Frequently Asked Questions

It’s essential to waterproof your foundation as soon as signs of moisture appear, even if they seem minor. Untreated water infiltration can escalate, causing structural damage, mold growth, and decreased property value.

Signs your foundation may need waterproofing include:

• Water or dampness in the basement: puddles, condensation, or wet walls.
• Musty or earthy odors: an indication of chronic humidity.
• White stains or efflorescence on walls: caused by mineral deposits from water seepage.
• Peeling paint or warped walls: due to moisture pressure behind the surface.
• Visible leaks during heavy rain or thaw.
• Consistently wet soil around the foundation: poor exterior drainage management.

A preventive inspection can identify vulnerabilities before issues become visible. For a professional assessment, contact Heneault Gosselin.
