Mold, mildew, and other biological growths can be damaging to even the healthiest members of your family. The process of mold growth also can release byproducts like gasses, chemical residue and particulate matter.
Humidity in the soil and air releases destructive water vapor, debris, contaminates, and pollen. This damp air carries mold spores and musty odors, providing the perfect environment for insects and other pests, as well as wood rot. These issues affect your home’s structure and the quality of air in your living spaces.
There are a variety of solutions to keep your basement mold and moisture free. Many systems effectively remove moisture from your basement, prevent mold growth, and increase a home’s overall energy efficiency. Here are a few methods:
The Foundation Repairer's mold treatment and prevention coating is a water-based fungicidal coating which is applied to treat and prevent the growth of mold, mildew, fungi, bacteria, or other fungal organisms. This sealant coats and protects surfaces in unconditioned basements and is part of an ideal home waterproofing process.
All of our waterproofing systems drain into a top-of-the-line sump pump system and include safeguards against power outages and pump failures. It is extremely important to have a second battery-operated pump in the sump liner in case of mechanical or power failure. The Foundation Repairer battery back ups are dependable and flexible.
Encapsulation seals your basement with a barrier that traps water and sends it directly into the drainage system. The encapsulation material we use is a polyurethane membrane interlaced with high-density fibers. This is the strongest and most puncture-resistant material on the market, and is an inorganic material that does not support mold growth
