Charlie Hill of Great Lakes Waterproofing Addresses Basement Waterproofing Misconceptions in HelloNation
Great Lakes Waterproofing
What do homeowners often misunderstand about keeping basements dry? Charlie Hill of Great Lakes Waterproofing provides expert insight in a HelloNation feature that dispels widespread myths about basement moisture control. Hill explains that water damage often stems not from dramatic flooding, but from slow, persistent intrusion through foundation cracks that appear insignificant to the untrained eye.
Hill points out that many homeowners rely on interior solutions like sealants or sump pumps, but these approaches merely treat the symptoms after water has already entered the structure. True long-term protection, he says, begins with exterior waterproofing solutions. This includes excavation, sealing of foundation walls, and installation of French drains or similar systems that redirect groundwater before it can reach the basement.
The article also emphasizes that waterproofing is not a one-time fix. Continued attention to site grading, gutter maintenance, and exterior drainage is essential to prevent future damage. Hill underscores that effective basement waterproofing protects not only the home’s lower level, but also its structural integrity and indoor air quality. The full article, What Most People Get Wrong About Basement Waterproofing, offers a detailed overview of how to approach moisture prevention strategically.
