Do you manage a commercial building? You may have encountered water damage. This is a problem frequently encountered by building owners and managers. While the little drips of water may seem harmless, the damage they are causing will become more apparent as time goes by.
Water finds its way into buildings in various ways. Some of the most common ways include cracks, porous surfaces, poor sealing of splices, leaks, humidity, runoff from groundwater and damaged drainage systems. It’s important to deal with these issues in the early stages of development. This will prevent the issues from escalating into larger problems that are more expensive and difficult to deal with.
If you haven’t already invested in basement waterproofing for your commercial building, you should do so as soon as possible. There are many benefits to waterproofing the foundation of your commercial building.
- Preserve the structural integrity of your building
How safe is your building? Did you know that allowing water to sit near and around your foundation will cause it to weaken? If you want to ensure that your building’s foundation remains strong and secure, you will need to address the water issue. Working with a commercial waterproofing contractor will help you identify the issues and apply the best solution.
- Improve indoor air quality
The state of your basement affects the quality of the air in the rest of the building. This is because of the stack effect that results in air rising from the basement to the upper parts of the building. If your basement is infested with mold, microbes and pests, the air in the rest of the building is likely to be rife with allergens and other disease-causing agents. Commercial basement waterproofing can help you improve the air quality within your building.
- Improve energy efficiency
As a commercial building manager or owner, you will do what you can to cut down on expenses. Waterproofing your basement will help to reduce your energy expenses by improving the efficiency of your building. You will use less energy to heat and cool the building as a result.
- Help you comply with building codes
If you don’t want your building shut down because of failure to meet building codes, ensure that you invest in waterproofing. This will help you to avoid issues for the long term.
- Saves money in the long run
If you want to save money on repairs in the long run, invest in basement waterproofing today. You won’t have to deal with damage caused by water in the future.
