Darien Basement Waterproofing

Fairfield County Ct.  and especially coastal towns like Darien have an above average amount of ground moisture and wet basements. The combination of rocky soil and close proximity to Long Island Sound means that a tremendous amount of moisture travels underground. Moisture is moved by tremendous pressure and will push right through a concrete foundation wall or floor.

Concrete is porous with airholes and veins that enable moisture pressure to come through floors and walls and end up in the basement. Even though you may not see water, moisture vapor is enough to create water damage, mold and keep your basement cold and damp. This has an impact on the rest of a home or commercial property. Most people take damp basements for granted as if it’s just a fact of life.

There are inexpensive solutions.  The Concrete Store carries an epoxy waterproofer that is applied by roller and brush that stops tons of moisture pressure from coming through walls and floors.  It also significantly reduces radon from penetrating concrete. It comes in gallons for $74.95 with coverage of 100-150 square feet per gallon or about 50-75 cents per square foot.Once applied tile, carpet or hardwood can be installed.

Other solutions are applying a waterproof sealer to concrete and brick foundations that will prevent snow and rain from penetrating concrete.
