Don't think twice. Stone flooring has the ability to transform your old concrete floor into a beautiful, safe and breathing space for the whole family. It permanently covers discoloration and uneven surfaces.<br />
<br />
Looking back, the art of stone flooring reached its new height of innovation during the Roman Empire. It’s believed heated floors were used in wealthy homes throughout the life of the empire.</div>

In fact, if you visit our Headquarters, you would be amazed at the number of "thank you" letters and notes covering our walls. We don't need wallpaper :)<br />
<br />
Here is one of the latest:<br />
<br />
<i>"I would recommend Vulcan to anyone who I knew who was looking to have their basement waterproofed. We actually used Vulcan because my grandparents used Vulcan about 20 years ago to do the basement; at the time they only did half of the basement, which is why we had the whole thing done this time. It was very nice to hear that the guy who did our basement in 2012 was the same guy who worked on the basement the first time, its great that Vulcan is a company that keeps its good employees around for numbers of years."</i><br />

Mold is natural and exists almost everywhere
indoors or out. Mold thrives in damp and humid environments. Molds are fungi and
as they grow they release spores into the air, which when inhaled, can make
people sick. When molds metabolize, they release microbial volatile organic
compounds (MVOCs). MVOCs are gases which are basically the waste product
produced by mold as it grows, which can irritate the eyes, the respiratory
system, and cause very unpleasant odors in the basement and in the upper levels
of the home.<br />
<br />
Mold spores may get into your home through open doorways,
windows, heating, and air conditioning systems with outdoor air intakes. Spores
in the air outside also attach themselves to clothing, shoes, bags, and pets.
Once a mold spore drops on places where there is excessive moisture, such as
many basements, they will grow. Wet cellulose materials, including paper and
paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood, and wood products encourage many
types of mold to grow. Other materials such as dust, paint, wallpaper,
insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery, easily support the growth
of mold.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Why is exposure to mold a problem?</b></i> <br />
Mold
exposure can cause quite a variety of symptoms, especially allergic reactions
such as sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and itching watery eyes — even skin
irritations. Molds often trigger asthma attacks and can cause serious problems
for people with weakened immune systems, such as a variety of infections. Many
of the molds most typically found indoors are capable of producing mycotoxins
under the right conditions.<br />
<br />
Mold gradually destroys the things it grows
on.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Most common indoor molds</b></i>
<br />
Penicillium<br />
Cladosporium<br />
Aspergillus<br />
Alternaria<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>How
to get rid of mold</b></i> <br />
Mold growth can be slowed down by keeping
humidity levels below 55%. The use of dehumidifiers and air conditioners will
make a huge difference.<br />
<br />
A number of commercial and natural products can
be used to remove mold from hard surfaces.<br />
<br />
Use exhaust fans and proper
ventilation in the home and especially in the basement.<br />
<br />
Clean bathrooms
and kitchens with mold killing products.<br />
<br />
Don’t use carpeting in bathrooms
and basements – ever.<br />
<br />
<i><b>What is the difference between mold and
mildew?</b></i> <br />
Mold and mildew are both fungi and their spores are always
flying through the air. Basements often provide perfect growing conditions for
both as they thrive in humid, damp conditions. Mildew is commonly gray or white.
Mold is usually black, red, green, brown, or a combination of these
colors.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Musty basement odor</b></i> <br />
Mildew is famous for
causing that familiar musty basement odor. Getting rid of mold and mildew, along
with installing some type of <b>basement ventilation system</b>, will help stop
the odor but most important is getting rid of what is causing the mold and
mildew — the moisture in the basement. If your basement continually gets wet,
you likely need to have a <b>French drain</b> or <b>pressure relief system</b>
installed.<br />

thrive in moist, damp and stale environments.<br /><br /><i>Toxic Chemicals</i> that
become vapors from paint, household cleaners and solvents, glues and adhesives
found in any number of items in the home or business, aerosols, paint,
pesticides, and chemicals used in some carpeting and upholstery
fabrics.<br /><br /><i>Allergens</i> including pet dander, dust mites, and
pollen.<br /><br /><i>Mold and Mildew</i> which thrive in damp or moist
environments. The spores released by mold can be toxic and mold and mildew, as
it grows, slowly destroys anything it grows on.<br /><br /><i>Moisture is the
biggest problem</i> as it causes the growth of mold and mildew, structural
damage to the building, feeds bacteria, and creates a health
hazard.<br /><br />Installing a <i>high quality ventilation system</i> such as the
<b>EZ Breathe</b> System, will remove excess contaminated air from your home or
business and expel mold spores and the gases created by mold. By exchanging the
damp stale air with fresh air, indoor air pollution will be reduced and odors
will be expelled.<br /><br />Waterproofing the basement and installing a high
quality basement ventilation system which draws air down from the upper levels
and out through the lowest point in your home is the best investment you can
make to preserve and improve the value of your home or business and safeguard
the health of your family.<br /><br />Contact us for a FREE home inspection by a

