Do I need water proofing?

If you have water in your basement you need water proofing. Water in your basement can cause harmful mold and mildew to grow. Water leaks can cause serious damage to your homes structure. Most basement leaks occur through the joint where the wall and the floor meet. It is rare that a leak will come up through the floor.  Water pressure builds up and forms a pocket around the foundation resulting in hydrostatic pressure. This pressure forces water to seep through the joint. Our Waterproofing system has the ability to stop moisture penetration through a wall under water pressure. The primary use of waterproofing products is to waterproof concrete and block masonry basements above and below the grade line. JJ’s Services waterproofing uses the thickest sprayer applied membranes that are tried and tested under the most extreme conditions. Waterproofing your basement will help you to keep a dry basement and save time and money in the future.
