Webinar Details
Join Fernando Pagés Ruiz, Guy de Verges, Lance Lang, and Andrew Zoellner in this roundtable seminar discussing basement waterproofing methods for old homes on March 9th, 2022, at 7 pm…
Water and moisture problems are common in many basements, but if you’ve lived in a pre-1950s home with a concrete-block or natural-stone foundation, you may know those problems better than most. In this webinar, our panelists will discuss mitigating moisture and waterproofing issues in basements and crawlspaces.
In this roundtable seminar, you will learn:
- Methods for stopping water outside, before it penetrates your enclosure
- How to direct and distribute water when it does get inside
- Practices for sealing your basement or crawlspace so it doesn’t introduce moisture to the rest of the home