Whether your basement is flooded or seems free and clear of wet basement
problems, invite in a <b>Vulcan Basement Waterproofing</b> specialist for a free
home inspection. An expert inspection before investing in basement remodeling is
good preventive medicine. And, it provides you the assurance that you will have
a dry basement long after the remodeling is completed and the time and money
spent. <br /><br />Vulcan responds promptly and at your convenience;<wbr></wbr> we are on
call year-round to answer your <b>basement waterproofing</b> needs. The Vulcan
professional will check every inch of your basement. All significant findings
will then be discussed in detail. You will be clearly informed of the causes
behind all signs of water damage. You will also learn the implications of minor
danger signs that normally escape the untrained eye. The outside of your home
will also be checked.<br /><br />Your Vulcan expert will explore for defects in your
below-ground foundation walls – for cracks and crevices that admit subsurface
water causing a wet basement.<br /><br />Any of the following conditions could
promote decay that might, in time, force you to replace foundation walls and
floors:<br /><br />- Poor soil conditions around walls, caused by construction
workers who backfilled the surrounding area with soil containing broken concrete
or timber. The result: pockets filled with water that exert pressure against
walls.<br /><br />- Hydrostatic effects from water buildup whose constant pressure
eventually leads to water penetration.<br /><br />- Capillarity within porous walls
and floors that absorb water from the surrounding soil.<br /><br />- High water
table, resulting from underground water which rises with rain, snow or the
tides.<br /><br />- Below-grade cracks and voids in building foundations and walls
expose your home to yet another peril. They are avenues for invading armies of
termites and insects on the attack.<br /><br />Your free Vulcan Basement
Waterproofing survey/analysis offers you an opportunity to find exactly how
damaging the water along your foundation has become. You may confidently base
your decision on the detailed estimate we leave in your hands.<br /><br />In
choosing Vulcan, you’ll find our techniques remarkably quick and efficient. We
control water seepage completely – at the source – without excavating or
injuring your plantings, lawn, sidewalk or driveway. Our teams are professional
and respectful of you and your home and clean up the area after the work has
been completed.<br /><br />Let Vulcan Basement Waterproofing put an end to your wet
basement problems. No job is too large or too small for our teams of trained
technicians. And the result is a safe, usable, dry basement.<br /><br />Call today

Even if you have never had water in the basement before, understand that any number of years can pass before a rainstorm might add just enough pressure to force water into your basement. Simply having excess moisture in your basement can slowly cause structural damage or lead to mold or mildew which also can cause structural damage over time.

How To Check For Basement Water Damage</h2>
Leaking basements or basement water seepage is a condition that must be arrested as soon as possible, or you could eventually face huge bills for repairing or replacing foundations, walls and floors. What’s more, water in your basement poses health and electrical hazards. It needn’t happen if you stay alert.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Obvious danger signs of basement water damage</h2>
Check carefully for the appearance of any of these 8 major danger signs that suggest your basement is being damaged by water.<br />
<ul>
<li>Wet spots on the basement walls</li>
<li>Cracked walls in basement or crawl spaces</li>
<li>Cracked floors</li>
<li>Efflorescence</li>
<li>Peeling paint</li>
<li>Warped paneling</li>
<li>Fungus, rot, <a href="http://www.vulcanwaterproofing.com/mold_mildew.htm" target="_blank">mold and mildew</a></li>
<li>Insects and bugs</li>
</ul>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
A More Detailed Inspection for Basement Water Damage</h2>
Even if none of the above problems seem to exist, continue with a more detailed inspection of your basement walls.<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Poured concrete walls</strong><br />efflorescence (a whitish powder) could indicate seepage and porosity that tend to worsen.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Wall surfaces</strong><br />Search for vertical or horizontal cracks. Some may have fully penetrated the wall, opening routes for water entry – depending on local water table and soil conditions.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Construction joints</strong><br />Explore for openings where basement walls and floors meet. Such gaps can admit water and insects, as well as lead to cracked floors.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Mortar joints</strong><br />Inspect mortar joints especially around below-grade piping and conduits when leakage appears, your floor space could be rendered unsafe for storage, carpeting or laundering use.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Structural points</strong><br />Examine corners where frames butt against foundation walls. These junctures are often uneven, resulting in gaps.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Efflorescence</strong><br />The appearance of efflorescence warns that basement water seepage is threatening your foundations and that cracks will endanger your basement floors.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Water pipes</strong><br />Check your pipes for excessive condensation.</li>
<br />
<li><strong>Masonry block walls</strong><br />Look for signs of staining in the block closest to the basement floor. This could mean water is building up inside the wall and deteriorating the block’s integrity.</li>
</ul>

