Periodic service and maintenance are important to maintaining the integrity of your waterproofing system.

Basement Vapor Barrier
An effective way to keep your basement moisture free is to use a vapor barrier. A vapor barrier is a sheet of material that slows the transmission of moisture into your basement. Along with the sealed Grate Drain system, it’s an excellent way to prevent moisture, mold, fungus and odors, and the poor air quality and damage they can cause.
Scaldino Basement Solutions offers a few different types of vapor barriers. TuffShield™ is a vapor barrier that’s 16mil cross laminated and fire retardant. It’s the most economical and effective vapor barrier for finished basement walls. It’s good at preventing moisture seepage, especially against wall leaks.
ThermalShield™ is a foil-faced wall vapor barrier that has double layers of bubbles and white poly on the back. One advantage of ThermalShield™ is that it reflects indoor heat back into the basement, which can save money on your heating bill.
FAQ
Is it safe to finish a leaky basement?
Having a leaky of damp basement finished without first addressing the moisture causes and sources is a real recipe for disaster. All your finishing materials and furnishings will get damp or wet and favor mold growth. And if the basement floods, the damages can be extensive and very costly to repair.
Will my insurance cover flood damage in the basement?
The typical homeowner’s insurance does not cover basement flood damage. And even if you have flood insurance, these policies have limitations of coverage. The best way to protect your property and avoid costly repairs in the future is to have your basement properly waterproofed
Can I fix my basement with waterproofing paint?
Basement paint and other waterproofing coatings and sealants commonly sold in hardware store as a DIY solution for wet basements as at best, a temporary solution. That is because these sealants do not address de cause of basement leaks, which is the oversaturated soil and the resulting hydrostatic pressure causing the water to seep into the basement in the first place. Overtime, the coating will crack, bubble or peel, and the water will, once again, find its way in,
