If you’ve noticed musty smells, high humidity and inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, moisture in your basement may be the culprit. CHAF offers comprehensive basement waterproofing services to ensure that your home is clean and dry.
Moisture can foster mold and rot, provide a nice habitat for bugs, and create a humid, musty smell that seeps through your home. Moisture may be caused by a number of factors, including cracks in basement walls, naturally moist soil, poor drainage, or high humidity levels producing condensation on basement surfaces.
There are two major types of basement waterproofing solutions, external and internal.
Methods of internal waterproofing which include:
- Filling in any cracks or gaps in the walls
- Installing a dehumidifier system
- Painting basement walls with a waterproof paint
