Looking for a way to help minimize and prevent basement water and foundation problems? Consider us for your waterproofing needs for your new construction home! Our new construction services include a variety of waterproofing products to fit your needs and budget.
New construction projects are exciting, but they can also be overwhelming. There are so many factors to think about when building a new home, you may forget about things like foundation waterproofing. Installing waterproofing products in your new construction home can help you steer clear of basement moisture in the future. Waterproofing during construction will potentially save you from the cost and headache that can come from repairing severe water damage.
Waterproofing Solutions for New Construction:
- Waterproofing Membrane: A tough, resilient membrane applied to foundation walls with the durability of asphalt and the elasticity of rubber. It protects your foundation against water seepage in your basement.
- Drainage board: Helps insulate basement walls and steer water toward a drainage system instead of into foundation walls.
- Exterior Drainage Systems: Keeps water away from the house before it can get to the basement walls. An exterior drainage system like a french drain uses a gravel-filled trench and a perforated pipe to guide water away, usually toward the street or a drainage ditch.
- Strip Drain Products: An alternative to traditional drain tile and gravel systems that work together with the waterproofing membrane and drainage board system.
A little more about the products we use:
To ensure the lowest risk of a wet basement, Jerry’s Waterproofing uses only the best waterproofing products. We offer a wide variety of Tremco® products like the Watchdog® waterproofing membrane and the TUFF-N-DRI® system. These are designed for year-round, long-term protection
Watchdog® is a waterproofing product designed specifically for poured concrete foundations. It features a flexible, polymer-enhanced spray-on waterproofing membrane to seamlessly bridge foundation-settling cracks.
Tremco’s TUFF-N-DRI® system has been keeping basements leak-free since 1983. Tuff-N-DRI® is the only basement waterproofing system with a performance that exceeds its performance warranty. The secret is a unique system that combines an elastic membrane with a high-quality foundation board.
Depending on the location and slope of your property, some additional waterproofing measures may need to be taken to ensure a dry and healthy home for years to come.
Consider the addition of a Sump Pump
Sump pumps are an effective way to help prevent your basement from flooding during seasons of heavy rain by pumping water away from your foundation. The sump pump takes the water that is collected by the interior and exterior drainage system and pumps it away from your foundation. We offer a variety of different models to fit your home’s needs, as well as battery backup sump pump systems.