Read more about how this makes your home much more comfortable year-round.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Home Basements</b><br />
<br />
When an <a href="http://www.vulcanwaterproofing.com/ez_breathe_ventilation_system.htm">E•Z Breathe</a>® unit is installed and operating in the basement, the moist, cool air is drawn into the bottom of the unit by a quietly powerful fan and then expelled. This creates an area of decreased pressure at the lower level and causes the warmer, drier air from the upper levels to be drawn downstairs. This is ideal for drying out basements and crawlspaces. The direct effect of the air being expelled and the downward flow of air into the basement or crawlspace creates an air exchange in the house that is six to ten times higher than that of the average home.<br />
<br />
<b>In the Summer</b><br />
<br />
Basements typically have poor ventilation. They also are cooler. This results in higher relative humidity, which results in mold.<br />
<br />
<b>What's that smell?</b><br />
<br />
That musty smell is the gases that are expelled by mold during its life cycle. The smell is a clear indication that you have live mold colonies in your home. Mold needs moisture. Control the moisture and the mold goes with it. Enter E•Z Breathe.<br />
<br />
E•Z Breathe draws the drier, better air from upstairs and uses it to condition the basement. You control the environment upstairs to achieve a comfortable environment. What is comfortable for you is good for the structure, and bad for mold and dust mites. Ideally you want to maintain a humidity level between 30% and 50% year round - throughout your home.<br />
<br />
In addition, by reducing the overall moisture level in the home, you also reduce the workload on your air conditioning system.<br />
<br />
To achieve the same level of dehumidification with a dehumidifier you would need several dehumidifiers which will cost you $20 to $30/month for each dehumidifier. And you still won't be getting air exchanges.<br />
<br />
E•Z Breathe is the “one two punch” on mold - it not only reduces the moisture that mold needs to survive, it also expels the mold gases (that smell) and mold spores (what makes you sneeze) out of your home. Incidentally, if uncontrolled, the mold gases and spores are often spread throughout your home by your furnace. Now you know why you often get sick the first time you run your furnace in the fall/winter.<br />
<br />
Another benefit to moisture control is insect control. Ask any exterminator, and they'll tell you that if you eliminate moisture, bugs and the things that eat bugs go with the moisture.<br />
<br />
<b>In the Winter</b><br />
<br />
In the winter two of the most common problems that E•Z Breathe is designed and proven to improve are:<br />
<br />
1. Condensation on windows.<br />
2. Losing heat through the roof.<br />
<br />
<b>Condensation on windows</b><br />
<br />
You tighten up your home with better windows and/or insulation - and with the first frost you have condensation on your windows. You call the window company, and they are going to tell you that condensation is caused by too much moisture and lack of ventilation.<br />
<br />
E•Z Breathe is the proven answer - lower the overall humidity by exhausting excess water out of the home, and move the air better with the ventilation system that is working in 40,000 homes right now! Problem solved.<br />
<br />
<b>Lost heat</b><br />
<br />
E•Z Breathe owners experience not only better moisture control and better air quality, but also better heating bills. Why?<br />
<br />
1. Damp, dirty air takes more energy to heat and shortens the life expectancy of the furnace. E•Z Breathe controls the moisture.<br />
<br />
2. By creating a slight negative pressure at the lowest level - E•Z Breathe draws the heat back down into the living area, thus reversing (to a certain extent) the natural rising of heat that results in the loss of heat through the roof. E•Z Breathe won't completely eliminate heat loss, but it will make a noticeable difference in your home and in your life.<br />
<br />
3. In addition, because the E•Z Breathe system is controlled by a humidistat, as soon as you have achieved the desired humidity level (30 - 50%), it turns off. Therefore when it detects the heated dry air, it turns off, and doesn't expel your heat.<br />
<br />
We've never had a customer experience a net heating bill increase after putting in an E•Z Breathe. Most customers experience a reduced heating bill. And we have E•Z Breathe installed in Alaska, and throughout Canada.<br />
<br />
But wait - you say - I humidify during the winter! Right, often times homeowners humidify in the winter, and usually too much of that moisture ends up on the windows, and in the basement. E•Z Breathe will distribute your humid air more evenly throughout the home. Set the humidifier and the E•Z Breathe at the same level - say 35%, and achieve a healthy level throughout your home.<br />
<br />
The E•Z Breathe process helps to prevent and decrease mold and mildew by not allowing the moist air to condense onto cool surfaces or become stagnant. Gases and pollutants that have built up in the home are expelled and replaced with fresh air.<br />

