Why Fall Is the Best Time of Year to Waterproof a Home

 

New Hope, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2019 -- As fall approaches, Basement Medics are offering basement waterproofing in Mercer County, NJ, and surrounding regions. Their family-owned business has been curing wet basements and crawlspaces and repairing foundations for over thirty years. Basement Medics has recently advised on why the fall is the best time of year to waterproof a home.

One of the main advantages of choosing to install a waterproofing system in a basement area is the fact that this can reduce monthly insurance premiums. This is especially relevant if a person has flood or water damage coverage. Waterproofing systems help to significantly reduce the risk that a home will experience water damage, mildew and mold growth, or other forms of related harm.

Another critical reason to consider basement waterproofing installation this fall is the fact that it can protect a family's health. Basement waterproofing systems help to reduce the risk of mold growth inside a home. Mold can represent a substantial respiratory health risk and can cause breathing issues and chest infections.

Basement waterproofing also protects a building's foundation against damage. Waterproofing makes it less likely that a foundation area will crack from absorbed moisture. Adding drainage systems to a yard and basement area can help to prevent soil erosion and the foundation shifts that this process can cause.

The installation of membranes and vapor barriers in a basement can reduce the levels of ambient humidity throughout a home. This is because a basement area is more likely to contribute any moisture to the interior of a home. Reduced levels of humidity make it easier for AC and HVAC systems to heat up or cool down the air.
