Basement Waterproofing in Athens, GA

Review Logo 4.8 (3,042)

In Athens, the clay soils can be particularly challenging for basement foundations. These soils tend to retain water, which can lead to increased hydrostatic pressure against your basement walls. Over time, this pressure can cause cracks, bowing, and ultimately, water infiltration. To combat these issues, AquaGuard offers advanced basement waterproofing solutions, including dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, BasementGutter, and sump pumps. Our systems are designed to keep water out and effectively redirect it away from your home, protecting your basement from damage and mold growth.

"Aquaguard Foundations Solutions did an encasement of my crawlspace. Everyone I interacted with from the company was extremely knowledgeable. Jermaine and Jamal did a great job in the installation process and they were extremely professional and thorough in making sure everything was done right. I did not anticipate the benefit of How much warmer my house was during this cold weather. I’m very pleased with the results. I thought about getting this done for a number of years but held back. Getting it done was the right decision!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Athens

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
