SERVPRO Can Help You Protect Your Home from Storm Damage

Your Nashville home experiences all kinds of severe weather throughout the year, and protecting your home from all that could happen can feel insurmountable at times. However, there are approaches that you can take to keep seemingly insignificant problems from turning into substantial problems and disasters in the future.

One such thing is waterproofing the basement of your Nashville home. You might think that this is one of those optional choices that might or might not help you to avoid instances of flooding or water penetration that provides the right conditions for mold growth. In truth, you would only be partly correct. While it is an optional choice for reinforcing the structural integrity and strength of your homes foundation walls, it is very much a process that can prevent severe emergencies and costly restorations later on.

This waterproofing is something that our SERVPRO professionals get specially trained to do, ensuring that every home we enter gets the same level of dedication and quality. From the moment that we arrive at your home, we begin an assessment of the current state of the foundation walls of your basement to see the condition of each area. This inspection can give us a better understanding of which spots require more dedicated effort and attention to achieve the same result around the entire basement wall.

The process itself involves sealing up the entirety of the wall using roll-on materials and reinforcing vulnerable areas of the basement with hydraulic cement. Our overall process depends on the needs that your particular home has, but might also include grading the floors to direct water to a sump pump to be installed or installing gutters or drain systems to divert water away from the basement.

If you have been thinking about how to preserve and protect your home from storm damage threats that could come at any time, basement waterproofing is a serious consideration to make. This process is a specialty of our SERVPRO of South Nashville team, and we can have you ready to face whatever the wind might blow in. Give us a call today at (615) 331-0200.
