The Importance of Professional Waterproofing Solutions

Waterproofing is not just putting a sealant on a basement wall or placing a dehumidifier in an enclosed space. This is a long term, multi-faceted solution to protect your home from the damaging effects of water infiltration. Water can slowly break down your home’s foundation, damage wood framing, and promote mold growth. This eventually leads to unhealthy indoor air quality and significant health hazards.

Waterproofing can save the structural integrity of your home as it also protects from costly repairs. When you choose our company, you can rest assured that our experts will address every potential entry point for water in your home. Ensuring your property remains safe and secure. From foundation to roof, our techniques and solutions are designed to protect every part of the house.

How BDB Enterprise Prevents Water Damage

Foundation

The foundation of your home is basically the most important structural element. Water penetration in your foundation may bring about critical damage, starting with cracks, shifting, and even collapse in worst cases. We start by assessing your house’s foundation and what exact requirements it has. Our contractors apply high quality waterproofing sealants and coatings to the both exterior and interior sides of the foundation walls. This produces a tight seal that prevents water entry and prevents long term damage.

Basement

Basements are the most vulnerable section of a home to water damage. Since they lie below the ground, it is easy to encounter rainwater, and runoff water associated with heavy storms. Without proper measures, basement can become a haven for moisture in no time, creating mold and mildew, as well as causing structural damage. At BDB Enterprise, we provide both exterior and interior waterproofing solutions, ensuring that your basement stays moisture free.

Exterior protection:

In cases of water infiltration, the area surrounding your home’s foundation is excavated so we can apply waterproof membranes to the exterior walls of your basement. An impermeable barrier is thus created, preventing water from seeping into your basement.

Interior protection:

For houses that do not need exterior waterproofing, we provide interior waterproofing solutions. This includes the installation of a pump and an interior drainage system. These systems collect and redirect water away from your basement before it can cause any damage.

Crack Sealing and Foundation Repair:

The smallest crack found in the basement walls or the basement floors can allow moisture to seep in. We use premium sealants to seal off such cracks and gaps so that water does not penetrate your basement.

Mold Prevention: Why It’s Essential and How we can help you Solve It

Mold is a serious condition that not just damages your home but also poses significant health risks. Mold grows in damp, humid environments. It spreads very fast throughout walls, floors, and ceilings, if left untreated. In addition to causing structural issues, mold exposure leads to respiratory problems like asthma and allergic reactions.

One of the most important aspects related to waterproofing solutions for BDB Enterprise is mold control. By preventing water from entering your home, we ensure that the conditions necessary for mold growth never have the chance to develop. Since the most common origin of mold is water, our comprehensive approach removes all sources of moisture. This is done by waterproofing the basement, foundation and installing proper drainage systems.

Excessive air humidity can also contribute to the multiplication of mold. Our team would recommend an installation of dehumidifiers inside your basement or crawl space. This is to effectively regulate the humidity levels in your indoor areas. Furthermore, small cracks and crevices in your foundation, walls, and flooring can also give rise to the mold issue. BDB Enterprise uses high-quality sealants to close these cracks, effectively stopping water from getting in and preventing mold from spreading.
