Never Disregard a Water Leak in your Basement Prior to Finishing

One of the most daunting challenges about finishing a basement is managing existing moisture and flooding in the space. If you have a damp or wet basement, then sooner or later, whatever organic materials you store in the space are going to be ruined.

TBF by DryZone, LLC can help you plan a finished basement that won't leak and will manage potential floods and humidity. Call or e-mail them today for a free, no-obligation basement design quote!

They serve the Delaware & Maryland area, including Dover, DE, Salisbury, MD and nearby.

Even if your basement has never flooded before, the threat of a flood is ever-present in a basement. Groundwater is only half of your problem- there's also a wide variety of potential plumbing failures throughout your home.

And when water floods upstairs, it's going to flow downstairs-- right into your finished basement.

You can protect your finished basement, starting now. Follow these two simple steps to make sure your basement looks beautiful-- and stays that way.

Waterproofing and Finishing Your Basement in DE & MD

Step 1: Waterproof the Basement

Basement water means big problems for your finished space. Flooding and humidity will lead to mold, rot, and odors in the space, which ruins the space as a comfortable living area. Even an occasional flood can leave lingering problems, and mold can begin to grow in as little as 24-48 hours.

If your basement has ever flooded, you can be sure it's going to again. And even if your basement finishing products are waterproof, not everything you put in your finished basement will be.

What you can do:

  • Install a full perimeter drainage system

  • Install a sump pump system with a battery backup

  • Repair any leaking cracks

  • Fix leaking basement windows

  • Install a vapor barrier on your walls and floors.

A dry basement will be ready for finishing. Otherwise, you may be building a major problem that will emerge later on down the road. Call or e-mail us today to get a free basement finishing quote!

Quick Tip: When you waterproof your basement, follow up with a basement dehumidifier. Choose one that's self-draining and energy efficient, and your home will be dry, odor-free, and much more comfortable.

Step 2: Use Waterproof Products

Organic Materials Found in Finished Basements

Drywall
Latex Paint Paper Products
Carpet Wood Cloth/String
Fiberglass Dyes and Resins Glues and Adhesives Leather

Even with a basement wateproofing system in place, your basement will easily flood if there's an issue with your plumbing.

With so much plumbing in your home, encountering an issue like this is just be a matter of time. Avoid using any organic materials in your basement finishing system.

Organic products are susceptible to mold and moisture damage, and they can become irreparably damaged in a flood. Materials such as fiberglass use dyes in their products and when wet, these dyes will seep out onto materials around it.

The Total Basement Finishing System, installed by TBF by DryZone, LLC in the Delaware & Maryland area, uses only inorganic materials in their basement finishing system. Each of their products includes a written warranty for mold and moisture damage resistance, and the walls and flooring are completely undamaged by water.
