Denver Basement Waterproofing

Discovering a wet, damp, musty basement or crawl space is a homeowner’s nightmare.  

For many in Denver and the surrounding area, the nightmare is all too real. Thanks to the area’s clay loam soil, homeowners often see water in their basement or crawl space when rain or snowmelt occurs. Water damage and excess moisture aren’t ever a one-time problem. 

The first time you notice the problem won’t be the last. The water leak will continue until you call a reliable waterproofing expert. Installing a permanent waterproofing system can save you money long-term and even help you avoid health problems from mold inhalation.  

The experts at Groundworks have more than 20 years of experience repairing Denver area homes. With more than 1,300 positive reviews, local service awards and a free inspection, there is no reason not to call. Contact Groundworks to schedule a time to meet with our friendly inspectors. 

What Causes Basement Waterproofing Problems?

Your Denver home is impacted by the soil and the weather conditions more than you think. It’s the area’s clay loam soil that’s the most problematic. Soil with a high percentage of clay easily absorbs water and expands quickly if the proper drainage system is not installed or has failed at your home. Since Denver receives only 15 to 20 inches of rainfall annually, significantly less than the national average, when rain or snowmelt occurs, the molecules in clay soil are ready to absorb the liquid as quickly as possible.  

This wet soil surrounding your home’s foundation doesn’t drain well and commonly finds the path of least resistance into your home. As a result, you may see or feel water on basement walls, see water damage where the floor and wall meet, or notice a basement leak over the top of the wall. Water can enter due to hydrostatic pressure caused by the heavy clay loam soil or because concrete is porous and absorbs water surrounding the foundation.  

Regardless of the reason, a permanent drainage system must be installed to stop the problem before it becomes more costly by stealing value from your home and putting your family at risk. Mold easily grows in damp, dark areas, and spores travel through the house because of the stack effect.
