Basement Waterproofing for Byron homeowners
The sand around Byron takes water in fast, which fools people into thinking drainage is not an issue. It is, just deeper down. Below the loose upper soil the profile tightens and water stops moving, and near Big Indian Creek and the low ground off Highway 49 the level sits high enough to reach a basement wall.
Basements are uncommon in Peach County, so the ones we work on are usually in larger homes or on lots with enough fall that a builder saw an opportunity. Those walls are typically block, and block takes water through the joints and the pores long before any crack appears.
We work from the inside because it is less disruptive and it addresses the water that is already at the footing. Perimeter drain tile collects it, a sump moves it out with a discharge that runs well clear of the foundation, and cracks and cold joints get sealed. If the grade or the gutters are contributing we handle that part outside. Everything gets photographed and priced in writing first.
Byron homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
