Basement Waterproofing FAQs

Our basement waterproofing FAQs will answer the most common questions you may have about our waterproofing systems and help you solve your wet basement problems once and for all!

  • Your basement gets wet after heavy rainfall mainly due to two factors: poor grading around the foundation walls and cracks in your foundation. Inadequate grading allows rainwater to pool around the foundation, while cracks provide pathways for water to seep into the basement. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to prevent water infiltration and protect your basement from damage.

  • Hire a qualified contractor to pinpoint your problem areas outside your home and find reasonable, affordable solutions.

  • The exterior is the "ROOT" of the problem and must be considered.

  • Indoor systems companies never consider "WHY" your basement leaks. They use an electrical pump to pump out water out AFTER it has already entered underneath your basement's floor. If it fails, and they often do, the water is ready and waiting to reenter your basement and soak your carpet, sheetrock, and furniture again because the ACTUAL PROBLEM may never have been considered.
