Basement Waterproofing Information

Most people aren't entirely sure what to do when it comes to
waterproofing their basement. In fact, it isn't one of the first things
that come to mind, at least until a problem arises. Luckily, there are
various sources of information available, whether it be through the
internet, your library, a home improvement contractor, or even your
local home improvement store employee.

Prior to waterproofing your basement, it's imperative we understand the
"what" and the "why" behind waterproofing. Essentially, waterproofing
your basement refers to preventative measures made that prevents water
from seeping through into your basement. You might not know when it's
necessary to waterproof your basement, but the answer, in a nutshell,
would be any time a structure is built at or below ground level.
Groundwater is pretty much the culprit here. When it builds up in soil
and, consequently, raises the water table, you have two options:
1)Waterproof the structure 2)Drain it. The hydrostatic pressure caused
by the higher water table is what creates the cracks and openings in
your basement, pushing the water against the walls and forcing it
through these weak points. These weak points become stressed over time
and can compromise the overall structure, contribute to mold and mildew
due to the water, and put your entire house at risk, as the walls are a
major supporting structure to your house

There are many ways to prevent water damage from compromising your
basement walls. One way involves using sealers that seal the inside of
your wall and your floor. Drylox and Xypex come to mind when thinking
about some great, solid sealers. You can easily find this at your local
Home Depot or Lowe's. These, however, are only for minor patch ups, and
it's important to note that Drylok is a water proofer not a sealer,
because when you first put it on, it expands to fill the cracks and
dries in order to completely prevent water from coming through. Xypex
acts similar to waterproof concrete and will easily mesh with your
wall.

As stated earlier, those solutions are only for minor fixes, and for
more severe problems, you'll need to understand three types of systems
that tackle your problem differently. The first is a barrier system,
which helps physically block moisture and water from the outside. You
can either have the system put in place on the interior or the exterior
of your walls. The second is a drainage system. A drainage system is
set up so that when water comes close to your basement, it's quickly
collected and diverted from ever coming in contact with your walls. The
last system, but definitely not the least, is called a diversion
system. You can only use these externally, and they are placed on the
roof of the structure so that rainwater will be diverted away from the
house. These systems prevent, drain, and divert water from ever coming
in contact with your basement walls.

When hiring a company to do the work for you, it can be expensive if
you don't know what exactly it is you need. That's why it's important
to do as much research as you can and understand that because of
factors like your house's design, you availability, and, of course,
your budget, what you need for your house and basement varies from
person to person.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
