We are a locally owned Basement Waterproofing Company based in Gainesville, GA and we understand that discovering water in your basement can be a stressful situation. Once water enters your home, mold, and mildew start to grow. A build-up of water outside your foundation creates hydrostatic pressure that will lead to structural damage. Whether your basement is suffering from standing water, a leaking crack, or high humidity, Tri-State Waterproofing has the answer.
We give our customers peace of mind while we help them solve their water intrusion problems. Our waterproofing specialists are trained and experienced in locating the cause of your wet basement. Our basement waterproofing solutions come with a free transferable lifetime warranty, satisfaction guarantee, and affordable pricing. Financing options are available as well.
As a basement waterproofing company, we listen to the concerns of our customers. There can be many warning signs to indicate water intrusion in a basement. Below is a list of the most common basement waterproofing warning signs that our homeowners have called in as concerns. These are all warning signs that homeowners are able to identify themselves.
Efflorescence is a key warning sign of hydrostatic pressure pushing water through a block wall. Efflorescence is a salt-like reaction that eats through cinderblocks, causing the cinderblock’s structural integrity to deteriorate.
A basement that suffers from a clogged foundation drain, hydrostatic pressure, wall cracks, floor cracks, and more can flood during heavy rains.
A pesky musty smell coming from your basement is a major warning sign of water intrusion. To properly remove the musty smell for good, you need professional waterproofing to ensure no more water intrusion.
A basement is a great place for mold to grow, especially finished basements. Mold can compromise your family’s health and the structural integrity of your home’s foundation when left unattended.
If you have ever noticed a musty smell or foggy windows in your basement, Tri-State Waterproofing can help! We will install a commercial-grade basement dehumidifier that will keep the humidity level below 55%. Our dehumidifier comes with an app that will give you a real-time humidity level.
Installing a basement interior drain system is the most common repair when you find water coming into your home. We do this by installing a trench that is pitched towards a sump pump or gravity feed to discharge the water outside of the home and away from the foundation. A drainage system is placed within the trench to capture water coming from the wall or footing. Once installed the water is directed into our system and discharged away from the home guaranteeing a dry basement.
Exterior Foundation Waterproofing is done from the outside of the home. We start by excavating down to the footing level of the foundation. We then seal the walls and footing with our waterproofing membrane and drainage board. Our drainage board relieves the wall from hydrostatic pressure. Lastly, we install a new foundation drain below the footing to direct the water away from the foundation and backfill to grade level.
Our waterproofing specialist often find that the water issue is a much simpler fix then what the customer thinks. A sewer or waterline leak could be the root of the problem. When a home is being built a plumber usually installs both the sewer and waterline without sealing around the plumbing. This issue takes about an hour to fix and a fraction of the cost a traditional basement repair.
Another cause of water entering your basement could be from cracks on the floor or walls. These foundation cracks show up do to the foundation settling over time. Hydrostatic pressure forces water through these cracks and into your basement. Our waterproofing specialist will inject these cracks completely blanketing the inside of the crack. After having Tri-State Waterproofing come fix your water problem you will receive a transferable lifetime warranty.
