Affordable Home Waterproofing Solutions

As November ushers in colder temperatures here in Peterborough, homeowners face a critical window to protect their homes from winter’s harsh effects. One of the most important preparations is ensuring your basement is properly waterproofed before the freeze sets in.

Why does this matter? When temperatures drop, the ground freezes and thaws, causing soil to shift and expand. This movement can create cracks in your foundation walls or worsen existing ones, allowing water to seep in. Additionally, melting snow and ice can saturate the soil around your home, increasing hydrostatic pressure against your basement walls.

What should you do now?

❄️ Inspect your basement and foundation: Look for any signs of moisture, cracks, or water stains.

❄️ Clear gutters and downspouts: Ensure water is directed away from your foundation to prevent pooling. 

❄️ Consider professional waterproofing: Experts like Peterborough Waterproofing can assess your home’s vulnerabilities and install effective solutions such as interior drainage systems, sump pumps, or exterior waterproof membranes.

Taking action before the ground freezes helps prevent costly water damage, mold growth, and structural issues during the winter months.
