Common Causes of Basement Water Intrusion
Understanding how water enters your basement can help in preventing damage:

- Window Wells: Improperly sealed window wells can allow rainwater to seep in.
Our Basement Waterproofing Services
Exterior Waterproofing
Our exterior waterproofing process includes excavation around the foundation to apply a waterproof membrane, ensuring water is diverted away from your home. This method is effective in preventing water from penetrating the foundation walls.
Interior Waterproofing
We also provide interior waterproofing solutions, such as installing drain tiles and sump pumps, which effectively manage moisture levels within your basement. This method is less invasive and ideal for homes with limited outdoor access.
