Protecting Your New Home
Building your new home is an exciting experience and at times may become very
overwhelming as well. There are many important decisions to be made during this process,
one of them being protecting your foundation.
This may not be as glamorous or exciting as the many other decisions your making; but it is
one of the most important, when it comes to protecting your investment.
Let's take a look at the difference now.
Damproofing
- Damproofing can only stop water vapor, not water under hydrostatic pressure.
- Damproofing has no crack bridging capabilities. When the foundation cracks, so does
the damproofing, thus allowing water to enter the basement living space.
- Damproofing only has a life expectancy of 18 to 36 months.
Waterproofing
- A Waterproofing System eliminates hydrostatic pressure.
- Waterproofing has permanent elasticity to bridge foundation cracks which occur
during the concrete curing stage.
- A quality Waterproofing System will insulate your foundation walls, keeping them
warm and dry, and eliminates hydrostatic pressure.
- Waterproofing depending on the system, can carry warranties of 10 years to a
Lifetime.
Waterproofing gives you "Peace of Mind!"
