Injection waterproofing is products that are used
mainly for foundation crack repairs. Many home
improvement stores nationwide carry non-toxic and
environmentally safe products to use for this
purpose. The material most often used, is made
from a polyurethane compound. It is lightweight
and expands to many times its original size when
injected and exposed to the atmosphere. These
products are available in easy to use container /
applicators. All of these waterproofing products
work best if the area is clean and dry when you are
applying them. If continuous water flow is a
problem, you can use modeling clay or better yet,
plumbers putty to temporarily seal the crack while
you inject the injection waterproofing.
To create a dry basement out of your wet one, you
will need to inject waterproofing into all the cracks
and holes you can locate. This means servicing
the spaces around the pipes that enter or exit your
basement through the walls and floor. This is not
the best cure for a wet basement, it is just the
simplest, quickest and least expensive. The best
process involves many steps and can be costly. In
short, locate the source and cause of your wet
basement, redirect the water, seal the foundation
with concrete waterproofing and dry it out. These
are the basic steps of waterproofing. You may
choose to use the injection waterproofing to get
you through to the dry season then do the full
program.
Even when sealing the outer surface of your
basement concrete walls it is a good plan to use
injection waterproofing to seal the cracks and
holes. Injection waterproofing is easily a
do-it-yourself project. Not only are you rejecting
the ground water but you also will be making it
harder for radon gas to enter your home. A dry
basement is not likely to grow mould and so is a
healthier environment for you and your family.
Keep it dry and enjoy your basement.
