Postponing repairs or ignoring these signs could escalate and result in severe structural and health concerns; hence, immediate professional intervention from Ohio Basement Systems is crucial.

The Necessity of a Basement Wall Vapor Barrier

Integrating a basement wall vapor barrier is vital for an all-encompassing basement waterproofing resolution.

Even seemingly intact basement walls can succumb to moisture due to porous concrete allowing water vapor transmission. Addressing these unseen moisture issues as soon as they appear can prevent further damage and costly repairs in the future.

How the WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier Works

After a thorough inspection by Ohio Basement Systems’ experts, the WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier and our other proprietary basement waterproofing solutions may be recommended.

Our certified crews install the system in a few key steps:

Clean and prepare basement walls.
Adhere durable WallSeal™ sheets to fit the length and width of your basement walls.
Install an interior drainage system and remaining components.
Determine the basement’s lowest point and install a sump pump system.
Connect interior drains to the sump pump.
Add an energy-efficient basement dehumidifier.

Here is how the fully integrated system works to keep your basement dry:

If moisture seeps in through cracks, it runs behind the WallSeal™ barrier.
WallSeal™ then directs water into the interior drains.
The drains carry water to the sump pump basin.
Our powerful sump pump ejects water outside.
The dehumidifier keeps air moisture-free

FAQs

Can a vapor barrier solve all my basement moisture problems?

While a vapor barrier is highly effective in preventing wall moisture, it is best used with other waterproofing solutions like sump pumps, interior drainage systems, and dehumidifiers to address overall basement moisture problems, including floor leaks and high humidity levels. Contact Ohio Basement Systems to learn more and schedule a free inspection and estimate.

Is there a difference in quality among various vapor barriers?

The quality of vapor barriers can vary. Many big-box stores offer DIY solutions like 6-mil or 10-mil vapor barriers, which are too thin and cannot properly address moisture. It is essential to choose a high-quality, durable barrier like WallSeal™ provided by Ohio Basement Systems for superior protection against moisture and a comprehensive warranty. Contact us for a free inspection and estimate.

Does a vapor barrier require maintenance?

While vapor barriers are generally low maintenance, we recommend periodic inspections to ensure the barrier remains intact and effective. Ohio Basement Systems offers annual maintenance plans to check and maintain the vapor barrier and other waterproofing components. Contact us today to learn more and schedule an appointment.
