Brooklyn residents are familiar with problems caused by heavy rains and volatile water tables. Foundation damage is one of the most common challenges they face due to these environmental and climatic conditions. Any damage to the foundation cannot be taken lightly, as it threatens your home’s stability and health. That’s why checking the foundation for water seepage, structural damage, cracks, and uneven floors is essential. All these visible signs may point to the underlying issue, such as soil expansion and hydrostatic pressure, which must be prioritized and fixed. Otherwise, your basement area will get flooded, and your home will no longer feel safe. How do you address this issue?

At Zicklin Contracting, we offer extensive water restoration services for homeowners so they can live peacefully without worrying about their property’s safety and security. Keep your house’s foundation dry and intact to protect its structural strength and base with our foundation waterproofing Brooklyn services.

Basic foundation waterproofing techniques

Waterproof coatings, wall anchors, and smart jacks are popular ways to waterproof foundations. Wall anchors can stabilize whether the basement walls have cracked or bowed due to soil pressure. It can involve digging to install anchor plates, steel rods, etc. Smart jacks work well with sagging floors. They help lift and stabilize beams and joists in basements. This process starts with a basement or crawl space inspection. Then, we can follow excavation and concrete pouring methods to accommodate jacks for even load distribution. It can be a fantastic solution for sagging floors.

Another helpful way to prevent water damage is by applying waterproofing coatings on the foundation walls. However, the area must first be prepared by removing old paint, coatings, dirt, and debris. Cracks and holes must be plugged. Before waterproof coating, we can also apply primer if required. Waterproof coatings are generally sealants, cement-based coatings, or waterproofing membranes used on the exteriors through a sprayer/ roller/ brush. Multiple layers of the waterproofing coats will go on the walls. However, each layer must be given adequate time to dry. It is an excellent way to provide long-term protection to foundation walls.

Advanced foundation waterproofing techniques

Depending on the foundation waterproofing condition, our technicians at Zicklin will suggest advanced options for better outcomes. If the existing waterproofing system fails to stop water from flowing to the foundation, we can install suitable drainage materials, pipes, and channels to direct water away. We can also install waterproofing membranes when required. Other options, like sump pump installation and crawl space waterproofing, can also be explored to find a perfect remedy to the foundation related problem.
