The Spokane area’s reputation for heavy rainfall and wet winters makes basement waterproofing an essential investment for homeowners. Whether you live in Spokane, Spokane Valley, or any of the surrounding towns, moisture problems are a common issue—even in homes without visible leaks.

SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Spokane area’s reputation for heavy rainfall and wet winters makes basement waterproofing an essential investment for homeowners. Whether you live in Spokane, Spokane Valley, or any of the surrounding towns, moisture problems are a common issue—even in homes without visible leaks. Water vapor from the ground can seep through unsealed concrete floors, leading to efflorescence, mold growth, and compromised air quality.
The Threat of Hidden Moisture
The damp climate of the Spokane area amplifies the natural process of moisture vapor transmission (MVT). This occurs when water vapor moves through porous concrete, leaving behind telltale white salt deposits known as efflorescence. Over time, this constant exposure to moisture creates the ideal conditions for mold to thrive, impacting both your home’s structure and your family’s health.
Even if your basement seems dry, the effects of hidden moisture can add up. Persistent dampness weakens the integrity of your concrete floor, making it more prone to cracking and deterioration. Moisture infiltration can also allow radon gas, a naturally occurring health hazard, to enter your home.
Comprehensive Epoxy Solutions
Our waterproofing basements process provides an effective, long-term solution for Spokane area homeowners. It begins with grinding the basement floor to open the surface and ensure proper adhesion. Once the space is prepped, a moisture-mitigating epoxy flooring system is installed. The seamless, multi-layered epoxy flooring creates a durable barrier that stops MVT, prevents efflorescence, and strengthens the concrete.
This epoxy coating doesn’t just protect against moisture; it also reinforces the floor, making it more resilient against wear and damage over time. It’s an investment that enhances both the functionality and longevity of your basement.
