While you should make sure that you have a qualified professional handle your waterproofing job, you should have a basic understanding of what is involved with the process so that you can evaluate estimates. 

When the waterproofing process is complete, waterproofing is non-toxic, however, some of the steps involved in the waterproofing process can be dangerous. Professional structure waterproofing contractors use a variety of tools that include the following:

– Waterproof gloves in order to protect the skin from the waterproofing chemicals

– Waterproof paper that is tear-resistant

– Waterproof fabrics that prevent the flow of water and water vapor

– Waterproof electronics for large waterproofing jobs

– Bitumen to allow faster drying of the waterproof

– Durable water repellent to prevent the fabrics from becoming hydro-saturated

– Turbo Seal to ensure that the waterproofing job will last for years to come

– Sand Blaster to remove excess paint

A qualified home waterproofing contractor will have the knowledge and skills to use all of these tools to complete your waterproofing job. 

Basement Waterproofing

Basement waterproofing or foundation waterproofing is extremely important for preventing major issues with your home. When rainwater comes into the home via the basement or foundation, it can quickly lead to problems such as mould and mildew that can be very costly to remove. To repair water seepage in the basement, a foundation waterproofing process should be done by a professional waterproofing service so that your basement is secure.
