3 Reasons Why Foundation Waterproofing is Necessary

Caring for your property especially if it’s commercial in nature is a multi-faceted duty. The livelihood of your business and employees’ well-being depends on a structurally sound, and high-functioning workplace. Therefore, it’s pivotal that your commercial building is strong from the ground-up whilst also looking presentable in order to attract prospective clients.

On average, the number of days it rains in Boston is 130.  That’s roughly 4 months in a year! The sheer number of times you’re likely to encounter water problems in the city is a great reason as to why you should take preventive measures rather than invest a fortune in regular commercial property maintenance due to of water damage.  

Read more about the benefits of foundation waterproofing below.

1. It Protects Air Quality

Possibly one of the most pestering outcomes of moisture getting soaked up by your building is that it gives way to mold growth. If you breathe in mold spores, an allergic reaction can be triggered, and hay-fever-like symptoms appear that include eye irritation, sneezing and bouts of cough. Poor health adversely affects employee productivity and safety. So, maintaining indoor air quality and sanitation is important.

2. Lower Energy Bills

Any building that is structurally weak is a blind spot that goes undetected especially in terms of causing energy loss. Moisture that seeps into your workplace walls and roofing contributes to lower indoor temperature. As a result, you end up using heating systems for longer durations. With foundation waterproofing, being able to prevent workspaces from becoming too cold gets easier and you’re able to save more energy!

3. Maintains Appearances

If your property is water-resistant, it stays looking as good as new for a longer period of time. Since water damage can cause discoloration, cracks in the structure, rusting, and paint to chip off, without waterproofing you’ll find yourself scheduling for maintenance more often than should be required under regular circumstances.
