Do you frequently deal with wetness problems in the basement of your Yonkers residence? Finding any section of your home in distress can be annoying and heartbreaking. We all know that damp basements create unhealthy living conditions. If the issue is left untreated, the entire structure of your apartment will be at risk. Structural integrity will be threatened by frequent dampness. Is there a way to tackle this situation? Basements suffer from wetness due to poor grading, interior leaks, cracks in the foundation, improper subsurface drainage systems, and more. One must identify the root cause of the problem before fixing the basement’s waterproofing systems. If you face water seepage or flooding problems in your Yonkers home basement, contact your local basement waterproofing specialists at Zicklin Contracting.

With more than 20 years of experience, our Zicklin team can fix any wet basement issue with its cutting-edge solutions. Typically, most service providers follow three types of approaches for basement waterproofing Yonkers.

Waterproofing a basement

Flooding, water leaks, and seepage issues can ruin your basement’s ability to serve as an extended living or storage area due to mold growth and foul smell. Indoor air quality and structural strength will also be compromised. While there is no cookie-cutter approach to basement waterproofing needs, the solution often depends on the underlying cause. We analyze them and tailor a proper method accordingly. Our approach can include the following processes:

  • Interior waterproofing solutions

Installing French drains and vapor barriers inside the property efficiently handles basement leaks, adding an extra protective layer to the structure. Epoxy injections can also stop water seepage from cracked walls and floors.

  • Exterior waterproofing solutions

Water can get into the basement and cause flooding due to flaws in the foundation. A straightforward example is foundation cracks, which develop over time because of continuous exposure to high temperatures, settling, and substandard construction. Poor grading can also cause water pooling in the basement. Depending on the issue, our experts can recommend suitable exterior waterproofing measures, such as installing a French drain, coating the wall exteriors, etc.

  • Drainage structure

Soil drains and a sump pump can be installed to divert rainwater or groundwater from the foundation and prevent water pooling in the basement.
