We Know Long Island Basements

Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing LLC has been solving basement water problems throughout Hewlett and the Five Towns area for years. We understand how Long Island’s high water table and seasonal storms create unique challenges for homeowners.

We’re not the guys who show up, spray some sealant on your walls, and call it waterproofing. We do comprehensive interior and exterior solutions using professional-grade materials that actually address the root cause of water intrusion.

Every job comes with our warranty because we stand behind our work. When we waterproof your basement, it stays waterproofed.

How We Actually Fix Water Problems

First, we inspect your basement to identify exactly where water is entering and why. This isn’t guesswork – we need to understand your specific situation before recommending any solution.

Next, we address the exterior issues if needed. This might involve excavating around your foundation, applying waterproof membrane, and installing proper drainage systems to direct water away from your home.

For interior waterproofing, we install drainage systems along your basement perimeter, apply professional sealers to walls and floors, and ensure proper sump pump operation. We also handle any necessary crack repairs using injection techniques that create permanent seals.

The whole process is designed to work together as a complete system, not just patch individual problems.

What's Included In Professional Waterproofing

You get a complete evaluation of your water intrusion problems, not just a quick estimate. We identify all the ways water is getting into your basement and prioritize solutions based on your specific situation and budget.

Our exterior waterproofing includes foundation excavation, membrane application, drainage installation, and proper backfilling. Interior work covers perimeter drainage systems, wall and floor sealing, sump pump installation or repair, and crack injection using professional-grade materials.

We also handle the details that other contractors skip – proper grading around your foundation, gutter and downspout improvements, and window well waterproofing. In Hewlett’s climate, these details make the difference between a job that works and one that fails during the next big storm.

Basement waterproofing costs in Hewlett typically range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on your basement size, the extent of water problems, and whether you need interior, exterior, or both types of waterproofing. Interior perimeter drainage systems usually cost less than full exterior excavation and waterproofing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why, so you understand what you’re paying for. The investment protects your home’s foundation and prevents much more expensive structural repairs down the road.
Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches your foundation walls by applying waterproof membranes and installing drainage systems outside your home. This requires excavation but addresses the problem at its source. Interior waterproofing manages water that’s already entered by installing drainage systems inside your basement perimeter and applying sealers to walls and floors. Many Hewlett homes need both approaches for complete protection, especially older homes with compromised exterior waterproofing. We evaluate your specific situation to recommend the most effective solution.
Most interior waterproofing projects in Hewlett take 2-4 days to complete, depending on your basement size and the extent of work needed. Exterior waterproofing takes longer – typically 5-7 days – because it involves excavation, membrane application, and proper backfilling. Weather can affect exterior work timing, so we plan accordingly. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the project. The key is doing the job right rather than rushing, because proper waterproofing should last for decades.
Professional waterproofing eliminates water intrusion through your foundation walls and floor, which solves the major source of basement moisture problems. However, some humidity is normal in any basement, especially during Long Island’s humid summers. We often recommend dehumidifiers for optimal comfort and air quality. If you’re seeing condensation on pipes or walls, that’s usually a ventilation issue rather than a waterproofing problem. We’ll explain what waterproofing will and won’t solve during our initial evaluation, so you have realistic expectations.
Yes, we warranty our waterproofing work because we use professional-grade materials and proven installation methods. Warranty terms depend on the specific work performed – interior drainage systems and exterior membrane applications typically carry longer warranties than crack repairs or sealant applications. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting any work. Our goal is waterproofing that lasts for decades, not quick fixes that fail after a few years. When problems do arise during the warranty period, we address them promptly at no additional cost.
Interior waterproofing can be done year-round since we’re working inside your heated basement. Exterior waterproofing is more challenging during winter months because excavation and concrete work require temperatures above freezing for proper curing. We typically schedule exterior projects from spring through fall for best results. However, we do provide emergency water intrusion services during winter storms. If you’re dealing with active leaks, we can often provide temporary solutions and schedule permanent waterproofing for warmer weather. Planning ahead gives you the most scheduling flexibility and often better pricing.
