Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t waterproof your foundation in time, you risk serious and expensive consequences. Water infiltration through the foundation can damage not only the structure but also affect air quality and overall comfort in your home.

Key consequences of neglected waterproofing include:

• Water infiltration: water pooling in the basement after rain or snowmelt.
• Mold development: leading to respiratory and allergy problems.
• Material deterioration: weakened concrete, crumbling walls, peeling paint.
• Persistent odors: musty smells caused by standing humidity.
• Decreased property value: damp homes are harder to sell or insure.
• Costly repairs: the longer water damage is left untreated, the more complex and expensive it becomes.

Preventive waterproofing is always more cost-effective than major restoration. To avoid these issues, have your foundation inspected by Heneault Gosselin.
