Three Signs You Need Basement Waterproofing Services

Water damage is a major concern for any homeowner, and moisture problems need to be constantly fought against. To help you protect your home from the damage excess moisture can do, our team at Dogwood Crawlspaces offers basement waterproofing services. In this article, we will go over three signs you need our basement waterproofing services—if you notice any of the following happening to your home, we encourage you to give us a call.

1.Puddles – One clear indicator you need basement waterproofing is the presence of puddles on your basement floor. This is an unmistakable sign that water isn’t draining correctly, and you need to take steps to address the issue. Our waterproofing experts can help you protect your basement walls and floor from the damaging effects of water, and we can help you identify and correct the source of the problem.

2.Condensation – When trying to figure out whether you need basement waterproofing services, check the basement windows for condensation. If the windows are foggy or have visible beads of moisture, then you should get your basement waterproofed—condensation is an early sign of moisture issues, and the problem will only get worse if you don’t act soon.

3.Damp Odors – Even if there are no visible signs of moisture problems in your basement, if the air smells damp or musty, we encourage you to schedule basement waterproofing services. Your nose is very good at detecting water and mold, and you will likely smell these impending issues long before they become obvious to your eyes.

What Our Clients say

“Guys did a tremendous job. Moisture was significant. Got it dried out, cleaned, and new insulation installed with vapor barrier. No one enjoys spending money on an area that you don’t live in but I thought it was fairly priced for the work that was done. Highly recommend. Pics are the before and after.”

Mike E.

“Thomas was great to work with and does super quality work using the best materials. I looked into a lot of other crawlspace vapor barrier and encapsulation companies and Dogwood Crawlspaces was the best that I found and at a reasonable price too. Thanks Thomas for giving my wife and I great peace of mind with a really nice sealed crawlspace and Aprilaire whole house dehumidifier. You’re awesome!”
