Waterproofing Basements in Rhode Island

There isn’t much worse than walking down to your basement and feeling a squelch underneath your feet. The way to avoid this horrible sock-soaking incident is to do some waterproofing in your Rhode Island home. Basement Technologies makes waterproofing your basement easy with our range of services and equipment.

Pumps

Sump pumps are placed in a pit in the lowest point of your home, most often the basement. They work by funneling out excess groundwater that threatens to flood your home when it rains. Sump pumps protect your home against water damage, mold growth, and pest infestation.

Backup Systems

When the rain refuses to let up, your sump pump could get overwhelmed or your house could lose power. To ensure your basement is still safe in those situations, our battery backup sump pumps turn on if your sump pump fails.

Interior and Exterior Sealing

Sealing the interior of your home is the easiest and most inexpensive way to waterproof your home. For full waterproofing, basement cracks and holes must be sealed, especially around windows and on floors. This method blocks out moisture and condensation.

Sealing the exterior of your home is a more labor-intensive process and requires heavy tools. This method involves excavating the soil around the foundation and then applying a sealant to the base.

Drainage Systems

One system that not everyone knows about is a basement drainage system. These systems are installed underneath the basement floor and are permanent. One common option is the French drain. We can help you figure out which drainage system is right for you.

Dehumidification

An important part of keeping your basement safe is ensuring that it is not too humid. You can choose between portable dehumidifiers and whole-house systems. The size of the basement is important when it comes to choosing the right option for your home.
