Basement Waterproofing

Waterproofing is the best and most effective way to prevent future flood damage to your basement. At Rhino Waterproofing, we offer two types of waterproofing services: Interior waterproofing and exterior waterproofing services. Depending on your situation and needs, a Rhino Waterproofing expert will assess which option is best suited for your situation. Interior and exterior waterproofing are somewhat similar in the execution and process of the job, but the results are the same: a sturdy frontline defense against any rain, snow or other water related occurrences that may have previously damaged your basement.

Sump Pump Installation

Making sure that your sump pump system is installed properly is crucial. Sump pumps are designed to collect groundwater from around the foundation and deposit it into a basin. However, if not properly installed, the water will overflow and eventually flood the basement of your home or commercial building. Another concern is that your sump pump may be outdated. Sump pumps are designed to last 10 years. If your sump pump is older than this, it is highly recommended that you considering having a new one installed.

Keep Gutters and Downspouts Clean

Even if your basement has been waterproofed, gutters or downspouts that are cluttered with leaves or other debris will increase the chance of your basement flooding. Although this is a key area of your home, its maintenance is often overlooked or neglected until it’s too late. If your home is surrounded by trees, your gutters and downspouts are even more prone to clogging, so be sure to keep an eye on them so you can avoid having to deal with a flooded basement.
