A basement without waterproofing is like stepping out in the rain without an umbrella. You get wet, your dress gets spoiled, and you don’t feel good. When you don’t opt for necessary waterproofing solutions, you are exposing your property to unnecessary water damage in the long run. Most homeowners in NYC are confused about whether to opt for interior or exterior waterproofing solutions. Don’t worry—we are here to help you out. Our renovators at Zicklin Contracting will tell you what to do. 

 

What Is Exterior Basement Waterproofing?

It is a solution where you need to waterproof the house from the outside. Think of a moat around a castle. Exterior waterproofing is something like that. Here, our experts will dig a trench around the home down to the foundation. They will follow it up by cleaning the foundation. The walls will be cleaned, cracks will be sealed, and a drainage system will be installed to control the situation.

 

  • Advantage

The biggest advantage of this solution is that it safeguards your property from water seepage, especially in the basement. We all know how rainwater and groundwater tend to enter a property through the cracks in the foundation. To prevent this, you need exterior waterproofing.

What is Interior Basement Waterproofing?

This involves waterproofing the basement from the inside. The water leak that takes place in the basement is restricted so that it does not touch the floor. Imagine wearing a raincoat over your dress. It is something similar. This solution involves two steps – a sump pump and a water drainage track. Since the basement interior is waterproofed, the water fails to enter the property and is channeled out through the help of a sump pump. 

  • Advantage

The major advantage of this solution is that it is inexpensive and less disruptive than exterior waterproofing. There is no need to dig up a trench outside the house and damage the landscape in any way. It is an effective way to protect the basement from water seepage around the year. With our tri state waterproofing solutions, you don’t have to worry about anything. Whether you are based in the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, or Staten Island, NY, give us a call; our experts will be there as soon as possible. 

What Is the Difference Between These Two Waterproofing Solutions?

The major difference is that the exterior solution is a preventative measure while the interior waterproofing is a corrective measure. However, you cannot overlook the fact that both these solutions are equally effective in safeguarding your house against water damage throughout the year. 

You can opt for both solutions at once, or depending on the problem that you are facing, you can choose between the two. If you are still confused, then let our experts inspect your property. We will conduct a detailed inspection and provide you with an in-depth report of our findings. Once you check the report, you will have a clear understanding of the prevailing situation.
