Comprehensive Basement Waterproofing: Testing & Approach

Testing

When we've applied the necessary waterproofing measures, our commitment to ensuring your basement's protection is only half done. We go the extra mile with our post-application testing procedures:

Water Simulation Tests:

We mimic real-life scenarios by introducing water to the treated areas, simulating conditions akin to heavy rain or potential flooding. This gives us a practical understanding of how the waterproofing will perform under duress.

Leak Detection:

Using advanced equipment, we ensure that not even the smallest leaks go undetected. This includes both visible checks as well as using instruments such as Ultrasonic leak detectors, Infrared thermography, and high resolution cameras that can detect moisture in hidden areas.

Pressure Testing:

Some basements may experience water pressure from the surrounding soil, especially during rainy seasons. We test the resistance of our applied materials to such pressures, ensuring they remain impenetrable.

All these tests aim to validate our promise: a watertight basement that stands resilient against nature's challenges.

Aftercare

Your peace of mind remains our priority, even after the job is done. Our aftercare program is designed to support and educate homeowners while ensuring the continued efficacy of our work:

Maintenance Guidelines:

We provide homeowners with a clear set of guidelines to maintain the pristine condition of the waterproofing. This could range from cleaning advice, periodic checks to perform, or precautions during specific seasons.

Periodic Check-ups:

Understanding that no solution is entirely maintenance-free, we offer scheduled check-ups. These aren't just cursory glances; our team performs in-depth evaluations, especially after extreme weather events, to ensure everything remains intact.

24/7 Support:

Unexpected issues can arise. That's why we offer round-the-clock support for any urgent concerns or queries. Whether it's a heavy downpour that's causing anxiety or a noticeable change in your basement, we're just a call away.

Ongoing Education:

As advancements are made in the field of waterproofing, we keep our customers informed. Whether it's a new product that enhances protection or a novel technique that offers better resilience, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge.

Through our diligent aftercare, we aim not just to protect your basement, but to establish a long-lasting relationship built on trust, expertise, and commitment.

High-Resolution Cameras:

We employ cameras capable of delivering crystal-clear images, allowing us to scrutinize every inch of your basement's surfaces.

Infrared Thermography:

This technology allows us to identify disparities in temperatures, which can indicate moisture presence. For instance, water-cooled areas might be a sign of an active leak, while warmer regions could highlight areas with poor insulation.

Ultrasonic Leak Detectors:

These devices can catch the faintest hiss or drip from a hidden leak, using sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear but signify water movement.

Physical Inspections:

Before diving into high-tech solutions, our team begins with a tactile inspection, feeling walls and floors for dampness, looking for telltale signs of moisture such as mold, mildew, or staining.

Experience-Driven Intuition:

Often, it's the accumulated experience of our technicians that plays a pivotal role. We know where leaks are most likely to occur based on the construction and age of a home, the local environment, and other factors.
