Concrete problems worsen each season as the lower part of the slab collects water. This can result in soil erosion underneath the concrete, the cracks worsening, and other problems developing as a result. The freeze and thaw of one winter-summer cycle is enough to move and crack entire concrete sidewalks. It's like having a cavity. Before you can repair concrete, you have to know what caused the problem in the first place. After decades of working with cement floors and surfaces, the Vulcan contractors have seen every possible scenario.

Crawl spaces are dark and damp with humidity levels ranging from 50%-90% which provide the ideal environment for mold growth, mildew, insects and rodents. If left untreated, these problems can be difficult to eradicate, causing damage to the property and posing a serious health threat. Engineers and building experts recommend that crawl spaces be encapsulated and waterproofed. This will increase energy efficiency in the home and eliminate problems with moisture, mold and insects. A little over 50% of the air in a typical home originates from the basement or crawl space.

Vulcan's stone flooring is ideally suited for any concrete floor around the house. One of the primary uses of our stone flooring is to permanently cover cracked or ugly concrete garage floors and walkways, entryways and patios. Our all natural stone flooring is the best solution for issues associated with dampness, water, or mold and mildew. Unlike other flooring such as carpet and tiles, our flooring is designed to "breathe" letting moisture from the porous concrete evaporate and thereby eliminating the ability of mold growth.

Basement waterproofing by Vulcan is a science and art that pioneered industry standards. Our methods set the pace with today's complex world of building construction and protective maintenance. Our techniques are as effective for a one-family home as they are for a towering commercial building. When the foundation is built, exterior basement walls are usually encased in tar, membrane and polyethylene film. These barriers will eventually stretch, shrink, crack and admit water. Water in the basement and basement moisture is a fact of life for the homeowner.

Vulcan Waterproofing specializes in basement sump pump systems, but we provide instructions here should you want to attempt to do it yourself. If you are planning a sump pump installation with only a pump and a sump basin, without any other perimeter drainage or French drain in your basement or crawl space, the first thing you should consider is: Can I live with water on the floor? If the answer is yes, then this solution is right for you. Without a drainage system to channel the water to the sump basin, the only way it can get there often requires you to push excess water into the sump basin.
