When deciding on a waterproofing method for your home, its important to factor in several things when deciding how much to spend. While dampproofing is the easiest and cheapest method, it is also grossly ineffective at long term waterproofing, as dampproofing wears down and loses it durability over time. Spending a little extra on actual membrane-based waterproofing, with a drainage board, and a drainage tile may seem like too much to some homeowners. When water seeps into a basement, because of poor waterproofing, it is known to cause damage to the structural foundation, as well as cause the build-up of mold and mildew. The repairs to a structure can be extremely costly, and take a significant amount of time. Its much easier and more cost-effective to spend the extra money on a comprehensive system than it will be to make the repairs as problems occur.
