Our basement waterproofing solutions in Kearney, NE (Buffalo County) include:
Interior Basement Waterproofing and Drainage Systems
Sump Pump installation – A sump pump works by pumping collected water out of your basement and away from your home.
Drain tile – These are pipes that have been buried under your foundation. Their job is to collect water and channel it to the sump pit.
Vapor barriers – Vapor barriers are usually made of plastic and their job is to keep your basement dry by preventing moisture from coming in through a foundation wall.
Egress windows – Egress windows are very effective at stopping water from pooling near basement windows. They also provide a safe exit in case of an emergency. Many of our customers at Epp Foundation Repair choose to install egress windows instead of waterproofing their existing windows.
Basement crack repair – Basement wall cracks not caused by a major structural problem can be repaired using either an epoxy or a polyurethane substance.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing and Drainage Systems
Yard drainage – Water that’s allowed to pool next to your foundation will eventually make its way into your basement. Curtain drains prevent this from happening by intercepting water and channeling it away from the foundation.
Exterior waterproofing membrane – A waterproof membrane applied to the outside of a foundation wall will stop moisture from coming into contact with it.
Exterior foundation drain (or a perimeter drain) – Water enters this perforated PVC pipe and then gets channeled away from the foundation.
Window well drainage – You don’t want water pooling near a basement window well. Therefore, good drainage is essential.
Downspout extensions – Downspouts that are too short will dump water into the soil next to the foundation. Adding extensions ensures that the water is channeled away from your home.
Underground downspout and sump pump discharge extensions – These work to carry water away from your foundation and into something called a bubbler pot. After pressure builds in the bubbler pot, the lid opens, and the water is distributed across your yard.
