The Ambassador is an 83 year old unsealed brick building that is on the National Historic Register. In the past two years, Rock Solid Waterproofing has worked with the Board of Directors and myself, the Building Manager, to resolve several ongoing water issues. During this time, Rock Solid Waterproofing is classified as an essential service and we remain open for business.
Not only can it damage your foundation, but a wet basement can become a breeding ground for potentially dangerous mold. If you have a finished basement, even small amounts of water can rot away all the money and hard work you invested. Here in the Pacific Northwest, areas like Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, see some of the highest annual rainfall of anywhere in the country. With all the water that falls on and around your home, it's important to make sure your basement stays dry. Other basement waterproofing services may only focus on keeping out the water you can see.
Unfortunately, crawl spaces (especially those with unfinished soil floors) don't get much attention from homeowners. Most people just don't enter their crawl spaces that often. This makes a crawl space a place where it's easy for large and small leaks to "hide." Without regular crawl space inspections, any amount of water can do serious damage to your home. Cracks in the foundation, rusting metal from concrete form anchors, and cold joints where the vertical wall sits on the footer can all allow water to enter and accumulate in your crawl space.
Did you know: The Portland and Vancouver metro areas see over 150 days of rainy weather every year! Over time, this consistent misty rain can wreak havoc on your beautiful deck, balcony, or patio. Without proper care and waterproofing, it may need serious repairs (or even need to be replaced) after as little as 5-10 years. At Rock Solid Waterproofing, our deck waterproofing contractors here to help. We work with homeowners and commercial property owners to waterproof and resurface balconies, decks, and patios throughout Portland, OR and Vancouver WA, as well as the surrounding communities.
Don't let your basement space be a waste of space. If you're only using your basement for storage, think about transforming it into a beautiful, functional, livable space you'll love. Families in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington (and the surrounding areas) are all too aware of the long rainy season. They know that it's important to maximize the living space their home can provide. Interior basement floor treatments are not just durable and resistant floor sealants. They're also a great way to transform a drab basement into a room you'll love and want to enjoy.
Cracks can lead to leaks and mold, but if your basement walls are unfinished, it's also just plain ugly. As a homeowner, keeping an eye out for cracks can save you a lot of time and hassle. If a crack is left unchecked, it can spread and even lead to bad leaks. The good news is that this foundation repair is not a long or difficult process. There are a number of different reasons for why you may need help with a foundation repair. Sometimes cracks will happen during the initial pouring, through no fault of the builder.
