Too much water or moisture in your basement can spell disaster, leading to mold growth, termites, and wood rot. That’s why we provide expert basement waterproofing customized to the needs of your home.
We use an interior waterproofing system that captures and removes any water entering your basement. Interior waterproofing is effective and doesn’t require exterior soil excavation around your foundation, making it less invasive and expensive.
How Interior Waterproofing Works
To waterproof your basement:
The completed waterproofing system keeps your West Hempstead home permanently safe and dry.
Like basements, without protection, crawl spaces can become a moisture-ridden mess full of mold, rot, and pests. We use the same interior waterproofing system to protect your West Hempstead crawl space.
This includes installing a french drain perimeter system with a sump pump and discharge line. Keeping moisture out of your crawl space can prevent mold and rot from developing and even protect your upstairs.
The stack effect, also called the chimney effect, results from temperature and air pressure differences between your crawl space and the rest of your home. The cool air in your crawl space rises as it warms, making its way upstairs.
This creates a vacuum in the crawl space, pulling in additional cold outside air, and the cycle continues. By waterproofing your crawl space, you keep mold and mold spores out of your crawl space, which means they won’t be traveling upstairs into the rest of your West Hempstead home.
If you see cracks along your foundation walls, you may have a problem. Vertical wall cracks are the normal result of concrete shrinking as it ages and usually do not indicate a foundation issue. Buy horizontal cracks are another story.
Horizontal cracks on your foundation wall are the result of external pressure. When it rains, the soil surrounding your home can become full of water, expanding out and putting pressure on your basement wall. Also, during winter months, the freezing and thawing of the soil can cause pressure on your basement walls.
The result is your foundation walls can begin to bow inwards. Over time, this bowing can worsen, and the walls will eventually be at risk of collapse.
But if caught early enough, your foundation walls can be repaired before you face the costly burden of replacing the foundation.
ACM installs carbon fiber straps along your bowing basement walls. The straps adhere to the wall and are stronger than steel. The straps keep the wall in place and prevent any further bowing. The straps provide a reliable, long-lasting solution for your West Hempstead home.
Myth: West Hempstead basements just get wet sometimes, it’s normal. Reality: Water damage compounds exponentially and destroys home value.
