Over the last 20 years, there had been a series of technological advances in the construction industry and its adjunct waterproofing services. Mostly, this is more in the use of materials of advanced qualities and sophisticated systems.
All of these have varying costs, degrees of effectiveness, and toned-down invasiveness of the nature of installation. Some are simpler to install, and others need some detailed systems information. The question is: Do you need a waterproof specialist?
Why waterproofing
A concrete building or structure needs waterproofing for the simple reason that the concrete itself is not watertight on its own. A moisture-laden room, caused by water seepage (usually your basement) is a good breeding ground for molds and mildew.
In time, these will cause an additional problem of unpleasant musty odors. Damp areas can also cause faster rusting of your appliances and attacks the wooden surfaces of anything inside that room.
Services
A waterproof consultant’s typical service is a survey and inspection of your problematic area. These can include visual inspections, laboratory testing, investigation and discovery of leaks, measurements in moisture and extent of job requirements, and pricing.
They would also include mapping out your basement, provide drawings and specifications, and highlight the trouble areas. These professionals can easily formulate a repair plan-of-action specific to your needs.
Waterproofing consultants also offer quality control management for your project, if you need it. They can also ensure quality control should you hire an outside contractor for the work. They will see to it your specifications are met.
Also, after the job is done, the waterproof consultant offers follow-up inspections. This will go a long way in averting future damages and save costs.
