Ways to waterproof your basement from the inside
Basement waterproofing paint
To strengthen your basement waterproofing, you can apply waterproof paint to interior walls after exterior waterproofing. This is an inexpensive and effective method but will only work if you have strong protection from the outside. It can be a DIY project (do it yourself) or done by a professional. Surprisingly, it only costs USD to USD per square foot. Waterproof paint, however, can cost USD for five gallons. The volume of paint needed will depend mainly on the size of the surface and the porosity of the walls.
The epoxy crack injection repair
If there’s cracks in your basement after exterior waterproofing, you can choose the epoxy crack injection method. Injecting an epoxy material into wall crevices can restore the pre-cracked state of concrete without increasing its strength. For every crack as wide as 3/10cm epoxy injection can cost between USD and USD
If your area experiences frequent freezes and thaws, you will need additional support by reinforcements on the foundation of the exterior wall. Epoxy injection is beneficial in drier climates, as colder climates produce more cracks on the walls, resulting in more epoxy injection repairs.
