Exterior waterproofing
takes place outside your house. The main aim of this method is to ensure that all the water is blocked or prevented from finding their way into the basement.
It is achieved by the use of coatings to coat exterior walls with a waterproof coat as well using drainage outside the house. Since the leading cause of a wet basement is the exterior of the house, a simple sealing process might not work. But this process is a significant undertaking that needs tools and even heavy machinery to have the work done.
The soil around your home will be excavated then after that you will need to apply a waterproof sealant to the outside walls. Such a considerable undertaking will require the services of an expert to oversee all this work.
When you are identifying the type of a sealant, keep in mind that the sealant must have the same lifespan as that of your property to make it useful. Such sealant can be even a polymer base. It will even work well if the exterior waterproofing services are done during the construction process of your property.
Have gutters installed properly during construction time and let the gutters direct rainwater away from the foundation.
