Why this matters

Why Basement Water Is a Problem

Basement water leads to stains, mold, bad smells, and, over time, foundation and structural issues. Ignoring it usually means bigger problems and higher costs later. The right basement waterproofing fixes the cause, not just the symptom, so your space stays dry and your investment stays protected.

What we do

How We Solve It

We use interior systems (drainage, sump pumps, sealants, vapor barriers) and, when needed, exterior waterproofing (excavation, membranes, drainage) so water is stopped or managed the right way. We'll recommend what your home actually needs and explain it in plain English.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Waterproofing

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.
