We give you a written estimate and a straightforward plan (interior, exterior, or both) with no hidden fees.

3

You get a dry basement and peace of mind

The outcome: a basement that stays dry. No more leaks, no more stress when it storms, and a warranty so you're covered. We install it right, on schedule, and clean up so you get the result you wanted.

Risks of waiting or cutting corners

Every Month You Wait Costs More to Fix

Skipping waterproofing or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to:

  • Recurring leaks and water damage that get worse over time
  • Mold and mildew that affect your family's health and air quality
  • Foundation cracks and structural issues that cost far more to fix later
  • Wasted money on band-aid fixes or contractors who don't stand behind their work

Common questions

What to Know Before You Waterproof

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

Cost depends on the size of your basement and whether we use interior systems, exterior waterproofing, or both. We give free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what you're investing in.

How long does basement waterproofing take?

Most projects are done in 1-3 days. Interior work is usually faster; exterior work may take a bit longer. We'll give you a timeline when we provide your estimate.

Do you offer warranties?

Yes. All our basement waterproofing work comes with a warranty. The exact terms depend on the system we install and are spelled out in your contract.

What's the difference between interior and exterior basement waterproofing?

Interior waterproofing uses drainage and sealants inside your basement to manage water. Exterior waterproofing is done outside the foundation (often with excavation) to stop water before it gets in. We'll recommend the right approach, or both, for your situation.

Will basement waterproofing fix all moisture issues?

It addresses the main sources of water. We also look at things like grading and gutters and will tell you if anything else needs attention so you get a complete solution.
