Basement flooding poses a serious threat to you and your home. Flooding not only damages your home’s valuables, but it also compromises the integrity & strength of the structure. The moist conditions created also encourage harmful mold growth.

Our specialists have the right tools and skills to solve your wet and flooded crawl areas. Our waterproofing services confer many perks. They prolong your building’s life. They lower your utility bills and raise the overall value of your homes or buildings.
Here are the benefits of hiring our basement waterproofing crew.
Our waterproofing services are guaranteed to keep your mold and pest issues permanently away. Experience has shown us that properly maintained basement areas are less likely to experience mold problems. Normally, basements do not have the best natural lighting, drainage, and aeration. That environment is, however, remarkably conducive to mold growth and pest infestations.
Waterproofing helps to slash your HVAC energy expenses. Typically, basement areas are wet and warm. This condition causes the AC to overwork to meet the heating and cooling requirements of the occupants.
If left unattended, the breathing air inside these basement spaces gets contaminated. People start experiencing a wide array of respiratory issues, including asthma attacks, allergies, persistent coughing, and skin irritation.
Our waterproofing services help to stabilize your home’s foundations. Water erodes the structural integrity of structures, and if left unresolved, it may cause your home to collapse. Our quality services help to prolong the life of your home. They also keep you and your valuables safe.

Our distinguished waterproofing company provides the following vital services to keep your basement dry and safe:
Cracked foundations are a leading cause of basement flooding. These cracks and holes allow groundwater to seep through and flood these areas. The good news is that we have all the expertise to repair such cracked foundations.
We often deploy state-of-the-art solutions to deal with compromised foundations. These solutions include:
Fixing faulty drain systems: Often, the issue could be a result of malfunctioning drain systems. There are two ways to resolve these drain systems. The first approach involves the installation of below-slab drainage. Here, we install a new drain pipe and partially remove the floor slab on your foundation.
Installing the below-slab system is quite expensive. It is more durable, however. The other approach is a gutter drainage system installation, which involves setting up an external basement foundation slab. The fixture also doubles as the base for your wall.
Gutter Cleaning: Our experts are adept at cleaning debris-filled gutters. We either remove the obstructions manually. Or, use products that prevent debris like leaves from taking over your home’s gutters.
Downspout Fixes: We inspect your gutter’s downspout to see if that’s the source of the basement flooding. In most cases, your downspouts are too close to the house. Ideally, the downspouts should be at least 10 feet away, but many homeowners ignore this rule. We affix the structure at the right distance to prevent any future basement flooding.
Pavements Upgrades: At times, the sloping of your home’s pavement is the culprit. Over time, pavements become eroded. That changes the water flow directions around your property. This water gets redirected to your living areas. If that happens, our teams will replace or remove the pavement sloping to restore proper drainage.
We also perform re-grading work to repair basement areas that have leaks due to holes, cracks, and other unwanted water flows paths. We use sealants to cover the unintended water inlets and stop the seepage. Alternatively, we install the latest waterproofing membranes to prevent unwanted infiltration.
Aging leads to a deterioration of your building’s drainage system. Over time, sediments build up on the drain pipes, resulting in a partial or permanent blockage. That impedes the water flow around your home’s foundation. Eventually, the groundwater rises and floods your foundations. If that happens, you can call us to repair the collapsed pipes and resolve the plumbing problem.
Sump pumps are a must-have fixture in most homes, especially the sunken underground spaces. These installation helps to expel the excess groundwater and redirect it to storm sewers or lawns. We are proficient in undertaking repairs and maintenance to these sump pumps. Homes in areas with high water tables often qualify for installation incentives. Reach out to us to know if you are eligible for pump sumps installation subsidies from your city.
Sewer backups are a common issue, especially in homes over 25 years. Older homes typically have a single lateral sanitary sewer connecting your home to the main sewer systems. This connection is prone to blockages when overwhelmed by heavy rains.
Our experienced crew performs routine unclogging tasks, such as running snake augers or using eco-friendly cleaners to clear the blocked sewers. Or, we can recommend a complete replacement of the damaged pipes.
Heavy rainfall or snowmelts causes overland flooding. The excess water accumulates and pools on your home’s driveway and lawn. Gravity directs these flood waters to low-lying areas like your basement. Proper grading is necessary to fix overland flooding concerns.
We specialize in adding or upgrading your home’s gutter or downspouts. These renovations help to divert excess water away from your property when needed and its foundation. To help mitigate future flooding, we will install a leakage detector at your premises. If it detects irregular flows in your drain pipes, it automatically switches off your home’s water supply. The device also shuts off upon detecting water on your basement floor.
Most homeowners often use basement areas as storage for their precious family valuables. Not surprisingly, most homeowners panic when they realize that the basements are flooding. Instead of panicking, remain perfectly calm as you assess the situation.
First, switch off the power. Make sure everyone evacuates from the affected areas. That helps to prevent electrocution. Then contact a specialist immediately. As you wait for our waterproofing crew, turn off your main water supply to stop the water from seeping into your walls and floors.
