Our Customer Reviews

Signs You Need Basement Waterproofing

If you notice any of these issues, your basement may be at risk for water damage:

Damp or musty odors in the basement.
Standing water or puddles after rain.
Water stains on walls or floors.
Mold or mildew growth due to excess moisture.
Peeling paint or efflorescence (white, chalky residue) on walls.
Foundation cracks or shifting due to water intrusion.
Sump pump running frequently or failing to keep up with drainage needs.

If your basement consistently has moisture issues, a French drain system and basement waterproofing may be the best solution to keep water out and your foundation strong.

What Is a French Drain & How Does It Work?

A French drain is a proven waterproofing solution designed to redirect groundwater away from your foundation.

How French Drains Work

A trench is dug around the perimeter of your basement or yard.
A perforated pipe is placed inside the trench, allowing water to enter.
The trench is filled with gravel, filtering water and directing it away from your home.
The pipe channels water to a sump pump, storm drain, or a safe drainage area.

Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions

Interior French Drain Installation

We install French drain systems inside the basement to capture and redirect water before it reaches your floor. This system works best for homes with consistent seepage or flooding issues.

Exterior French Drain Installation

Exterior French drains are installed around the foundation of your home to intercept groundwater before it reaches your basement walls. This prevents foundation leaks and structural damage.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair

A sump pump works with a French drain system to actively pump water away from your home. We provide:

Sump pump installations for new waterproofing systems.
Sump pump replacements for failing or outdated units.
Battery backup systems for emergency operation during power outages.

Crack Sealing & Foundation Repairs

If water is seeping through foundation cracks, we offer:

Injection sealing to close cracks and stop leaks.
Waterproof coatings to protect concrete and brick walls.
Structural reinforcement for foundation stability.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

For homes with moisture problems in crawl spaces, we offer vapor barriers and drainage solutions to keep humidity and mold growth under control.

Benefits of a French Drain System

Prevents basement flooding and protects against water intrusion.
Relieves hydrostatic pressure that can cause foundation cracks.
Directs water away from your home, keeping your basement dry and mold-free.
Increases your property value by preventing long-term structural damage.

How Much Water Damage Can a Wet Basement Cause?

A leaky basement can lead to serious structural and financial consequences:

Water Damage Issue Potential Cost
Mold Removal $500 - $6,000+
Foundation Repairs $3,500 - $10,000+
Flood Damage Cleanup $1,000 - $5,000+
Basement Renovation After Water Damage $10,000 - $50,000+

Installing a French drain and basement waterproofing system now can save thousands in repair costs later.

Basement Waterproofing & French Drain Installation: Frequently Asked Questions

Basement waterproofing is essential to prevent water damage, mold growth, and foundation issues. A damp or flooded basement can weaken your home's structure and lead to expensive repairs. By installing a French drain system and waterproofing solutions, you can keep your basement dry, protect your property, and improve indoor air quality.

Several factors can cause basement water intrusion, including:

Poor drainage around your home's foundation.
Hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into basement walls.
Cracks in foundation walls or floors.
Clogged or ineffective gutters and downspouts.
High water tables causing seepage into basement floors.

If your basement regularly experiences dampness or flooding, installing a French drain system and basement waterproofing can provide long-term protection.

A French drain is a drainage system designed to redirect groundwater away from your foundation. It consists of:

A perforated pipe installed in a trench.
Gravel surrounding the pipe to filter water.
A drainage system that moves water to a sump pump or discharge area.

French drains relieve hydrostatic pressure, preventing water from seeping into your basement and reducing the risk of foundation damage.

Interior French Drains – Installed inside the basement along the perimeter, directing water to a sump pump. Ideal for homes with persistent leaks or flooding.
Exterior French Drains – Installed around the outside foundation to intercept water before it reaches the basement walls. Best for homes with high groundwater levels or exterior drainage issues.

Yes! A French drain system works best when paired with a sump pump, which actively pumps water away from your home. Without a sump pump, water may accumulate, reducing the effectiveness of the drainage system.

If you notice any of the following, your basement may need waterproofing:

Water stains on basement walls or floors.
Musty odors or mold growth.
Dampness or humidity issues in the basement.
Cracks in foundation walls or floors.
Frequent sump pump failures or standing water after rain.

The installation timeline depends on whether you need an interior or exterior French drain:

Interior French Drains – Typically take 1 to 2 days.
Exterior French Drains – Take 2 to 4 days, depending on excavation requirements.

The cost of basement waterproofing and French drain installation varies based on:

The size of your basement.
Whether an interior or exterior system is needed.
The condition of your foundation.
Additional repairs like sump pump installation or crack sealing.

Investing in waterproofing now can save thousands in future water damage repairs.
