-waterproofing/basement-leak-flooding-repair” leaky basement. This happens because of leaks from cracks in basement walls or water that accumulates underneath your basement floors. This is concern for many homeowners in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio and is the result of living in an area that typically gets regular rain and humid cycles in the weather pattern.

Does Your Home Need Basement Waterproofing?

If you observe one or more frequently seen symptoms, it may be telling you that your basement needs professional attention.

Water Intrusion
Pooling or ponding water in your basement may indicate foundation problems that could be addressed with professional basement waterproofing.

Efflorescence on walls and floors
White, powdery “mineral” appearing deposits on your basement walls and floor, known as efflorescence, can indicate moisture problems that may require professional waterproofing solutions.

Mold and mildew growth
Mold and mildew thrive in damp, dark environments like basements. These harmful growths can cause musty odors, high humidity, serious health problems and damage your home’s structure.
