Wet Basement Repair in North Carolina

Local Basement Waterproofing Contractors from Winston Salem, NC to Watauga County

From the High Country to the Triad, we at Tar Heel Basement Sysytems understand the nuances of basement waterproofing -- that every home has a unique situation and needs a unique basement waterproofing solution.

Basements are imperfect concrete structures built in soils that vary from region to region. Water in the soil leaking into basements is a problem that has troubled homeowners for more than 100 years. This water enters the basement through the floors, walls, and joints between them. Over the years, general contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry with varying success.

In the 1980's however, a true basement waterproofing company began designing products and solutions to dry wet basements.  The company is Basement Systems Inc., and Tar Heel Basement Systems is the authorized dealership from the High Country, North Carolina, to the Triad area.

There are many possible solutions, some of which are more effective than others, including:

• Exterior Excavation
• Interior Subfloor
• Negative-side Sealant 

Among the best of these methods is to install interior subfloor drainage system, such as Basement Systems' patented WaterGuard system along the perimeter of the floor. There are a few challenges to this method however. One is to keep the drain from being clogged by mud over the years. Many homeowners go years without a water problem and then develop one due to the existing sub-floor and sub-surface drains clogging with mud.  A good option is to keep the drain off the dirt underneath the basement floor by resting it on a bed of clean stone or gravel, which will prevent it from sitting on the mud while still allowing flooding water to make its way upwards into the French drain or drain tile system without clogging.

Another challenge for subfloor systems is to set up the system to accept water from the walls without leaving a large unsightly gap at the edge of the floor which can collect dirt and debris from the floor - another potential for clogging the drain.

Basement Systems' patented WaterGuard or DryTrak system is designed to meet these challenges and keep your basement dry permanently.
