HOW TO KEEP YOUR BASEMENT DRY THIS WINTER

Here in Ontario our cold weather winters tend to be at the worse peak during the months of January and February. Since winter weather leads to ice and snow accumulation this can lead to excess water buildup around your home. At ACCL Waterproofing we want to prevent water leaks and keep your basement dry! below are some tips for keeping your basement dry this winter.

Filling in cracks:

Noticing any cracks on your basement walls or floor could potentially put you at risk for basement leaks or if you are already experiencing basement leaks it could be the reason.  Before the winter weather hits its important to fill any cracks you come across in your basement to ensure full protection.

Gutters & Downspouts:

As soon as fall hits and the leaves are falling off the trees, you will want to regularly clean out your gutters and downspouts. Doing this before the winter season hits will ensure that they are cleaned out and ready to perform the way they should. Having blockage in your gutters and downspouts can cause water to spill over the sides and leak into your home’s foundation.

 

Indoor Humidity:winter dehumidifier

It’s recommended you purchase a dehumidifier to help keep excess moisture out of your home. In the winter the air can be cold and dry, but this doesn’t mean that there isn’t excess moisture in your home. Keeping a dehumidifier will help keep the excess moisture away as well as help with condensation problems that could be coming from dryer vents or pipes.
