Reliability From Waterproofing Professionals

Let’s face it, the waterproofing industry does not enjoy the best of reputations.   ACCL Waterproofing Company began with the idea that there is definitely a better way.  We have no intention of undermining the competition, but allow us to explain some pitfalls in dealing with basement waterproofers so that a well-informed decision can be made in choosing the right waterproofing professionals.

Signs to Watch For

Most water control system companies rely on a stand-alone interior drainage system and a sump pump to control the water.  You may be introduced to the system by a different name or have it explained to you in a unique way.  Always remember that pipe placed under the floor that leads to a pump is a water control system.

Many companies that install interior drainage systems often refer to themselves as “waterproofing” companies, but, in fact, they don’t provide any type of waterproofing services at all.  In order to gain a competitive advantage, they combine the interior system with something else and it is usually some sort of outside work.  The outside work generally benefits the customer very little and allows the company to drive up their price and appear different from the competition.

Some companies, in order to eliminate the competition, actually price different methods as if they do them.  For example:

  • Exterior waterproofing – priced high
  • Interior drainage –  priced extremely low
  • Other methods – priced somewhere in the middle

If you believe that you may be dealing with a company that does do this, here is a tip to know for sure.  Ask for one of the methods they don’t use.  The company will usually say that they can’t or won’t use that method because it will not work for your waterproofing situation.

Other interior methods may be on top of the footer or use above the floor products.  Although marketed extremely well, these systems fail in comparison to traditional drainage systems. If there is a leak, they will service it.  If your wall bows, you are on your own.

Whether we at ACCL are chosen for your waterproofing needs or not, we want you as potential customers to be as informed as possible while making your decision.

Many homeowners believe that applying a waterproof coating to a foundation wall is enough to keep water out of their basement. While waterproofing membranes play a critical role in preventing water penetration, the most effective exterior waterproofing systems combine a waterproof membrane with a drainage board.  Together, these components create a complete defense system that protects your foundation from moisture, hydrostatic pressure, and long-term structural damage.
