Basement Waterproofing

The New Jersey, New York area has a notoriously high water table. Though it may not be immediately apparent to homeowners, groundwater is constantly shifting below their foundation. When there is significant rain the water table rises and exerts pressure on your foundation. This pressure – known as hydrostatic pressure – will force water to seep into your basement via any seams, cracks, crevices, or pores.

Basement waterproofing is the only way to permanently relieve hydrostatic pressure and stop basement flooding due to groundwater.

The Benefits Of Basement Waterproofing

Arid's basement waterproofing service will do more than just help you sleep easier at night. Having a waterproofed basement will allow you to reclaim more livable space, increase your house's resale value, and prevent the harmful effects of mold on your family.

When Arid Basement Waterproofing installs a French drain in your basement, you will sleep easier at night not having to worry about what you might find in the basement after a storm. But the benefits of basement waterproofing do not stop there.

How Water Penetrates Your Foundation

Because of its below-grade position, basements are vulnerable to water seepage. Water intrusion through the foundation is perhaps the single biggest complaint voiced by homeowners about their basement.

When the groundwater levels outside the basement rise above the level of the floor, the basement acts like a boat in a pond. If a boat is sitting in water, water will leak in through any open cracks or holes. It works the same way with a basement. Hydrostatic pressure can even push water through hairline cracks.
