Expert Foundation Waterproofing Services for Your Home

Here are key signs that your Neptune basement is crying out for waterproofing:

• Damp or Musty Odors: A persistent musty smell, especially in the basement or lower levels, often indicates moisture intrusion.

• Water Stains: Look for water stains on basement walls, floors, or ceilings. These stains may appear as dark patches, tide lines, or discoloration.

• Efflorescence: This is a white, powdery substance that appears on concrete or brick walls. It's caused by water seeping through the wall and depositing mineral salts on the surface as it evaporates.

• Mold or Mildew Growth: Moisture creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Look for visible mold growth on walls, floors, or ceilings, or a mildewy smell.

• Peeling Paint or Wallpaper: Moisture behind paint or wallpaper can cause it to peel, bubble, or blister.

• Rusting: Metal fixtures, pipes, or appliances in the basement may show signs of rust due to excessive moisture.

• Cracked or Crumbling Foundation Walls: Water can seep into cracks in the foundation walls and freeze, causing them to expand and contract, which can lead to further damage.

• Basement Leaks: Obvious puddles or trickles of water on the basement floor are a clear indication of water intrusion.

• Condensation: Excessive condensation on basement walls or windows can be a sign of high humidity levels due to water seepage.

• Warped or Buckling Floors: If you have a basement floor, dampness below it may cause the floor to warp.

• Insect Infestations: Many insects, like subterranean termites, oriental cockroaches, earwigs, spiders, camel crickets A.K.A. cave crickets, booklice, minute brown scavenger beetles, sowbugs and pill bugs, millipedes, centipedes and silverfish, are attracted to damp environments. An increase in insect activity in your basement can indicate a moisture problem.

​

• Signs Outside Your Home:

• Cracks in the Foundation: Inspect the exterior foundation walls for cracks, especially horizontal or stair-step cracks.

• Settling or Sinking Foundation: If you notice that your house is settling or sinking, it could be due to water damage and soil erosion around the foundation. This can be seen by doors or windows not opening or closing correctly.

• Poor Drainage: Check the grading around your house to ensure proper drainage. The ground should slope away from the foundation to direct water away from it. If the ground slopes towards the house, water can pool around the foundation.

• Clogged Gutters and Downspouts: Overflowing gutters and downspouts can cause water to run down the foundation walls.

• Damaged or Missing Downspout Extensions: Downspout extensions are designed to carry water away from the foundation. If they're missing or damaged, water may accumulate around the base of your house.

• Standing Water: Look for areas where water tends to pool near the foundation after rainfall.

• Erosion: Check for signs of soil erosion around the foundation, as this can increase the foundation's exposure to water.

• Vegetation Growth: Excessive moss or algae growth on the foundation walls can indicate persistent dampness.

• Spalling Concrete: This is when the surface of the concrete flakes, peels, or crumbles off. It's often caused by water penetration and freeze-thaw cycles.

​

• Other Indicators:

• High Humidity Levels: A consistently high humidity level in your basement, even without visible signs of water damage, can suggest a moisture problem. A dehumidifier constantly running is a sign to look into it.

• Health Issues: Persistent respiratory problems or allergies can be exacerbated by the growth of mold and mildew, which is often caused by water intrusion.
