Keeping Your Basement Dry Year ‘round

Memories & Moments, Stuff & Things

Our respective basements hold more than just boxes of stuff, junk, and things; they hold some of our most prized possessions, memories, and moments. Most of us (especially those of us whom have children) know that there’s not so much spillover space available when our family grows, or our living situation changes. More often than not, what little spillover space is left is routinely taken up by readily available everyday items. After every closet is stuffed, where does it all go? While your in-laws’ house might be your first thought, most homeowners utilize the space available in their basement, as it’s out of sight from you and visitors, it’s often easily sorted, and it’s a good holding space for both sentimental items and not-so-sure-what-to-do-with-it items. While we highly recommend utilizing your basement in any manner you feel best suits your and your family’s needs, we’ve seen all too many basements fall victim to flooding, mold, and other unsavory situations. If you’re storing irreplaceable heirlooms (or just an overflow of stuff) but are yet to consider basement waterproofing, read on to learn why a waterproof basement is a sound investment.

 

When & Why?

Moving into or building a new home (or new-to-you home) can be exciting and a bit daunting. While we understand there are many other to-do items on your list, we humbly suggest placing basement waterproofing among your top items to complete. Although it might seem like an unnecessary precaution for a rare event, all it takes is one drip from a pipe to release a flood of problems. If you’re building or moving into a home that is yet to be fitted with a waterproof basement, factoring in plans for basement waterproofing are easily arranged and tailor-made for you, your family, and your home’s unique character.

Over our 30 years of providing the Milwaukee area with unbeatable basement waterproofing services, we’ve been asked by a number of clients as to why basement waterproofing is essential. While each homeowner’s reasons are unique, no homeowner’s basement is immune from the threat of flood. Pipes rust and burst. Natural floods bombard our homes. In short, accidents happen — and all too often when we’re planning a trip away from our homes. Each of these reasons has, time and time again, plagued many unprepared homeowners. Don’t get caught off guard; a waterproof basement only adds to your home’s foundational integrity, but saves you precious time, money, and energy when the floods come.
