Exterior Foundation Sealing

After an initial consultation, it might be wise to address the exterior of your home’s foundation.

Damp proofing is what most basements and crawl spaces come with by default but that doesn’t protect your home from actual water leaks. They are rather, designed to keep out soil moisture. Damp proofing is maintained with a special coating sprayed or applied by hand to the outside of your foundation.

Waterproofing costs more but keeps both soil moisture and liquid water like rain out of your basement.

Cement Waterproofing

A cementitious solution to keeping water out is one of the easiest options. It works as a thick coating that can be applied to the exterior foundation. The big downside of this, however, is its lack of flexibility. Since this is a cement solution, you’ll be dealing with the common qualities of cement like stiffness. Any movement to the foundation can cause cracking and render the waterproofing useless. That is why this type of foundation waterproofing is used in warmer and dryer climates which don’t see much expansion and contraction from huge temperature fluctuations.

Foundation Waterproofing Membrane

If cement isn’t an option, you can always opt for a membrane. This option is more costly due to the excavation required but it can also be the most effective solution for a dry basement.

The rubberized asphalt membranes are fitted to the exterior of the foundation below ground and up to the surface. This laminated polyethylene film is unforgiving if not installed correctly, so be sure to consult with a professional.

Exterior Weeping Tiles

Weeping tiles are plastic pipes with punched holes that run along the outside of your home. Water that would otherwise enter your home is collected in these pipes and directed away from the home. The cost to install this system is $100 to $250.

Interior Basement and Foundation Waterproofing

For your interior walls, you have options between concrete coatings, silicate sealers, water repellent paint and vapor barriers which encapsulates your crawl space.

Concrete Waterproofing

An average cost to have a professional interior concrete waterproof can range between $500-$1,000. The cost of labor is more than the coating cost, this is less than other seal methods because there is no need for excavation. Concrete waterproofing is a think permanent coat that keeps the water from entering your basement.

Silicate Concrete Sealers

Silicate sealers perform different then the concrete sealers, silicate penetrate the foundation walls when applied. This happens due to a chemical reaction that occurs inside of the wall which increases the protection of your foundation and is more likely to keep it dry. The silicate sealer is relatively unnoticeable and will not affect the appearance of your walls.
