Why is Foundation Waterproofing important?
Building codes in most areas mandate waterproofing for structures that are constructed at or below ground level. When there is a high water table or a likelihood that groundwater will build up in the soil, waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially crucial.
Under basement walls and floors, hydrostatic pressure is generated by water in the soil. This hydrostatic pressure has the potential to force water into fractures, leading to serious structural damage, mold growth, wood degradation, and other moisture-related issues.
