Water Seepage in Oklahoma
One of the primary concerns for homeowners in Muskogee, OK and he surrounding area is water seepage into their basement. Because Oklahoma has such a high water table, the water is close to the surface and can easily seep into your basement. Water seeping into your home can cause several issues such as:
- Damage to personal possessions
- Mold and mildew growth
- Water stains
- Wall cracks
- Foundation cracks
- High humidity
If your home does not have proper waterproofing, water will find its way into your basement through any opening it can find. Don't let water seeping into your home lead to an even bigger issue. When you have a wet basement, you lose living space and storage. It is also a breeding ground for mold and mildew which can cause health issues to you and your family. Your energy bills will also be higher due to the high humidity that water seepage can cause. Protect your investment. Let the professionals at Pierman Foundation Repair Services inspect your home and offer a solution to your water seepage issues.
Water Seepage Solutions in Oklahoma
The experts at Pierman Foundation Repair Services will inspect your home and offer the best solution for water seepage repair. We have several methods for waterproofing. These include:
Interior waterproofing is done using a sealed drain tile which is installed next to the footing, below the concrete floor. This drain tile system can be used with a wall vapor barrier that directs the water vapor to the drain tile. This keeps the basement free from mole, mildew and soil gases. The drain draws water from under the slab and drains it into a sump pump system. The sump pump expels the water away from the foundation.
Exterior waterproofing stops water from collecting around the
foundation so that it cannot seep into the basement.
Exterior
waterproofing consists of:
- Waterproofing membrane
- dimple drainage board
- 4" perforated drain pipe
- 4" drain pipe fittings
- ECP sump basin
- Combination primary/back-up sump pump
- Sump pump discharge freeze guard
A surface drainage system keeps water from pooling in your yard and around your home. Catch basins and grates are used to protect property against water damage caused by excess rainwater. The catch basins are designed as a collection point for the water runoff. The grates are designed to filter out leaves, sticks and other debris that can clog the drain pipe.
All of the products that Pierman Foundation Repair Services uses for waterproofing are manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the best in the industry.
