Frequently Ask Questions

Please take a moment to read answers to our most frequently asked questions about our services.

  • How is basement waterproofing done?

    Basement waterproofing is the process of preventing water from entering a basement. There are many ways to waterproof a basement, but the most common technique is to install a drainage system that diverts water away from the foundation. Basement drainage systems can be installed internally or externally, and they typically include a network of pipes and drains that collect water from the foundation and channel it away from the building.


    Another common method of basement waterproofing is to install a vapor barrier on the walls and floors of the basement. Vapor barriers create a moisture-resistant membrane that prevents water vapor from passing through the walls and flooring. This helps to keep the basement dry and prevent mold growth.

  • Is waterproofing a basement worth it?

    Yes, waterproofing a basement is definitely worth it. It's one of the most important things you can do to protect your home from water damage, which can be very costly and damaging. And it also increases your property value, since potential buyers will know that the basement is protected against flooding. So if you're thinking about waterproofing your basement, don't hesitate - it's a great investment for your home.

  • Can you seal a basement from the inside?

    Yes, you can seal a basement from the inside by installing an interior french drain and sump pump. A french drain is a perforated pipe that collects water and directs it away from the foundation of your home. A sump pump is a device that removes water from the sump basin and sends it to the outside of your home.


    If you experience frequent flooding in your basement, installing an interior french drain and sump pump may be the solution for you. By sealing your basement from the inside, you will prevent water from entering your home and causing damage to your foundation.

  • Why does my basement leak when it rains?

    There are a few reasons why your basement might leak when it rains. One reason is that the pressure created by the water in the soil surrounding the foundation can cause water to seep through cracks and holes in the foundation.


    Another reason could be that your gutter system isn't doing its job properly and is allowing water to overflow and run down the side of your house, where it will eventually find its way into the basement.


    If you're not sure what's causing your basement to leak, it might be a good idea to call in a professional to take a look at it and give you some advice on how to fix the problem.

  • Is it common for basements to leak?

    Yes, it is a common occurrence in many homes across the nation. A lot of times, this happens when there is heavy rain or snow because the water has nowhere else to go and seeps through the cracks in your foundation. In some cases, you may notice water coming up through the seams of your basement flooring.


    If you think your basement is leaking, it's important to have a professional inspect it to determine the source of the leak and how to fix it. Leaks can cause a lot of damage over time and can quickly become expensive to repair, so it's best to address them as soon as possible.

  • Can water come up through concrete basement floor?

    Yes, water can seep up through the concrete floor around your foundation. The reason is that concrete is a porous material and will allow water to seep through over time. This can cause problems if the water seeps up into your basement and causes damage to your property or creates a mold problem.


    There are several things you can do to help prevent water from seeping up through the concrete floor around your foundation. One is to install a drainage system around the outside of your house that will divert rainwater away from the foundation. You can also seal cracks and gaps in the concrete with caulking or epoxy, and make sure that your gutters are properly draining so that they are not overflowing onto the ground near the house.
