Aqua-Guard Waterproofing

In a perfect world, exterior footing drains would function properly for the life of your home and water would be efficiently diverted away from your foundation. We don't live in a perfect world though which means you are likely to experience the negative effects of water creeping into your basement or crawlspace at some point down the road. With as many as 1 in 50 homeowners filing a water damage claim, it only makes sense to be proactive in keeping your home dry. Too many homeowners ignore the signs of water damage in their basements or crawlspaces and then suffer the consequences.

When it comes to protecting your home from further water damage, you need to work with a waterproofing expert that takes a personal approach and provides complete water problem solutions. Our system solves all 5 areas water can enter your foundation. So many times one area of leakage is addressed but leaves another unresolved. Your water problems will continue to occur and in many instances get must worse, until all the issues are properly addressed. We take all factors into account and make sure your water problems are solved permanently.

The exterior waterproofing systems installed around your foundation will inevitably fail, allowing ground water to put pressure on the walls and floor of your foundation. Once this occurs, your basement or crawlspace will begin to allow water to leak through. If this scenario becomes a reality for you, rain will no longer be your friend. When you see a heavy rain coming, it's only a matter of time before you'll have to get the towels, mop and shop vac to start bailing water out of the basement. Your water problem will continue to occur, and in many instances get much worse, until it is properly addressed.

Once the Aqua-Guard Crawlspace System has eliminated the water that was penetrating your home's foundation, the next step toward securing a healthy home is crawlspace encapsulation. This seals off the crawlspace to all outside elements and brings the relative humidity level down. Crawlspace encapsulation creates an environment where mold, mildew and fungi cannot grow. For years, the perceived solution to a damp crawl space was to vent it-allowing outside air to come in. Venting to the outside can actually make the problem worse (especially during the hot, humid summers in the Southeastern U.S.).
