There are three basic ways to keeping a modular home basement<\/strong> dry, from the simple and inexpensive to the complicated and pricey. More often than not, the best option falls in between these solutions.<\/p>\n

Modular Home Basement Waterproofing Paints<\/h3>\n

Modular home basement<\/a> needs waterproofing paints or other sealants to have a dry wall and floor. Waterproofing paints are inexpensive and efficient when rolled into the basement walls and floor. Following the manufacturer’s instructions ensures that condensation and minor leaks are solved by these paints. Waterproofing paints are not made to answer serious and persistent basement issues. They can be flake and peel following an increased hydrostatic pressure behind the paint, leaving you to apply another coat.<\/p>\n

Exterior Modular Home Basement\u00a0Waterproofing<\/h3>\n

Another way to keep the basement of a modular home dry is to implement the exterior waterproofing technique. Though effective, solving the problem from the outside is expensive and upsetting. You will need to dig around the entire foundation to commence the maintenance and repair process. Once the walls are in the open, the waterproofing membrane is placed to seal the basement walls. Waterproofing membrane<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a product that keeps the basement wall from outside destruction. To full secure the modular home basement\u00a0from disruptive water, a drainage system is put along the footing.\u00a0Water is then diverted away from the sealed basement walls.<\/p>\n

Interior Drainage System<\/h3>\n

Seen as the best choice for basement waterproofing, interior drainage system<\/a> is a simple and less expensive method. An interior drainage system is more effective than the waterproofing paints. They can be installed to extreme structural problems of the modular home basement. Interior waterproofing\u00a0is also cheaper compared to the exterior waterproofing as no major digging is required. Often a trench is being dug around the interior basement wall, and a drain that is attached to the sump pit is installed.<\/p>\n
