Basement Waterproofing Systems
Why is it a better idea for the homeowner to have a basement waterproofing system professionally installed vs. buying piecemeal consumer products?
It is always a better idea for a homeowner to have basement waterproofing systems professionally installed because installation of a basement waterproofing system can be tremendously stressful. The fact is that pulling up a cement floor in a basement and installing pumps and systems needs specialized contracting expertise.
Looking at a basement waterproofing project is similar to looking at a roofing project: Do you want to remove the shingles on your roof and re-shingle it only to have it leak again? The same applies to basement waterproofing systems. There are tricks of the trade that are inherent in each and every installation, similar to roofing. If you do not flash a valley properly, that valley on the roof will leak. Similar issues occur in basement waterproofing.
Professional basement waterproofing system installation
Basement Technologies undergoes five-day-a-week training for their installers. Constant supervision of all jobs is inherent in Basement Technologies installations. Constant education on updating of pumps and systems needs to be done in the basement waterproofing field.
Basement waterproofing is a grueling, heavy labor type of installation and if a mistake is made by a homeowner who tries to put together a basement waterproofing system himself or use untrained contractors, disaster can result. The comparison of having a general practitioner do heart surgery can be made between having a handyman or general contractor do basement waterproofing. Basement waterproofing is a specialized service that requires specialized contractors who have specialized training. Water is extremely tricky and needs to be properly handled by trained professionals.
