Nashville, Murfreesboro, Knoxville and Chattanooga TN
A leaky house always spells some sort of disaster, whether it happens at the foundation or on the roof. Add a basement into the mix, and water damage seems to become almost a given. It’s why so many basements smell musty.
Waterproofing your basement with our moisture control specialists in Murfreesboro can protect it from leaks and floods that can otherwise cause heavy structural damage and leave you with enormous repair costs. Our professionals recommend waterproofing your basement for the following reasons:
It increases energy efficiency
Waterproofing helps keep the temperature inside your home comfortable, keeping warm air in during the winter and out during the summer. Because it results in less stress on your HVAC, your heating and cooling bills should look a little leaner while your home’s occupants feel more comfortable. What’s more: energy efficiency gained through waterproofing adds value to your home.
It strengthens your home’s foundation
Waterproofing the foundation of your home will prevent water from seeping into the house, creating cracks in the basement and your home’s foundation. When water finds its way into these cracks, it can corrupt construction materials, threatening the structural integrity of your home.
It prevents health issues
With unchecked dampness and moisture comes mold and mildew, which can spell big trouble for people who suffer from respiratory issues like allergies and asthma. Moisture in an underground space also creates a breeding ground for pests. If an infestation occurs, it could be dangerous to the health of your home’s occupants.
It improves your basement’s functionality
Waterproofing your basement will improve the climate of the space, making it more usable. If you’re thinking of turning the basement into a living space, game room or theatre — or if you plan to use it for entertaining and/or family gatherings — our moisture control experts in the Nashville area strongly recommend waterproofing.
