What Benefits does Basement Waterproofing Bring to the Table?
Basement Leak Repair & Prevention – the most obvious benefit. Depending on the specific basement waterproofing service that you choose, it will help repair or prevent basement water leaks in the future.
Protects Foundation – exterior basement waterproofing helps protect the foundation of your property from contact with groundwater. As a result, your foundation is likely to live longer.
Protects Construction Materials – basement water leaks can damage construction materials used in wall & floor coverings in your home.
Energy Savings – it is harder for your HVAC system to work with humid air. Some of basement waterproofing services result in lower humidity in the basement, this way your hydro bill is likely to decrease.
Protects Your Investment – real estate is a big investment to make. Waterproofing helps protect your investment from water damage.
Property Cost – some of the basement waterproofing services often result in higher property value.
Difference Between Exterior & Interior Basement Waterproofing
Interior and exterior waterproofing are two distinct methods used to prevent water from entering a building or structure. The main differences between the two are as follows:
Location – the most obvious difference between interior and exterior waterproofing is the location where the waterproofing is applied. Exterior waterproofing is applied to the outside of the building or structure, while interior waterproofing is applied on the inside.
Purpose – the purpose of exterior waterproofing is to prevent water from penetrating the exterior of the building or structure, while interior waterproofing is designed to control water that has already penetrated the interior of the building.
Cost – exterior waterproofing is generally more expensive than interior waterproofing due to the additional materials and labor required to apply it. However, exterior waterproofing is typically more effective in preventing water damage in the long term.
Maintenance – exterior waterproofing requires less maintenance than interior waterproofing. Once the exterior waterproofing system is installed, it can typically last for many years without needing any maintenance or repair. Interior waterproofing systems, on the other hand, may require periodic maintenance to ensure that they continue to function properly.
In summary, exterior waterproofing is typically more effective at preventing water damage, but it is also more expensive and requires more labor to install. Interior waterproofing is less expensive but is designed to control water that has already entered the building or structure.

Emergency Basement Flood Repair
Basement Leak Detection & Basement Leak Repair
If you are experiencing wet basement problems or see foundation leaks on your walls, this could be a sign that you need a foundation leak repair.
Before repairing the leak our team will work to identify the source. Basement leak detection will help identify the source of water infiltration in a basement. Water infiltration in a basement can be caused by a variety of factors, such as cracks in the foundation walls, damaged or clogged drainage systems, or groundwater seepage.
To detect basement leaks, professionals may perform a visual inspection of the basement walls and floors, or use specialized equipment such as moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, or dye tests to pinpoint the source of the water infiltration.
Window Well Installation
Window well installation involves the construction of a well around the outside of a basement window. The well is typically made of metal, plastic, or concrete and serves several purposes, including providing an emergency exit, allowing natural light into the basement, and preventing water from entering the window.
Window wells are required by building codes in many areas and can be installed during the construction of a new home or added to an existing home.
