Basement waterproofing

Climate change is causing increasingly heavy rainfall. Because of these heavy rainstorms, there is also a greater chance of flooding. This may call for measures to better protect your home from flooding. One of these measures is waterproofing your basement.

What does waterproofing your basement involve?

As a result of flooding, your basement can become damp or flood. Waterproofing your basement protects your basement from flooding. You can waterproof your basement by caulking or injecting your basement walls. With caulking, floors and walls are sealed with waterproof paste. This prevents water from entering the basement. When injecting basement walls, a moisture-resistant gel is inserted into the wall. The damp-proof gel counteracts rising damp and ensures that the walls become dry again.

Cost

The price for bekuiping is about € 4000. Obviously, the price depends on the size of the basement. The price for injecting the walls is about €100 per linear meter.

Space use

This measure makes sense if (ground) water flows through the walls into the basement.

What do you need.

For capping and injecting basement walls, you need professionals who specialize in this.

Tips

It is important that your basement is well ventilated. This prevents the development of mold and moisture problems.
