Don’t Let Water Stagnation Ruin Your Vacation

Keep Your Basement Dry While You’re Away

Those of us who’ve lived in Wisconsin for several years (or have had the pleasure of visiting during the winter months) know the challenges associated with traversing and dealing with the snow — and the human-made, roadside mountains piled high with the stuff that last well into spring. While we clamor for warmer climes and begin to plan our spring and summer vacations, our basements are quite literally soaking up the warming, humid air. Flush with additional moisture, our Milwaukee area basements are becoming optimal hosts for mold and water damage. While we’ve outlined the potentially devastating effects mold can have on our basements with some brevity, the importance of waterproofing basement baseboards, walls, and floors shouldn’t be overlooked in the excitement of vacation planning. Curious about the best approach to ensuring your home is kept dry and safe while you’re away? Keep reading to learn more about Zablocki Waterproofing’s client-focused approach to waterproofing basement walls, basement leak repair, and foundation waterproofing services.

 

Your Travel Logistics and Your Home’s Foundation, Both Sealed Shut

We’d be hard-pressed to find a Wisconsinite who hasn’t at least dreamt of escaping the white-washed hills, plains, and shores of the Third Coast during winter. But before you click “book” on your winter escape, consider the ramifications of not waterproofing basement components; once a basement has flooded, it’s always best to seek immediate, professional wet basement solutions services to mitigate any further (and potentially irreparable) damages. While this may sound like common sense, it can be a bit difficult to recognize and react immediately to a flood basement — let alone contact foundation contractors or basement leak repair professionals from far-flung destinations. Just as you consider selecting travel insurance or ticket protection for your vacation, choosing basement waterproofing services prior to your trip not only adds peace of mind that is invaluable during our trips out of the city, state, or country. Curious about the services we offer at Zablocki Waterproofing? Give us a call to learn more about how Zablocki’s basement waterproofing services can help make your next vacation one of the most care-free escapes in recent memory.

 

Scope it Out: Give Your Basement a Once-Over Before Taking Off

While we’re proud of the keen sense of tracking down linchpins for potential water damage or flooding spots we’ve developed over our 25 years of basement waterproofing services, there are a few signs of disrepair for which you can look prior to deciding which basement waterproofing or foundation waterproofing service(s) best meet(s) your needs. These potentially harmful signs include, but are not limited to:

• Damp or “sweating” walls
• Cracked walls or crumbling sheetrock
• Chipping or splintering wood surfaces, especially around window sills and linings

If any of these conditions are manifesting themselves in your basement, don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation, schedule an assessment, or learn more about how we at Zablocki can help keep your basement leak- and stress-free.

 

Don’t Neglect Your Basement

We know it can be easy to forget about our basements’ cleanliness, maintenance, and tidiness. Let’s be honest: if we don’t frequent our basements for reasons other than grabbing the one or two odd items, the thought of spending more time in an unfinished basement isn’t always the first choice for a night in. Moreover, families across the Milwaukee area are recognizing the benefits of a finished basement, which affords you and your family additional defense against water damage, mold, and unsavory air quality. Wondering just how Zablocki Waterproofing can assist in keeping your home high and dry?
