Although basements are not commonplace in Oak Island, those that do exist are particularly vulnerable to water intrusion due to their below-grade location. The area experiences an average annual rainfall of around 56 inches, which can lead to flooding, especially during hurricane season. The sandy soil in Oak Island generally drains water effectively, but excessive rainfall can overwhelm this drainage, causing hydrostatic pressure to build up against the foundation walls, leading to moisture problems. Homeowners can protect their basements from mold, efflorescence, and flooding with Tar Heel's comprehensive waterproofing solutions, which include customized interior drainage systems, sump pumps, vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers.
