With signs of autumn rapidly approaching already, it's important to think about the things that you need to get done around your house before cold weather hits. In the Kansas City area of Missouri, this means protecting your home from the harsh winter elements. Now is the time to start thinking about waterproofing so that you can get a system in place before winter.
Why Waterproof Before Winter in MO?
If you've had dampness, mold, or even flooding in your home during the recent heavy rains this summer, it may be a sign that your home lacks proper waterproofing. More rain is forecasted for this week. Be sure to examine your home and see if there are any entry points where water is coming inside. The reason you'll want to take care of this issue before winter is that winter weather can make water problems even worse. If the cold weather causes your foundation to crack or shift at all, it can make your home more susceptible to water entry. Also, changes in the temperature during or after winter cause quick snow and ice melt. This can oversaturate the ground around your home, causing some of that water to seep inside.
Interior Waterproofing Solutions for Missouri Homes
We Have a Variety of Interior Waterproofing Solutions that can help with any sort of water issue that you're having. Find your problem and the appropriate solution below and call our team for more specific recommendations:
- Mold and Mildew: If you have mold and mildew in your crawlspace, encapsulation services can help. However, this problem may also need further waterproofing to remove the root cause of the dampness.
- Water Seepage and Cracks: We can fix foundation cracks with either foundation repair methods (for more serious cases), or crack injection (used post-repair or for smaller, hairline, non-structural cracks). This should help keep water out, but surface drainage and interior waterproofing can add extra protection.
- Flooding in Home or Basement: If you have serious flooding in your basement, you may have a sump pump issue (or maybe you don't have a sump pump!). We can help with sump pump installation and repair.
- High Humidity and Dampness: If your basement or home is particularly high in humidity, we can utilize encapsulation (for crawlspaces), or interior waterproofing with drainage channels and pipes to keep moisture out and keep your home dry.
Feel free to give us a call for more information, or fill out the form on our website. We look forward to working with you to keep your home safe with interior waterproofing before winter comes!
