While some creak sealing and basement waterproofing tasks are immune to the effects of the weather, other methods and materials are highly vulnerable to temperature and humidity. The experts at Jaco Waterproofing in Fairfield, OH, explain the best time of year to waterproof your home.

Many basement crack repairs can be done from the inside, so weather may not be an issue. However, in some instances, you'll get better results if you fix the crack from the outside. In that case, rainy weather can make sealing a crack difficult. While high-pressure polyurethane crack injections will work whether the surface is dry or soaking wet, most other materials will not work as well in the rain. So depending on your situation, waterproofing may be best done in the summer when the weather is dry and hot.

On the other hand, sealing concrete from within the basement works best during the winter. This is because the concrete has contracted to its maximum amount, opening any cracks or weaknesses as far as they're going to go. However, excavation work on the exterior can be extremely difficult in the winter. Some foundation repairs can only be performed from the outside, which can be next to impossible during rainy or cold weather when excavation is required. Excavation work is always easiest in the spring and summer, and waterproofing is almost always most effective in dry conditions.
