Waterproofing
Waterproofing is the process of making a structure or surface resistant to water and moisture, thereby preventing water from penetrating and causing damage. Waterproofing is commonly applied to basements, roofs, bathrooms, and other areas of a building that are susceptible to water damage.
There are many different methods of waterproofing, including applying waterproof coatings or sealants, installing drainage systems or membranes, and using waterproof materials in construction. The choice of method will depend on factors such as the type of surface, the level of exposure to moisture, and the specific needs of the project.
Waterproofing is important because water damage can cause a range of problems, including structural damage, mold growth, and health hazards. It can also be expensive to repair water damage, making prevention through waterproofing a cost-effective solution.
If you are considering waterproofing your property, it's best to consult with a professional waterproofing contractor who can advise you on the best method for your specific needs and ensure that the job is done correctly to prevent any future water damage.

Epoxy floor waterproofing is an excellent way to protect your flooring from ground moisture. The epoxy coating creates a seamless barrier that keeps water from seeping through the concrete, which can cause damage and mold growth. Epoxy floor waterproofing is a durable, long-lasting solution that can also enhance the look of your floors. If you want to keep your floors dry and protected from moisture, consider epoxy floor waterproofing as a viable solution.

A basement sump pump system is a critical component of preventing water damage in your basement. It's typically installed in a sump pit located in the basement floor, and it works by automatically pumping water out of the pit and away from your home's foundation. Sump pumps are particularly useful in areas prone to heavy rainfall or in homes with a high water table. Without a sump pump system, water can build up in the basement, causing damage to walls, flooring, and personal property. If you're looking to protect your basement from water damage and flooding, consider installing a basement sump pump system.
Drywell Systems

Interior French Drain
A drywell drainage system is an effective way to manage excess water and prevent flooding. It consists of a large underground tank or pit filled with gravel that allows water to drain naturally into the soil. Drywell systems can handle large amounts of water quickly, making them ideal for areas prone to heavy rainfall or surface water buildup. They're also an eco-friendly solution since they allow rainwater to be absorbed back into the soil instead of being diverted to storm drains or other drainage systems.
Interior French Drain

Interior French Drain
An interior French drain system is a highly effective solution for managing water and preventing water damage inside your home. It involves digging a trench around the perimeter of the interior basement walls and installing a drainage pipe that redirects water to a sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water outside, away from your home's foundation. Interior French drain systems are particularly useful in homes with finished basements or in areas where exterior waterproofing isn't feasible. They're also highly effective in managing water buildup during heavy rainfall or flooding.
Exterior French Drain

Exterior Waterproofing
An exterior French drain system is an effective solution for managing water and preventing water damage to your home's foundation. It involves digging a trench around the perimeter of your home and installing a drainage pipe that redirects water away from the foundation. The trench is then filled with gravel or other porous material to allow water to flow freely. Exterior French drain systems are particularly useful in areas with heavy rainfall, where water buildup can cause significant damage.

An exterior foundation waterproofing membrane is an essential component of protecting your home's foundation from water damage. It's a durable, waterproof barrier that's installed on the outside of the foundation walls to prevent water from seeping through. The membrane is a rubberized waterproof material that is resistant to cracking and damage. Exterior foundation waterproofing membranes are especially useful in areas with high water tables or heavy rainfall, where water buildup can cause significant damage to your home's foundation.

Window well drainage is an important component of preventing water damage in basements with below-grade windows. If not properly draining, window wells can become a source of water buildup and flooding. If you have window wells, it's essential to ensure they have proper drainage to prevent water damage and mold growth. Give us a call to speak with a professional to determine the best window well drainage system for your specific needs.

Foundation Crack Repair
Interior foundation crack repair is a crucial step in preventing water damage and maintaining the structural integrity of your home. Cracks in your foundation walls can allow water to seep in and cause significant damage over time, including mold growth and foundation instability. Interior foundation crack repair typically involves injecting a waterproof epoxy or polyurethane resin into the crack to seal it and prevent water from seeping through. This creates a durable, long-lasting seal that helps to maintain the strength and stability of the foundation. If you have visible cracks in your foundation walls, it's essential to address them promptly.

Crawlspace encapsulation is a method of sealing and insulating the crawlspace of a home or building to prevent moisture buildup, mold growth, and energy loss. Encapsulation can significantly improve indoor air quality, reduce energy bills, and protect your property from costly water damage. If you're considering crawlspace encapsulation, consult a professional to determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Types of Basement Waterproofing
There are several types of basement waterproofing techniques. The type of waterproofing that is right for your home depends on several factors, including the age of your home, the type of foundation, and the soil type. Here are some of the most common basement waterproofing techniques:
- Interior waterproofing: This technique involves installing a waterproof membrane on the interior walls and floors of your basement. This membrane prevents water from penetrating the walls and floors.
- Exterior waterproofing: This technique involves excavating around the foundation of your home and applying a waterproof coating to the exterior walls. This technique is more expensive than interior waterproofing but is also more effective.
- Drainage systems: Installing a drainage system can help to prevent water from accumulating in your basement. A sump pump can be used to pump water out of the basement if it does accumulate.
- French drain: A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock that is used to redirect water away from your home. This technique is effective at preventing water from accumulating around the foundation of your home.
