Why Do You Need Basement Waterproofing & Wall Waterproofing
It often begins with small signs — a damp basement floor, a wet patch on the foundation wall, or a persistent musty smell that only occurs in the basement. These are clear indicators of moisture buildup, often caused by hidden leaks or poor waterproofing. That musty odor usually comes from mold, which thrives in moisture-prone spaces like basements.

This includes both internal waterproofing and exterior solutions to relieve hydrostatic water pressure.

5 Proactive Steps Taken by Waterseal in Basement Wall Waterproofing
Waterseal follows a methodical approach to ensure long-lasting and reliable basement waterproofing. Each step is designed to eliminate existing seepage and prevent future water intrusion during and after new construction.
1. Assessment and Inspection
Waterseal begins by thoroughly inspecting the current condition of the basement walls. This includes checking for visible cracks, mold fitting holes, rod gaps, and construction joints where water intrusion is likely to occur.
2. Surface Preparation
Before any waterproofing chemical is applied, the basement walls are cleaned and prepared. All loose materials such as cement residue, wires, nails, and rod pieces are removed to ensure proper adhesion of the waterproofing layers.
3. Grouting Work and Joint Sealing
We perform grouting using a non-toxic hydraulic cement mix that seals small cracks and holes effectively. To reinforce each grouted joint and mold fitting, PPC Mat is applied for added strength and leakage resistance.
4. Concrete Slab at Wall Base
A strong cement concrete slab is constructed at the base of the exterior walls by clearing debris around the foundation. This helps reduce water accumulation near the basement and provides extra protection to the wall base.
5. Application of Waterproofing Coating
We apply Waterseal PSV waterproofing chemical on both the internal and external sides of the basement walls. A minimum of 3 to 4 coats is applied for optimum protection.

After finishing the basement waterproofing: you should think about ways to stop water from getting in later on.
1. Proper drainage system: Ensuring proper drainage around the foundation is important for basement waterproofing. The soil around the wall of the house should be compacted. Using good quality pipes in the surrounding Drainage lines and waterproofing the sewer chambers also prevents future leakage.
2. Strong Flooring: For durable basement flooring, one option is to first use strong plaster to prevent water from seeping in. Then, you can place blocks, stones, or tiles on top to further protect the foundation from outside moisture.
3. Regular maintenance: It is highly recommended to perform regular maintenance after waterproofing has been completed. This includes checking for any new cracks in the surrounding flooring, ensuring the drainage system is working properly, and immediately repairing any signs of water leakage to prevent water damage to the building.
