Don't underestimate how important basement waterproofing is. Once it gets damp down there it can seep into your house and make the ground floor pretty damp too. It's money well spent, so do it if you haven't done so already.

It is so important to check for waterproofing when you buy a new home. I didn't do this (I never even knew about it to be honest) and when the weather turned cooler I really paid the price. The basement was so wet that I didn't even want to go down there. Last year I got my basement waterproofed and I have never looked back, it's like having a new room I can use.

Waterproofing a basement always sounded like a lot of hard work for very little results so I did nothing with mine. I regretted it when I went to get some boxes full of old photos and mementos that I had put down there for just a few weeks, they were soaked through. I've booked an appointment to get my basement seen to so this doesn't happen again.

Never even thought about waterproofing from the outside as well as from the inside. I am taking note of this tip and will be using it when I get some time off work. I store things in the basement and need it to be as dry as possible. I really appreciate the help on this one.

I was thinking about waterproofing my own basement, but it sounds a little tricky. I am in New York, so I'm going to give the company you recommended a call and see if they can help me. I don't want to pay the cost of water damage as I have experienced this before and it was horrendous.
