We understand that discovering puddled spots or soggy spots in your carpet are the last things you want to find in your basement. Athens, GA can experience cruel thunderstorms and heavy rain that leaves your basement wet, musty, and humid. That’s why we specialize in Basement Waterproofing-so you never have to worry about another heavy rain leaving your basement wet!
Have you tried everything to get rid of the musty smell in your basement, and it just won’t go away? You need a dehumidifier.
A musty smell is caused by the presence of mold or mildew from either water intrusion or very high humidity. Installing a basement dehumidifier will eliminate the high moisture content in the air and get rid of the musty smell for good.
Puddling water or soggy spots in your basement’s carpet are key signs of water entry. You need a Basement Interior Drain System (BID). This dry basement solution will redirect and carry any intruding water out and away from your home’s foundation. Any entering water is caught behind a protective layer called Vapor Barrier and redirected into a drain system. It will then end up in a basin where a sump pump will discharge the water away from your 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 specialists often find that the water issue is a much simpler fix than what the customer thinks. A Sewer or Water Line Leak could be the root of the problem. When a home is being built a plumber usually installs both the sewer and water line without sealing around the plumbing. This issue takes about an hour to fix and a fraction of the cost of a traditional basement repair. A key indicator of a sewer or water line leak will be orange streaks underneath the leaking pipe.
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.
