Basement Waterproofing

Water in the basement: every homeowner’s nightmare.
Whether you’re facing damage from leaks or flooding or want to prevent these issues from happening, you’re in the right place.

Basement waterproofing is the process of preventing water from entering a basement or other below-grade structure. Waterproofing a basement can be a difficult task, as there are many potential entry points for water. A professional waterproofing contractor will be able to identify and correct any deficiencies in your home’s drainage system that may lead to water infiltration.

What are Waterproofing Systems?

Waterproofing systems are the methods and materials used to prevent water from entering a structure to keep your home dry. There are many different waterproofing systems, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some standard waterproofing systems include coatings, sealants, and drainage systems. Choosing the right system for your application is important, as not all systems are appropriate for all environments.

Learn About Our Waterproofing Services

We offer a variety of cost-effective waterproofing services.

Basement Coatings

Coatings are thin films applied to the surface of a structure to repel water. They can be either clear or opaque and are typically made from acrylics, silicone, or epoxy. Coatings can be applied to both vertical and horizontal surfaces and can be used on various materials, including concrete.

Basement Sealants

Basement sealants are similar to coatings in that they are applied to the surface of a structure to repel water. The thick layer will help keep water out and provide you with an easy-to-clean floor and walls.

Drainage Systems

Drainage systems are installed beneath the surface of a structure to collect and remove water that has entered the basement or other below-grade space. They typically consist of a network of pipes and a sump pump and can be used on various materials, including concrete, masonry, wood, and metal.

Basement Wall

Basement walls are one of the most common entry points for water infiltration. The right basement waterproofing company can seal your walls to keep your basement dry.

Crawl Space

If you have water coming in through this section in your basement, you may need a crawl space repair, and some locations require a healthy crawl space certificate.

Sump Pump Installation

A sump pump is an essential part of any interior basement waterproofing system. Sump pumps will remove any water that has entered your basement and prevent it from causing damage. We can install a pump and sump pit to properly drain your basement and keep it dry.

Exterior Basement Waterproofing

One of the best ways to waterproof your basement is to make sure water is diverted away from your foundation. A professional waterproofing contractor can install a drainage system and perform a foundation repair to keep moisture away.

Health Concerns

A healthy home is vital for all residents. Protect yourself and your family by making sure you don’t have any of these issues that come with having a wet basement!

Mold Growth

Mold is a common issue when it comes to damp or wet basements. Not only is mold unsightly, it can also cause health problems for you and your family.

Insect Infestation

Damp basements provide the perfect environment for insects to thrive. If you have a wet basement, you may find an infestation of ants, termites, or other pests. In some instances, your space may develop enough damage to require foundation repairs.

Musty Odors

A healthy basement doesn’t smell bad. Although odors may not be dangerous to your health, they are often a symptom of a bigger problem like rot or mold.
