Foundation Waterproofing

Keep the Foundation Dry for Good

Water in a basement rarely fixes itself. Damp patches, a musty smell or puddles after rain mean water is getting in, through cracks, the joint between wall and floor, or groundwater pushing on the walls.

The fix depends on the cause, so we find it first. Then we match the work to it: exterior waterproofing at the outside of the walls, interior waterproofing and drainage, French drains, sump pumps and crack repair. Many homes need a mix of these, explained before anything is booked.

Common Questions

Foundation Waterproofing Questions

Why is water getting into my basement?

Usually through cracks in the walls or floor, along the joint between the wall and floor, or from groundwater and poor drainage pushing against the outside of the foundation. Finding the cause is the first step, which is why we start with an inspection.

Do I need interior or exterior waterproofing?

It depends on where the water comes from. Exterior waterproofing stops water at the outside of the foundation walls; interior waterproofing collects water that gets in and directs it away. Many homes benefit from both, and we explain which suits yours after the inspection.

Is foundation waterproofing worth it?

For most homes with a damp or leaking basement, yes. It protects the foundation, helps keep mold out of the air and turns a damp space into one you can use.

Will waterproofing fix a mold problem?

Removing the moisture is what stops mold coming back, so waterproofing deals with the cause. Mold already on surfaces still needs cleaning, which we can talk through on the visit.

Can you finish my basement after waterproofing?

Yes. Once the foundation is dry we can remodel the basement into living space as well, with one contractor for both jobs.

What affects the cost of foundation waterproofing?

Where the water is coming from, the length of wall involved, whether the work is inside or outside, and extras such as drains or a sump pump. We give you a written price once we have found the source.
