Proper site assessment and addressing existing damage are essential; work may involve excavation, cleaning, and repairing cracks to ensure system effectiveness.
Will waterproofing work cause significant disruption or require access to my home?
Installation can involve interior or exterior access, with minimal disruption typically lasting 1 to 3 days, depending on project scope.
How long will waterproofing last, and what maintenance is needed?
Waterproofing systems generally last 10-20 years with proper inspection and maintenance, such as sealing cracks or drainage checks.
