Wet Basements

Is Your Basement Wet From Water Drainage Issues?

Most problems with water entry and wet basements inside the house are due to poor drainage on the outside. Quick action is needed as the extra moisture will lead to mold, mildew and decay.

If water is coming from outside the house, the drainage around the exterior needs to be evaluated and improved as soon as possible.

Call us today at 402.778.9991 to set up a free consultation to review your property’s drainage. Ideal will inspect the following:

  • gutters, downspouts, existing drains, window wells
  • pitch of the site around the property (swales, springs)
  • assessment of water problems at the foundation
  • condition of foundation, exterior and interior

Basement Waterproofing

“Waterproofing” your basement is the process of sealing cracks in the concrete of your foundation wall. It is applied to the inside basement wall, although “waterproofing” sealer can also be applied to the exterior wall of the foundation after the foundation walls have been exposed through digging.

At Ideal Renovations, we recommend that you first take steps to redirect the water away from your foundation. Waterproofing can be used as a final step in the drainage remediation process, to ensure that a basement stays dry.
