Unfortunately, during the 2024 hurricane season, North Carolina experienced tremendous flooding, resulting in heavy rain events. For homeowners, understanding the risks associated with flooding and implementing effective basement waterproofing measures can make a significant difference in protecting their property and ensuring a safe living environment.
Park’s Waterproofing serves dozens of NC communities with guaranteed waterproofing solutions. Protect your property when you rebuild after the floods with our patented, innovative free-flowing basement waterproofing system.
What Is Basement Waterproofing?
Basement waterproofing is the process of making the basement resistant to water intrusion. It is essential for homeowners in flood-prone areas, as a well-waterproofed basement can help prevent water damage and protect the structural integrity of the home. Here are some reasons why basement waterproofing is crucial:
- Prevents Water Damage: Water in the basement can damage personal belongings, appliances and the overall structure of the home. Waterproofing minimizes these risks.
- Reduces Mold Growth: Excess moisture creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew. Waterproofing helps keep the basement dry, reducing the likelihood of mold growth and improving indoor air quality.
- Increases Property Value: A waterproofed basement can enhance the value of your home. It shows potential buyers that you have taken proactive measures to protect the property from water damage.
- Safety and Comfort: A dry basement provides a safe space for storage and living areas, ensuring comfort for homeowners and their families.
The Parks’ Freel-Flowing Waterproofing System
The Parks’ Free-Flowing Waterproofing System is a patented solution that goes beyond simply acting as a barrier against water. Instead, it employs a multi-layered approach designed to effectively direct water away from your foundation and basement walls:
- Waterproofing membrane
- Termite-treated protective insulation board (increases the R-Value of your home)
- A high-quality filter fabric that surrounds the entire system
- 4” wall of washed stone surrounding the perimeter that allows for drainage
- Concrete shelf diverting water from the foundation
- Double French drain (eliminates hydrostatic pressure)
Parks’ Waterproofing stands out as the only waterproofing company in North Carolina that provides maintenance-free solutions in 99% of our custom installations. We do this while ensuring the structural integrity of your foundation and compliance with local codes.
Traditional waterproofing methods often rely on systems such as GFCI outlets, pumps and electricity, which can be unreliable and may trip or fail. Therefore, it is crucial to have a basement that is not dependent on these systems for dryness.
