Fill Foundation Cracks: Waterproofing Basement Walls from Outside
It's critical to recognize foundation cracks before you start waterproofing basement walls from outside that could result in leaks because not all foundation fractures are made equal. Although it will assist, sealing them probably won't stop basement leaks. Because it can form underwater and expands as it sets to seal the hole and fix the plug, hydraulic cement is a suitable material to patch holes in a foundation.
Enlarge the hole or crack into an inverted "V," with the narrow part of the "V" resting on the surface of the wall, using a cold chisel, an angle grinder, and a masonry-cutting disc or diamond blade if necessary. Then, mix the hydraulic cement according to the directions on the container, and use it to.
Wall insulation for basements
The walls outside should be insulated to avoid condensation. Insulating basement walls might help you save money on your heating bill in colder climes. However, if water is coming in from the outside, don't insulate the walls because this could lead to a mold issue.
Pipe insulation.
Cold pipes may develop condensation, which can cause dripping and further water issues in the exterior basement waterproofing. To prevent condensation, wrap cold water pipes in foam pipe insulation. Insulation foam may be easily and cheaply sliced with scissors. Additionally, it aids in preventing pipes from freezing in the winter, which can lead to significant flooding issues.
