Basement Waterproofing in Athens, GA

Review Logo 4.8 (3,024)

Athens has a wet environment that doesn't lend itself well to basement foundations. Alongside sandy soils and deeper clay soils, your basement constantly faces potential damage. The 48 inches of annual rain in Athens leads to muddy, soft soils in your yard. When the water drains below the surface, it puts pressure on the basement floors and walls. Eventually, the increasing water pressure leads to mold and other problems signs. Faulty sump pumps or plumbing leaks also lead to water in your basement. However, AquaGuard has basement waterproofing solutions like dehumidifiers and drainage systems that stop these issues for good.

"AquaGuard was fantastic from the first appointment all the way through installation and beyond. Will, the sales rep, did a great job of explaining my options with no pressure to make a decision. The crew - Stephen, Darrell, and Derrick - came out on a day that ended up having some torrential downpours and did a great job with an amazing attitude. That was no feat given that it was the day before a hurricane came through! Frankie, the installation manager, followed up to check on my satisfaction and was quick to send another crew out to address one fix needed because of the storm. I can't recommend this company highly enough."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Athens

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
