Basement waterproofing can help prevent water damage and mold growth in your home by creating a barrier that keeps water from seeping into the basement. This helps to maintain a dry environment, reducing the risk of water damage to your belongings and the structure of your home. Additionally, by keeping moisture out, basement waterproofing helps to prevent mold growth, which can be harmful to your health and difficult to remove once it takes hold.

A licensed plumber would recommend scheduling a video camera sewer and drain inspection every 1-2 years to ensure the optimal functioning of your plumbing system.

One advantage of installing an overhead sewer system in your home is that it can help prevent basement flooding by providing a higher level of protection against sewer backups.

To determine if your basement is at risk of flooding, look for signs such as water stains, musty odors, or cracks in the walls. To mitigate the risk effectively, ensure proper grading around your home, install a sump pump, seal any cracks or openings, and consider installing a backwater valve. Regular maintenance of your plumbing system is also crucial in preventing basement flooding.

Signs that indicate your sewer drain may be clogged and in need of clearing include slow draining sinks or toilets, gurgling noises coming from drains, foul odors coming from drains, water backing up in sinks or toilets, and pooling water around floor drains.
