Most homeowners consider the option of basement remodeling to increase their home value. Rarely does waterproofing make it to the list. It’s a common trait among people to focus on the beauty of the space. While increasing your basement’s aesthetic appeal also helps with ROI, waterproofing is the way to maintain its charm and functionality optimally. Brooklyn is already known for heavy rainfall and the associated flooding risks. You make a blunder if you don’t work on your basement’s safety from water damage. Do you want to waterproof your basement? The Zicklin Contracting team will help you out in this. Our water restoration and general contracting services are tailor-made for Brooklyn and other parts of New York. You can rely on us for critical home improvement and repair projects.

Basement waterproofing benefits

Everyone wonders if they should spend money on waterproofing the basement without understanding its utility. A basement without waterproofing can lose structural strength, develop mold issues, and more. Even minor problems can spiral out and become a concern, causing you to seek emergency services for basement waterproofing Brooklyn, NY. Although our family-run business, Zicklin Contracting, is there to help, allowing the situation to worsen is not good. Sometimes, damages get out of control, hitting your basement’s functionality hard. The unsightly mold and mildew growth on the walls can ruin everything in the basement. Even your health can be at risk.

A waterproofed basement can be reimagined as a game room, gym, bedroom, entertainment room, etc. However, this will be a lost opportunity. If you plan to resell your property, new buyers can either ignore your offer or strongly negotiate. Do you wish to avoid all these unpleasant scenarios? Waterproof your basement. We can fix the flooding and dampness issues in the basement with innovative waterproofing solutions.

Basement waterproofing methods

Waterproofing work can be done inside and outside the basement. Interior waterproofing methods include installing French drains, sump pumps, and vapor barriers. French drainpipes collect groundwater and channel it away from the basement. Sump pumps help remove water. Vapor barriers protect the basement’s indoor environment from wall, flooring, and ceiling moisture. We also provide crack repair and dehumidification services.

On the other side, exterior basement waterproofing can involve grading, French drain and membrane system installation, guttering, etc. French drains on the outside of the basement walls keep water away from them. We can also create a gentle slope near the walls to direct the water flow downhill. Downspouts and gutters safeguard the basement from rainwater damage. Likewise, exterior membranes on the basement allow the walls to breathe and stay dry.
