Basement Waterproofing Solutions

Foundation Waterproofing in Elmwood Park NJ

Skyward Roofing is a basement waterproofing company that provides affordable options to fix basement leaks. We have been helping our clients have safe and dry basements and cellars for decades. Heavy rains can cause drainage issues. When there is more water outside than inside, water can permeate through concrete and rock walls. Seams from where the concrete was poured, and cracks in the walls are also another point of water intrusion. Our basement waterproofing systems prevent basement flooding and reduce moisture and humidity in your home.

How Basement Waterproofing and Exterior Drainage Work Together

Waterproofing your basement for heavy rains starts with evaluating the roof, and gutters. Coating and waterproofing your basement walls is important, but another key element of moisture control is to have proper gutters and a drainage system that moves water away from your building. Skyward Roofing will evaluate your roof and gutters and check for any drainage improvements that can be made. By diverting water away from the foundation, less water needs to be kept out, reducing your chance of a flooded basement and improving basement moisture control.

Basement waterproofing for older homes

New Jersey has many beautiful historical and older homes that have stood the test of time. With our affordable basement waterproofing options, you can make sure they stay in good condition for many decades to come. If you have noticed your older home has a wet basement, or musty smell, then it is probably time for an evaluation from our team. We will check the basement drainage system for standing water, ensure that the gutters aren’t dumping rain near the foundation, and evaluate the condition of the walls.

Once we have made a gameplan, we will go over your options and provide you with a free estimate. Having a dry basement improves the air quality of your home, gives you more usable space, and protects your belongings.

Maintaining Your Waterproofed Basement

After you have received a waterproofing treatment from us, there are a few basement waterproofing maintenance tips you can follow

• Run a dehumidifier: Using a dehumidifer will help remove the moisture in the air that builds up during rainy weather
• Maintain your sump pump: The interior drain, waterproofing, and sump pump all work together to keep water out of your house
• Clean your gutters and downspouts: Gutters and downspouts are essential in preventing basement flooding. Water that sits next to your foundation can build up hydrostatic pressure. We offer monthly maintenance so you never have to worry about your rain gutters again!
