Protect Your Home from Water Damage with Our Expert Interior Waterproofing Solutions -Guaranteed to Keep Your Home or Commercial Building Safe and Dry.
Stopping water from collecting around and underneath your foundation ranks #1 on the list of “to-dos” for maintaining your home. Most homes in the Hampton Roads area sit on top of expansive soil that is prone to soaking up water during rainfall or flooding events.
If you aren’t careful, water will seep through a concrete foundation wall and lead to leaks, structural damage, and moisture in your crawl space. AMC911’s interior waterproofing solutions offer you the best results against water intrusion.
Interior Waterproofing by AMC911
Crawl spaces across Hampton Roads are pretty consistently damp, humid, and soggy. AMC911 can install an interior waterproofing system to drain water away from your home to create a safe and dry living space for you and your family. Interior waterproofing is typically a simpler and affordable crawl space and basement drainage system. Many homeowners in Virginia choose to install an interior waterproofing system because it is less labor-intensive and does not require the removal of landscaping like exterior waterproofing. It can also be installed all year round and is not affected by the outside weather or elements.
How Interior Waterproofing Works
Our experienced team of engineers and design specialists will assess your specific needs. They will then design an interior waterproofing system, including a sump pump to keep your crawl space permanently dry and rid of disturbing crawl space moisture. This setup allows you to invest in your home and your health.
First, our team will install a perforated drain pipe (commonly referred to as a drain tile) inside the perimeter of the crawl space. This drain tile is the most effective part of the interior waterproofing system, since it’s responsible for draining water to the sump basin, which is the hollow chamber the sump pump sits in.
When the water in the sump basin reaches maximum capacity, the sump pump turns on and expels the water outside of the crawl space and away from the home using a discharge line.
Because AMC911 sump basins are made of polyethylene, they are strong and impact-resistant. This increases the life expectancy of the sump pump, preventing it from crushing or deteriorating.
Benefits of Interior Waterproofing & Sump Pumps by AMC911
Not only will an interior waterproofing system save you a lot of stress and money in the long run, it will contribute to a cleaner, safer home. Many crawl spaces and basements in Hampton Roads and other coastal areas are highly susceptible to flooding. Plumbing mishaps caused by this weather, such as clogged drains, can lead to standing water in your crawl space.
The biggest benefit of a sump pump is that it’s an active system. The pumps actively work to prevent water from coming into your home while also pumping it out if it does enter. Sump pumps are constantly working to keep excess water away from your home before it creeps in through cracks in your crawl space walls.
Trench drains, french drains, and exterior water-repellent coatings are reactive, meaning that they are only present to handle whatever situation arises. Without the use of a sump pump, water will eventually find its way back into your crawl space.
Crack Injection Repair
Another interior waterproofing method that we use is crack injection repair. If you have smaller cracks that allow water into your home and are not causing serious structural damage, we can seal them with an epoxy or polyurethane injection.
Our commercial-grade crack injection materials are extremely reliable. These waterproofing resins are designed to seal cracks and voids in your foundation, preventing water infiltration and air leakage.
