Is basement waterproofing worth the investment and will it increase my home's value?

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is like giving your home a shield against water damage. It protects your foundation, prevents mold, and keeps your home healthier. Plus, a dry basement is a huge selling point. Many buyers see a waterproofed basement as a big plus, which can boost your home's value. It's not just an expense - it's an investment in your home's future.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

The cost can vary depending on your basement's size and the work needed. Some small fixes might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete waterproofing systems can run into thousands. But remember, the cost of fixing water damage later can be much higher. We always provide a clear, no-surprise quote after our free inspection. Our goal is to find a solution that fits both your needs and your budget.

Do you offer warranties on your waterproofing work?

You bet we do! We stand behind our work 100%. All our waterproofing solutions come with a warranty. The length and coverage can vary based on the work done, but we'll explain all the details before we start. Our warranty gives you peace of mind that your investment is protected.

Can you waterproof an already finished basement?

Yes, we can! It's a bit trickier, but we have ways to waterproof finished basements with minimal disruption. We might need to remove some drywall or flooring to access the walls and floor, but we'll always try to preserve as much of your finished space as possible. After we're done, we'll help you get your basement back in shape.

Will waterproofing my basement prevent mold growth?

Waterproofing is a huge step in preventing mold. By keeping water out and controlling humidity, we make it hard for mold to grow. But remember, mold needs moisture, not just liquid water. That's why we often recommend dehumidifiers as part of a complete waterproofing system. Dry air plus dry walls equals no mold!

Can you fix my basement if it's already flooded?

Absolutely, but let's act fast! First, we'll remove the water and dry out your basement. Then, we'll find out why it flooded and fix the root cause. Finally, we'll set up a waterproofing system to prevent future flooding. We've helped many Columbus homeowners recover from floods and protect their basements for the long term.

What maintenance is required after basement waterproofing?

Good news - our systems are designed to be low-maintenance! But a little care goes a long way. Keep your gutters clean, make sure outdoor drainage slopes away from your house, and check your sump pump regularly. If you have a dehumidifier, clean its filter as directed. We'll give you a complete care guide after we finish the work. And remember, we're always here if you have questions!

What's the best time of year to waterproof a basement?

The truth is, any time is a good time to waterproof your basement. Water doesn't take a vacation! But if you're looking for the ideal time, late spring or early summer can be great. The ground is usually drier, making outdoor work easier. But don't wait if you're having problems - the sooner we can fix water issues, the better for your home.
