Why Installing Basement Waterproofing and Radon Mitigation Together is a Smart Move

Protecting your home’s foundation and air quality doesn’t have to be a hassle. By installing Standard Water Control Systems’ basement waterproofing and radon mitigation solutions as part of the same project, you can save time, money, and effort—all while ensuring long-term peace of mind. Here’s why combining these two upgrades is an efficient and effective choice for homeowners. 

Why Address Both Issues at Once? 

Many basements face two major challenges—moisture intrusion and radon exposure, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin where radon levels are some of the highest in the country. Basement waterproofing helps keep your home dry and protects the structural integrity of your foundation, while radon mitigation ensures the air you breathe is safe by reducing harmful radon gas levels. 

For homeowners looking to resolve these concerns, tackling them together offers a variety of compelling benefits. 

1. Save Money with a Unified Approach 

When you combine basement waterproofing and radon mitigation into a single project, you’ll enjoy some cost savings. Here’s how:

  • Fewer Labor Costs: Instead of hiring separate crews for each system, bundling them reduces overall labor costs. 
  • Efficiency in Mobilization: Contractors only need to set up once, reducing mobilization fees and time for preparation.
  • Streamlined Process: Both systems can be planned and installed in tandem, avoiding duplicated efforts. 

Separating these installations can quickly add up, but doing it all at once lets you protect your home without breaking the bank. 

2. Minimize Disruption to Your Life 

Home improvement projects often disrupt your normal routine. From endless noise to the sight and clutter of tools, the process can be intrusive. By combining waterproofing and radon mitigation, you cut down on the overall project timeline, meaning:

  • Less time spent coordinating contractor schedules. 
  • Fewer construction days interrupting your home life. 
  • A quicker return to enjoying a clean, upgraded space. 

It’s faster, simpler, and reduces the everyday hassle of managing separate installations. 

3. Get a Comprehensive Solution 

When you address both water intrusion and radon exposure at the same time, you’re creating a healthier and more secure environment for your family. Why? Because Standard Water’s solutions are complementary and interconnected. 

4. Achieve Long-Term Protection 

Pairing waterproofing with radon mitigation ensures your home gets long-term protection from two of the most common issues basements face. Standard Water Control Systems uses durable, high-quality materials and proven techniques, giving you peace of mind for years to come. 

  • Waterproofing: Prevents moisture damage, mold growth, and foundation issues. 
  • Radon Mitigation: Continuously reduces harmful radon gas levels, ensuring better air quality. 

Together, these upgrades provide a more stable, safe, and comfortable living environment for your household. Especially if you plan to have family members living in your lowest level.

5. Boost Your Home’s Value 

Proactive maintenance is more than just practical—it’s also a savvy investment. Future buyers will see these installations as valuable upgrades, signaling that your home is well cared for. A property with a dry basement and safer air quality stands out in the housing market, potentially increasing your home’s resale value.
