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.
