DIY Recommendations
Before having us come out, we recommend you take some DIY steps that very well may identify, and solve, your problem (if you have not already done so):
- Grading around the home is sloped downhill and away; in other words, water would have to flow uphill to reach your foundation wall
- Downspouts are piped away from the house; water exits the pipe moving downhill and away
- Gutters are not damaged and have been cleaned and free of debris
- Old stumps and their root systems have been completely removed from the ground and regraded to slope away from the house; remaining organic matter decays, creating conduits for water that flow downhill, under the ground, towards your foundation wall
Get these areas corrected and then wait for the next qualifying rain event, that would normally produce a leak, to determine if you still are in need of corrective waterproofing measures. If so, we consider it a privilege to be invited to your home to evaluate and determine a solution to your basement leak issue.
Our solutions are custom and therefore are specifically designed for all types of foundations, especially the older stone, brick and block foundations so common to leak issues.
We can also recommend other Companies that provide these exterior services if you do not wish to do the work yourself. Please call us at below.
If your exterior water control measures are not sufficient, please contact us below for a no-cost evaluation.
What People are saying...
“Excellent! I hired these guys to handle our crawlspace encapsulation and they not only did a fantastic job during the project, but continue to follow-up after every major rain to ensure all is well. To boot, they came back when my Dehumidifier went south and handled the return and shipment of a new one with the manufacturer. A SOLID company that is worth your consideration.”

“Excellent! Steve found the problem and it is repaired. With all the rain since the repair, we have had no leak. Steve is excellent and very patient to explain the ‘why’. Very conscientious and ethical–need more guys like him! We have a pesky, leaky wall in our basement. Steve repaired the initial leak almost 2 years ago and was perplexed when we called him back for a leak in what seemed to be the same area. Through his patience, we were able to find that a very old (20+ years) repair had given way to new problems.”

"Couldn’t be happier. Steve and his team worked methodically to repair two significant cracks that resulted from a sewer line leak in our basement. The repairs have been in place for almost three years providing a completely sealed basement wall. His knowledge of foundations and creating and maintaining waterproof space is evident in his work.”