<br />
For over 60 years, the name “<strong>Vulcan Basement Waterproofing</strong>” has been synonymous with quality basement waterproofing at an affordable price. We are not carpenters, exterminators, roofers, or have any other sidelines. We specialize in one thing and one thing only... “Basement Waterproofing”.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.vulcanbasementwaterproofingpa.com/">Vulcan Basement Waterproofing of Pennsylvania</a>'s headquarters is located in NE Philadelphia and has been in the same building for over 25 years. We have been locally serving homeowners and businesses with specialists in South Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Delaware, and throughout the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys continuously since 1976. We are wholly owned and operated, never subcontract work regardless of how busy we are, and we carry general liability and workman’s compensation insurance with higher limits than required by law for your protection.<br />
<br />
These points are important because, while the uninsured, unlicensed contractor may charge a lower (or higher) price, they aren't committed enough to their business to invest in it properly and, as a result, aren't likely to be motivated to do a good job. In addition, since they don't take their business seriously enough to be licensed or insured and employ their own people, they may not intend to be around very long. Not a good prospect if anything should go wrong down the road. Many of our employees have been with us for 20+ years, which gives us the ability to say we have “Hundreds of Years Experience” in basement waterproofing.<br />

<br />
<strong>Vulcan Basement Waterproofing</strong> of Flushing, Inc. started waterproofing basements in the <strong>New York</strong> Metropolitan area in 1959. When we first arrived on the scene, there was no company listed in the yellow pages for basement waterproofing; in fact, there was no listing whatsoever in the Yellow Pages for "basement waterproofing".<br />
<br />
Thankfully for the people of metropolitan New York, Vulcan was able to change that!<br />
<br />
In the early and mid 1960 we operated out of a store front on Parsons Blvd in Jamaica, Queens. The demand for our basement waterproofing services began to steadily increase, as more and more people began to realize the importance of having a dry basement and what it did for the resale value of their homes.<br />
<br />
During our early years of waterproofing basements, Vulcan Basement Waterproofing was the first company to install French drains on a regular basis. The need for this became more apparent as our experience waterproofing of homes in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island and Connecticut proved that you could not stop water.<br />
<br />
We concluded that in order to completely guarantee basement repairs we would need to deal with all or any kind of seepage by taking the pressure off the foundation. As a result, French drains became a big part of our business, but more importantly inspired us to develop our patented method, called "The Vulcan Pressure Relief System".<br />
<br />
Once we discovered this revolutionary way to do basement waterproofing, Vulcan Basement Waterproofing expanded its operation to other areas on the East coast such as: Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, and much of New England.<br />
<br />
In 1969, Vulcan Basement Waterproofing moved its regional headquarters taking up an entire block on 76-28 Parsons Blvd . The relocation allowed <a href="http://www.vulcanbasementwaterproofingny.com/">Vulcan Basement Waterproofing of New York</a> to fulfill the basement waterproofing demands of its ever increasing customer base.<br />
<br />
We are now celebrating our 50th year in the same location, and can proudly say that we have waterproofed over 20,000 homes in the New York Metropolitan area.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to contact us at any of our regional locations, and discover some of the wonders of service Vulcan Basement Waterproofing of New York has to offer to homeowners who have basement water problems.<br />
