Exterior Waterproofing is typically the best place to start when it comes to examining the water issues that are causing problems in your home.

After the excavation is completed and all of the foundations are exposed, our expert technicians will thoroughly check and clean all of the cracks and other deterioration in order to see where the problem lies. We will then seal and cover these cracks utilizing either Blue Skin or Aqua Block which are waterproofing membranes. We will then work to install a completely new drainage system which consists of a dimple board and weeping tiles and test for optimal drainage. This approach typically disturbs the area surrounding the exterior of your home during the repair process, it is typically the best solution to truly identify the cracks and damage that has resulted in exterior water penetration.
Interior Waterproofing
If your building/home is susceptible to leaks, interior systems might be the answer for your waterproofing solution. This particular approach is one that is usually recommended to homeowners that do not have direct access to their exterior wall on their foundation.
These solutions work together with exterior waterproofing systems in order to ensure that the water levels never reach above the floor of the basement. With this, sump wells are utilized in order to collect any water that has been pumped out and away from the home which can effectively keep the basement as dry as possible. During this process, a battery backup system is usually installed in order to provide sufficient coverage in the event of a power outage.
The interior systems are usually installed alongside the perimeter of the walls on the interior of the foundation for your home. These systems are optimal for those that suffer from regular basement water issues or even the homes that might be surrounded by high water tables.
Waterproofing FAQ’s

Why Should I Care About Basement Waterproofing?
Having a wet basement might seem like a relatively small problem. The truth is, a wet basement can lead to a lot of significant issues. Not only can it lead to the development and growth of dangerous black mold, but it can even compromise the structural integrity of your entire home by compromising its foundation.
It can also increase the risk of having anything in your basement damaged from excess moisture which can contribute to mold growth. By waterproofing your basement, it will help to maximize your property value and give you the peace of mind you need to know that your family is safe.
What Kind of Waterproofing Can I Do By Myself?
The best way to keep your basement dry is by keeping as much water away from your home as possible. There are plenty of ways you can achieve this. For one, you can ensure that you create a slop surrounding your home to properly drain water away from the foundation. Along with this, you can install effective gutters to keep water from building up around your home. Lastly, you can keep window wells covered to avoid the collection of water which can compromise your foundation.
Why Do I Need A Backup Battery For My Drainage System?
Sump pumps are powered by electricity. Because of this, they sometimes require battery backups in order to effectively work.

Therefore, having a battery backup system that powers on when your electricity goes out can keep you from getting into trouble with a non-functioning system.
