Ground water leaking into basements is a problem that has troubled homeowners for generations. Over the years contractors and engineers have developed numerous methods to try to fix a wet basement. Some methods are better than others. We have a wide variety of methods to solve any basement water problems. A few of these methods include:

Drainage Systems

Removing the water from your basement often starts with relieving the hydrostatic pressure from around your basement, redirecting it to your sump pump, and expelling it from your basement. Baker's Waterproofing offers several options from Basement Systems that will help to keep your foundation leak-proof. Our variety of systems will work with any type of foundation. No matter your situation, you are not condemned to a wet basement.

Sump Pumps

A sump pump is the beating heart of your waterproofing system. If you have a dependable sump pump, chances are that your waterproofing will be more secure. If you have a faulty sump pump, it could result in a total flood of your basement. At Baker's Waterproofing, we offer several models of sump pumps that will make sure that no matter what storm your house has to weather, it can get through it dryly. We also offer battery backups for sump pumps so that when the power goes out, you don't have to worry about what is happening in your basement.

Windows

Your windows are a natural weak point for your basement. We offer several solutions for basement windows - from window wells that truly reflect light into your home, beautifying them, to effective egress windows, we can help your window wells stay waterproof and beautiful. We also offer a system called the WellDuct which will help the water that comes in around your basement windows be redirected to your drain system and out through your sump pump.

Dehumidifiers

Having a dehumidifier in your home is a great way to keep problems like mold and mildew out of your basement. Keeping the humidity in your basement under 50% will prevent anything from growing. It will also reduce rot. The dehumidifiers which Baker's Waterproofing offers will help you do this - and naturally remove the wastewater through your sump pump.

Plumbing Leak Precautions

Some of the biggest problems in your basement are caused by plumbing weaknesses. Water hoses for your washing machine and your hot water heater are natural problems for every homeowner. They eventually fail, causing massive flooding, destroying your belongings. We offer plumbing leak precautions so that your water hoses will never become a problem, and when your hot water heater breaks, you will not need to worry that the water will destroy your basement.

Wall Systems

Once you have finished all of your basement waterproofing, you may want to consider making your basement a finished space. Baker's Waterproofing offers many systems for your basement walling which will be beautiful and provide you with a clean canvas to work with. We also offer thermal walling systems that will help your home be more energy efficient and warm.

Floor Systems

If the rest of your basement is finished from waterproofing to walling, you may want to consider putting warm flooring into your basement. We offer several products for our basement customers to finish their flooring - that will never succumb to moisture problems.

Downspouts

Your downspouts are a huge concern for how dry your basement is. You should always make sure that they are directed away from the foundation to a part of the grading which streams quickly away from your home. Baker's Waterproofing can help with this!
