Water Proofing

It is essential to waterproof your house, ensuring that the interior areas, from the roof to the basement, remain dry. Water infiltration can lead to damages such as insect infestation, mold growth, and, in the worst cases, building failures. Waterproofing the house before construction can prevent these issues, avoiding potential harm in the future.
