When water meets basement, the entirety of the space and all the contents you store within it are – unfortunately – compromised. A leaky basement can devalue an entire property by thousands of dollars (in the case of hugh industrial buildings storing valuable gear in the basement, times those thousands by tens…even hundreds). Oh, and lest we forget: moisture build up indoors is mould’s favorite spot to spawn. Spores are grown in the basement and eventually sent sailing throughout the whole building, causing unbearable smells and – occasionally – health issues.
In order to restore your basement’s integrity, you’ll need a team of professional Wellington waterproofing experts to assess the damage and act on it. Construction chemicals are remarkable things: ever-reliable Tritoflex is remarkably designed to rescue and reinstate the integrity of a basement in one simple spray.
The only tricky part: accessing the space where the spray needs to be applied.
Sometimes it can be more than a little challenging to access the areas that require waterproofing around your building. To do so could mean a huge amount of time and money thrown at excavation work as contractors try to dig away a path to the outer walls of your building’s basement.
The Solution: negative waterproofing (an inside job)
As the title suggests, negative waterproofing (or negative-side waterproofing) handles the task from the inside to keep water out.
Benefits
- Negative-side waterproofing is cheaper by miles
- While exterior waterproofing (positive-side) is ideal for future-proofing a home, negative-side waterproofing is extremely effective in emergencies
- Unlike exterior jobs, an inside waterproofing job can be easily accessed in the future (without unpredictable natural obstacles like landslides, fallen trees or weeds getting in the way)
