Why Fall is the Perfect Season to Waterproof your Home

Autumn is officially here. The leaves are slowly changing, the air is feeling cooler and it’s about time to start prepping your home for the seasons to come. Fall can either be very rainy or very dry, depending on the year, but wouldn’t you want to be ready for either scenario? Here’s why Fall is a great time to waterproof your home.  

Compared to Spring and Summer, Fall usually brings a little less moisture. If you are waterproofing in the Spring or Summer, it most likely is reactionary instead of proactive. High moisture levels can cause things like mold, wood rot, mildew and allergens. Getting a full waterproofing system installed in time for these seasons will decrease the amount of humidity, water leaks and damage to your basement and crawl space. Waiting until Winter or later and letting water continuously enter the spaces will allow damages to worsen.  

A full waterproofing system can include the following products:  

This is a three-pump system that works to push water away from the home under any circumstances whether it be flooding or a power outage.  

This drainage channel is installed around the perimeter of the basement and will catch any water from the walls and floors and empty it into a sump pump.  

This system is securely attached to the walls of a basement and the walls and floors of a crawl space. The bright white, 7 mil thick covering not only makes the space look clean but will also protect it from water leakage. It allows the water to drain into WaterGuard and not stay stagnant on the walls.
