    Signs Your Basement May Need Interior Waterproofing

    Water problems often start with subtle warning signs. If you notice any of the following in your basement, an interior waterproofing system may help protect your home.

    Water seepage along basement wall and floor joint

    Water Along the Wall-Floor Joint

    Dampness or visible seepage where the foundation wall meets the basement floor.

    White efflorescence on concrete basement wall

    White Deposits on Walls

    Efflorescence or chalky mineral deposits can indicate moisture moving through concrete.

    System Component

    Perimeter Drainage Channel

    A perforated drainage channel is installed along the footing inside the basement perimeter to collect groundwater before it reaches the floor.

    Perimeter Drainage Channel

    A perforated drainage channel is installed along the footing inside the basement perimeter to collect groundwater before it reaches the floor.

    • Captures water at the wall-floor joint where it enters
    • Gravel bedded channel connects to the sump pit
    • Designed for high groundwater pressure and spring snowmelt
    Wall Drainage Membrane

    A dimpled drainage membrane is applied to the foundation wall to direct any moisture straight down into the perimeter drainage system.

    • Creates an air gap between wall and finished space
    • Channels seepage down to the perimeter drain
    • Protects finished walls from hidden moisture
    Sump Pit & Pump

    Collected groundwater is routed to a sump pit where a pump discharges it safely away from the foundation, keeping the basement dry.

    • Sealed sump basin with airtight lid
    • Pump sized to your home's drainage load
    • Optional battery backup for storm outages
    Floor Restoration

    Once the drainage system is in place, the perimeter trench is filled and new concrete restores a clean, finished floor surface.

    • New concrete matched to existing floor level
    • Clean, broomed finish ready for flooring
    • Minimal visible evidence of the system below

    Installation Process

    Interior waterproofing captures and controls groundwater before it enters the living space. A professional system is installed in a carefully planned process designed to channel perimeter water directly to a sump pit for safe discharge - while minimizing disruption to your home.

    01

    Prepare & Protect

    We protect the work area and carefully remove flooring along the basement perimeter where required.

    Install the Wall Membrane

    A waterproof drainage membrane is applied to the foundation wall to direct moisture into the drainage system.

    04

    Connect Sump & Restore Floor

    The drainage system is connected to the sump pit, the trench is filled, and new concrete restores a clean, finished floor surface.

    05
