The AFS Repair Process
Basement Problem Signs in Knoxville
In Knoxville, water damage is more likely to occur during the rain season, usually from late March to late August. If water damage does occur in your basement, the problem signs are relatively easy to notice. Keep an eye out for mold, wet stairs, or standing water in your basement. These are red flags that your basement is suffering from excess moisture.
Even problem signs that don’t seem as serious, like condensation or efflorescence are the beginning stages of more intense water damage. These issues will only get worse over time so it’s always a good idea to contact AFS for a free home inspection before problems spiral.
What are the Causes of Basement Damage in Knoxville?
Your basement experiences water damage for a number of reasons. Although the issues could be from an internal source (like plumbing floods or improper construction), they usually stem from Knoxville’s wet, humid weather. On average, Knoxville receives 50 inches of rain per year. That’s well above the national average of 28 inches.
High rainfall combined with hot, humid weather, means the ground around your basement stays moist nearly all year-round. Water collects next to your basement walls and puts pressure on the structure. This causes wall and floor cracks, providing water with easy access into your basement. Eventually, your basement is being damaged by leaking water coming from the outside.
Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Knoxville
Every home is unique, so each requires a customized repair option for their specific issues. This is why our team at AFS provides custom repair plans for each home and situation. Depending on the type of damage your basement has sustained, we might install a basement drain system, an energy-efficient dehumidifier, a cutting-edge sump pump system, or basement wall vapor barrier. All our products are manufactured in the USA and come with long-lasting, nationally backed warranties.
Regardless of the repair option selected, we do our best to ensure the repair process is hassle-free. Our installers treat your home as if it were their own. Using plastic sheeting to protect your basement belongings from dust and plastic floor protection to cover areas where work will be done.
