Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing Company

We Handle Both Sides of the Problem

Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing LLC combines two critical skills most companies don’t have together. We understand masonry work and waterproofing systems, which means we can address both the structural issues and the water intrusion problems that often go hand in hand.

We’ve been serving East Hampton homeowners who need real solutions, not band-aids. When you’re dealing with water in your basement, you need someone who can figure out where it’s actually coming from and fix it properly the first time.

Basement Waterproofing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your basement and the exterior of your foundation to identify exactly where water is entering. This isn’t guesswork—we look at drainage patterns, foundation cracks, window wells, and any masonry issues that might be contributing to the problem.

Next, we determine whether you need interior waterproofing, exterior waterproofing, or both. Interior systems handle water that’s already getting in, while exterior work stops it before it reaches your foundation walls. Sometimes you need both approaches for complete protection.

Then we install the right waterproofing system for your specific situation. This might include basement wall sealers, drainage systems, sump pumps, or exterior excavation and sealing. We use professional-grade materials designed to last, not the temporary fixes you’ll find at hardware stores.

Comprehensive Waterproofing Solutions

What's Included in Your Waterproofing

You get a complete assessment of your water problem, not just a quick look at the obvious symptoms. We examine your foundation, grading, gutters, and any masonry work that might be allowing water intrusion.

Our waterproofing services include both interior and exterior options depending on what your basement needs. Interior basement waterproofing handles water that’s already penetrating, while exterior basement waterproofing prevents water from reaching your foundation walls in the first place.

East Hampton’s coastal environment and older homes often require specialized approaches. We understand how seasonal water tables, storm patterns, and foundation settling affect your basement, so our solutions account for the specific challenges your property faces year-round.

Should I choose interior or exterior basement waterproofing?

It depends on where your water problem is coming from and your budget. Exterior waterproofing is more comprehensive because it stops water before it reaches your foundation, but it requires excavation and costs more. Interior waterproofing manages water that’s already getting in and is less expensive upfront. Many East Hampton homes benefit from a combination approach—exterior work where feasible and interior systems as backup. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective solution for your basement and budget.

How long does basement waterproofing last?

Professional waterproofing systems typically last 20-30 years or more when installed correctly. The lifespan depends on the materials used, installation quality, and your home’s specific conditions. Exterior waterproofing generally lasts longer because it prevents water contact with your foundation. Interior systems may need occasional maintenance, like sump pump servicing, but the main components are built to last. We use commercial-grade materials designed for Long Island’s climate and soil conditions, not the temporary sealers you’ll find at retail stores.

Will waterproofing stop all basement moisture problems?

Proper waterproofing eliminates water intrusion, but some humidity is normal in basements. If you’re seeing standing water, wet walls, or water damage, waterproofing will solve those problems. However, basements naturally have higher humidity than upper floors due to their below-grade location. After waterproofing, you might still benefit from a dehumidifier to maintain optimal comfort levels, especially during humid summer months. The key difference is you won’t have water actually entering your basement or the mold and damage that comes with it.

How much does basement waterproofing cost in East Hampton?

Basement waterproofing costs vary significantly based on your home’s size, the extent of water problems, and which solutions you need. Interior waterproofing typically ranges from $3,000-$8,000 for most homes, while exterior waterproofing can range from $8,000-$15,000 or more due to excavation requirements. Many homeowners find that combining targeted exterior work with interior systems provides the best value. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation, so you understand exactly what work is needed and why.

Can I waterproof my basement myself?

DIY basement sealing products can handle minor moisture issues, but they’re not effective for actual water intrusion problems. If you’re dealing with standing water, recurring flooding, or visible water entry points, you need professional-grade materials and installation techniques. Improper waterproofing can actually make problems worse by trapping moisture in walls or redirecting water to new areas. Given the investment you have in your East Hampton home, professional waterproofing provides the reliability and warranty protection that DIY solutions simply can’t match.

What's the difference between waterproofing and damp-proofing?

Damp-proofing is a basic moisture barrier that many builders apply during construction, but it’s not designed to handle hydrostatic pressure from groundwater or heavy rain. Waterproofing creates a complete barrier system that can handle water under pressure. If your basement has water problems, damp-proofing won’t solve them—you need actual waterproofing. Many East Hampton homes were built with only basic damp-proofing, which explains why basement water problems often develop years after construction. True waterproofing systems are engineered to handle the water pressure and soil conditions that cause basement flooding.
