Basement Waterproofing
Where water intrusion arises, we install an interior or exterior waterproofing system to mitigate water intrusion from entering your home. What are the deciding factors for an exterior or an interior system? This repair depends on multiple factors such as if the basement is finished, or where the water is entering from.

Basement Waterproofing Solutions
Interior Drain-Tile and Hydro Wall Solution
The purpose of an interior system helps alleviate water that builds up under the slab causing it to leak into the basement. This process involves breaking a 16” wide by 14” deep trench along the base of the wall and installing a perforated pipe to allow the water to flow to a sump pump. A wall shield vapor barrier is installed on the wall to reroute the water into the pipe. Once the pipe and wall shield is installed we backfill the trench with gravel and concrete back to the top.
This system works great to eliminate water intrusion as well as prevent future water issues. This system is installed completely from the inside and eliminates landscape disruption.
Exterior Waterproofing Solution
The purpose of an exterior system is to stop water from entering the foundation from the exterior. Typically we dig up the affected foundation wall and apply a waterproof membrane to prevent water intrusion through the wall. Once the wall is waterproofed we will install a new drain pipe at the bottom of the wall that ties into a sump pump. The wall will then be back filled with 80% gravel and 20% dirt for load reduction and drainage.
This system tackles waterproofing from the outside of the wall. Eliminating the need for disturbing the interior finishes of the basement.
