“Should I invest in basement waterproofing in Illinois?” We hear this question all the time. Whether you just recently bought a home or you’re looking to remodel your existing one, basement waterproofing is a wise addition to your property. In the list below, we will go over 4 of the top benefits of waterproofing in Illinois so you can determine if it is right for you.
Reduce Your Energy Bills
All it takes is a tiny crack or foundation damage in your basement to let cold air in during the fall and winter months. With basement waterproofing, you can seal up those small cracks and insulate your basement as a whole. This will naturally reduce your energy bills, and it will make it easier for you to maintain the temperature in your basement. If you use this as a den, workout room, man cave, or any other living space, the added insulation will help you make the most of your basement.
Prevent Mold Growth
Mold is toxic to your health, especially if you have respiratory issues. Most people do not realize just how quickly mold can grow and spread. In a hot, humid environment like a basement, mold can grow in as little as 24 hours. Thankfully, you can eliminate that health hazard with basement waterproofing. This will keep the moisture out of your basement so you can breathe easily when you’re inside.
Add Value to Your Home
Basement waterproofing will naturally add value to your home, and it will make it easier to sell in the future. Even if you do not plan on remodeling your basement, having it waterproofed will allow future buyers to immediately convert it into usable living space. Of course, if you want to turn your basement into a functioning entertainment area, that will add even more value to the property. The benefits keep going from there.
Protect Your Homes Structural Integrity
Foundation cracks caused by water pressure around your basement can diminish the structural integrity of your home. With basement waterproofing, you can prevent those foundation cracks from happening, thereby protecting the strength of your house.
