Download or read book Waterproofing Basement written by Norbert Quest and published by . This book was released on 2011-12-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information on the typical costs of waterproofing a basement yourself and the steps it takes to complete this task.There are many ways to waterproof a basement. Waterproofing methods generally fall into three main categories or systems. Your first option is the barrier system. Barrier systems work by preventing moisture, condensation or water from invading your basement walls and flooring. A barrier system can be placed on the exterior of your home (the foundation of the house, where water can seep into the basement) or on the interior of the basement (walls, flooring, and wall joint). Your second option is a diversion system. A diversion system, as the name implies, collects and diverts water away from the affected area. Sump pumps are a prime example of an effective diversion system for basements. Water accumulates in a cavity known as the sump pit and a high-powered pump collects and diverts the water away from the basement. This is an excellent choice if your basement experiences heavy flooding during the rainy season. Your third option is a drainage system. Drainage systems are often used in conjunction with diversion systems. Drainage tiles and solid membranes are examples of drainage systems. A drainage system has two main functions: to separate the rest of the basement from the seeping water or moisture and to collect and transport the water to the basement drain.
