This is not the sort of picture you want to see when going down into the basement; but for a lot of homeowners, a wet basement is what they are faced with every time it rains. A damp or leaking basement means you can't use this valuable space even for storage. It can cause mold and mildew to grow and spread throughout your home, and it can make selling your home almost impossible as no one wants to buy a house with a wet basement.

If you are looking for a cost effective way to fix this problem yourself, without having to dig up your basement, then Aquaseal's Aqua-Stop or Aqua-Block BB are the products you need. They will make your basement dry and comfortable again, remove that damp smell, and restore your home's value.

EXTERIOR APPLICATION

For new construction or renovation of an existing foundation, installing quality waterproofing is the best way to ensure a dry and comfortable basement. Many contractors still take the cheap route and use damp-proofing, but this type of tar based product is only designed to retard the passage of water through foundation walls - it won't stop the water from going through.

Spending a few extra dollars on waterproofing can save the contractor the expense of call backs and the homeowner the expense and inconvenience of having to fix a wet basement once construction is finished. The liquid rubber waterproofing membranes manufactured by Aquaseal provide a seamless coating on the exterior foundation that will remain flexible and bridge any settlement cracks that might occur, keeping the interior basement dry.
