INTRODUCTION A water-clogged basement can be much more than only a nightmare in Sydney. Even after the removal of water and drying the area, there are still plenty of opportunities for mould.
USE SEALANTS There are particular sealants that you can inject into the cracks to prevent leaks and moisture seeping through. You can use coatings for waterproofing in Sydney that will permanently seal the cracks.
INSTALL RAIN GUTTERS Rain gutters help in channelling roof water away from the concrete foundation of your home. If you do not maintain them properly, they will fill up with debris and this will result in water pouring from the sides.
TAKE DOWNSPOUTS Downspouts will seep through the ground locating cracks in your foundation. Without the presence of rain gutters, water will continue draining from the roof edges resulting in forming a huge pool next to the downspout.
CHECK YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM If you own a sprinkler system for gardening purposes, make sure to not spray water at the house. This may not cause leakage but can make things worse. Sometimes, they might also break due to heat and weather conditions.
MAINTENANCE If you find your basement to be flooded, make sure to take special care to dry the floor and drywall as doing it quickly is important. You need to replace your fixtures and furnishings like beds, couches, cushions etc.
