Basement Waterproofing Process

How We Stop Water Permanently

First, we inspect your basement to find exactly where water is getting in. Not just the obvious spots – we look for hairline cracks, foundation settling, and areas where water might enter during heavy rains. This inspection tells us whether you need interior waterproofing, exterior work, or both.

Next, we prepare the area and apply the right waterproofing solution. Interior jobs might involve sealing walls, installing drainage systems, or applying professional-grade basement sealers. Exterior waterproofing means excavating around your foundation and creating a barrier that stops water before it reaches your basement walls.

After the waterproofing work is complete, we test everything and clean up. You get a basement that’s ready for the next storm, plus clear information about maintaining your new waterproofing system.

Professional Waterproofing Solutions

Complete Basement Protection Services

Our basement waterproofing services cover everything from minor crack sealing to complete exterior foundation waterproofing. We use professional-grade basement sealers and waterproofing materials that actually hold up to Long Island’s weather patterns.

Interior waterproofing includes wall sealing, crack repair, and drainage solutions that redirect water away from your foundation. Exterior basement waterproofing involves excavation and applying waterproof barriers directly to your foundation walls – the most effective long-term solution for serious water problems.

Every job includes a thorough assessment of your specific situation. Some basements need simple crack sealing. Others require comprehensive interior and exterior waterproofing systems. We’ll tell you exactly what your basement needs and why, so you can make an informed decision about protecting your home.

How much does basement waterproofing cost in Calverton?

Basement waterproofing costs depend on the extent of your water problem and which solutions your home needs. Simple crack sealing and interior basement sealing might run a few thousand dollars. Complete exterior basement waterproofing with excavation costs more but provides the most comprehensive protection. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your basement, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why each step is necessary for your specific situation.

What's the difference between interior and exterior basement waterproofing?

Interior basement waterproofing works from inside your basement – sealing walls, repairing cracks, and managing water that’s already trying to get in. It’s less expensive and effective for minor water issues. Exterior waterproofing means excavating around your foundation and creating a waterproof barrier on the outside of your basement walls. This stops water before it reaches your foundation and provides better long-term protection for homes with serious water problems or ongoing flooding issues.

How long does basement waterproofing take to complete?

Most interior basement waterproofing jobs take 1-3 days, depending on the size of your basement and extent of the work. Exterior waterproofing takes longer – usually 3-7 days – because it involves excavation around your foundation. Weather can affect exterior jobs, so we might need to pause work during heavy rain. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.

Will basement waterproofing stop all water problems permanently?

Professional basement waterproofing should stop water intrusion when done correctly with quality materials. However, your foundation and the ground around it continue to shift over time. That’s why we recommend periodic inspections and maintenance. Most waterproofing systems last 10-20 years or more with proper care. We’ll show you what to watch for and how to maintain your waterproofing system so it continues protecting your basement long-term.

Can I waterproof my basement myself with store-bought products?

Store-bought basement sealers work for very minor moisture issues, but they won’t stop serious water problems. Most DIY products are temporary fixes that fail during heavy rains or as your foundation continues to settle. Professional basement waterproofing uses commercial-grade materials and techniques that address the root cause of water intrusion. If you’re dealing with actual water coming into your basement – not just minor dampness – you need professional waterproofing to solve the problem permanently.

What happens if my basement floods again after waterproofing?

Properly installed basement waterproofing should prevent future flooding from the same sources. If water does get in after our work, we’ll come back to investigate and determine what happened. Sometimes new cracks develop, or extreme weather events exceed what any waterproofing system can handle. We stand behind our work and will address any issues related to our waterproofing installation. That’s why choosing an established local company matters – we’re here to make sure your basement stays dry.
