Basement Waterproofing in Prince George’s County
Water proofing a basement is always an outside to inside process. The true source of water damage begins on the exterior of the home at the foundation and works its way inside.
This common problem in many older homes causes issues that have a lasting impact on the quality and structure of the building. Just dealing with water from the inside with the use of sump pumps and wall patching is a water management process and not water proofing. We have seen many home owners purchase a water management process only to be disappointed that their home continues to seep water. Only by dealing with the exterior source of the water can a long lasting solution be created. At MTaylor Enterprise , our process first starts with an inspection of the property by a trained contractor who has experience correcting these issues. Our workers are also our sales people. We think an informed and experienced sales person is the best person to identify the issues and recommend a solution.
During the inspection we look for noticeable sources of water including negative drainage, outdoor down spouts that might be missing, and other visual sources of damage caused by running and flowing water.
We commonly advise that waterproofing a basement can only be effectively handled from the outside of the building. We strongly recommend exterior drainage improvements along with inside systems to effectively decrease water pump cycling.
