Recent surveys conducted by the National Association of
Home Builders found that a majority of new home buyers wanted a full basement included in their
new homes.
Today's home buyers are looking for the maximum value in their new homes.
Builders are seeking the most cost effective way to provide high quality,
affordable living space to meet their demands.
Many are discovering the benefits of basements, adding quality living space
below ground at a fraction of above ground costs.
The problem of wet and damp basements has always been a concern to quality builders.
When builders think they are getting waterproofing they are often times only getting dampproofing.
Dampproofing isn't the same as waterproofing Dampproofing at the best is little more than a
vapor barrier. It retards water penetration but will not bridge shrinkage cracks or stop water
leakage under hydrostatic pressure Dampproofing may not be durable, and over time can disappear.
The truth is even with a good drainage system, dampproofing can't assure you of a dry basement wall.
QUICK SEAL offers the new homeowner an affordable alternative to upgrade from traditional
dampproofing to waterproofing.
