WallSeal™ Basement Wall Vapor Barrier

The misconception that damp, musty basements are just an aspect of homeownership is widespread, but such issues can lead to potential health and safety risks. Fortunately, there is an effective remedy available. 

Basement wall vapor barriers, along with additional basement waterproofing solutions, are designed to keep moisture at bay—ensuring a dry basement. Mount Valley Foundation Services, a leader in moisture control, offers the AquaStop WallSeal™ Basement Wall Vapor Barrier to shield your home from potential water damage effectively. 

Read on to gain some invaluable knowledge on permanently resolving your basement’s moisture problems. 

What is the AquaStop WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier? 

AquaStop WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier, with its 12-mil thickness, is a superior-quality barrier crafted to halt moisture infiltration in your basement walls. 

It is securely affixed to the wall, channeling any leakage down to our AquaStop BasementGutter™ interior drainage system, providing immediate respite from damp walls. Being a finish-ready vapor barrier, it forms part of a comprehensive home solution for ideal living conditions. 

Pairing our vapor barrier with other essential waterproofing solutions, such as a sump pump and dehumidifier, results in a well-rounded system that safeguards your property and augments your home’s worth.

Is a Basement Wall Vapor Barrier Necessary? 

Absolutely, incorporating a basement wall vapor barrier is crucial for a thorough basement waterproofing strategy. 

Moisture can infiltrate even seemingly intact basement walls over time due to the porous nature of concrete, leading to “invisible” dampness and the aforementioned issues. 

Addressing this problem promptly prevents further damage and avoids more complex and expensive repairs later on. AquaStop WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier is fundamental in our whole-home solution, ensuring a dry and healthy living environment.

  • Healthier Living: It lowers humidity and stops mold growth, fostering a healthier home. 
  • Odor Elimination: It blocks moisture, eliminating damp, musty smells, especially when used with a dehumidifier. 
  • Property Safety: It keeps your possessions safe from dampness, which can lead to corrosion and damage. 
  • Value Addition: A well-maintained, dry basement can significantly enhance your property value. 

For optimal results, proper installation by our certified technicians at Mount Valley Foundation Services is essential, utilizing proprietary products and methods to assure a dry, healthy basement. 

How the WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier Works 

Upon a thorough inspection by a Mount Valley Foundation Services specialist and determination of the need for the WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier, it is installed alongside other waterproofing solutions. The installation process includes: 

  • Wall Cleaning and Preparation 
  • Secure Attachment of WallSeal™ Sheets 
  • Interior Drainage and Component Installation 
  • Sump Pump Placement at the Lowest Basement Point 
  • Connection of Interior Drainage to the Sump Pump 
  • Basement Dehumidifier Installation 
  • Here’s how the complete system functions: 
  • Water leaking through the walls is directed by WallSeal™ to the drainage system. 
  • The water in the drains is channeled into the sump pump. 
  • The sump pump then expels the collected water. 
  • Lastly, any residual moisture is removed by the dehumidifier. 

When installed by Mount Valley Foundation Services, you can trust in a professional installation.
