Waterproofing: how does it work?
A foundation is considered to be an essential component of a property’s architectural structure. This part also ensures proper mass and weight distribution of your house.
Sadly, foundation waterproofing for newer houses is nowadays often overlooked by construction workers. They simply apply tar, an economical solution for short-term protection that’s not immune to foundation cracks or damage over time, in addition to not offering optimal protection against water and moisture.
Environment surrounding your foundations
The type of terrain surrounding your property naturally contains water and humidity. Both these elements will have a mid-term and long term impact on your foundation’s water resistance. Adequate landscaping will ensure proper draining of rainwater and snow melt.
Your house may be situated near a groundwater table or a flood-risk area, both conditions being favourable to your land being engorge. Therefore, in order to keep your house dry, it is mandatory to protect your foundation walls in function of the various aspects that make up your land.
