Lawrence Waterproofing Company

We Know Lawrence Basements

We specialize in basement waterproofing throughout Lawrence and Nassau County. We understand how Long Island’s clay soil and seasonal weather patterns affect your foundation.

Most water problems aren’t just about water—they’re about understanding why water moves the way it does around your specific property. We’ve been solving these problems for Lawrence homeowners who need real solutions, not temporary patches.

Every basement is different, but the principles of effective waterproofing remain the same. We focus on those principles instead of pushing one-size-fits-all approaches.

Basement Waterproofing Process

How We Stop Water Permanently

First, we identify exactly where water enters and why. This means checking both interior and exterior factors—not just treating symptoms.

Next, we address the root cause using the right combination of interior basement waterproofing, exterior basement waterproofing, or both. Sometimes it’s drainage, sometimes it’s sealing, often it’s a systematic approach that handles multiple entry points.

Finally, we test our work and walk you through what we’ve done. You’ll understand what was fixed and what to expect going forward. No mystery, no wondering if it actually worked.

How much does basement waterproofing cost in Lawrence, NY?

Basement waterproofing costs in Lawrence typically range from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on your basement size, the extent of water issues, and which waterproofing methods are needed. Interior solutions like basement sealing and wall treatments are generally less expensive than exterior excavation work. The key is getting the right solution for your specific situation—not the most expensive or the cheapest, but the one that actually stops your water problem permanently. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your basement so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.

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

Interior basement waterproofing manages water that’s already trying to enter your basement, using basement wall sealers, drainage systems, and moisture barriers applied from inside. Exterior basement waterproofing prevents water from reaching your foundation walls in the first place, typically involving excavation and applying waterproof membranes to the outside foundation. Many Lawrence homes need both approaches—exterior methods to reduce water pressure against your foundation, and interior methods to handle any remaining moisture. The best approach depends on your specific water entry points, soil conditions, and budget.

How long does basement waterproofing take to complete?

Most basement waterproofing projects in Lawrence take 2-5 days, depending on the scope of work. Interior basement sealing and minor repairs can often be completed in 1-2 days. Comprehensive projects involving both interior and exterior waterproofing may take a full week. Exterior work takes longer because it involves excavation and proper curing time for materials. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated on progress. Weather can affect exterior work schedules, especially during Long Island’s wet seasons, so we plan accordingly.

Will basement waterproofing stop all moisture and humidity issues?

Proper basement waterproofing eliminates water intrusion, but some humidity is normal in any basement. Good waterproofing dramatically reduces moisture levels and eliminates the musty odors and dampness that come from water seepage. However, you may still need basic humidity control, especially during humid Long Island summers. The difference is that after waterproofing, you’re managing normal environmental humidity rather than fighting active water infiltration. Your basement will feel dry and smell normal, and you won’t see water stains, efflorescence, or mold growth from moisture intrusion.

Do you guarantee your basement waterproofing work?

Yes, we stand behind our basement waterproofing work with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on which waterproofing methods we use and the scope of your project. We explain warranty coverage clearly before starting work, so you know exactly what’s protected and for how long. Good waterproofing should last for decades when installed properly, and we’re confident enough in our work to back it up. If water issues return due to our workmanship, we’ll fix them at no cost to you.

Can you waterproof basements that have been finished?

We can waterproof finished basements, but it often requires removing some finished materials to access foundation walls and install proper waterproofing systems. The extent of disruption depends on your specific water issues and the waterproofing methods needed. Sometimes we can work around existing finishes, but effective waterproofing usually requires accessing the actual foundation walls. We’ll assess your situation and explain exactly what would need to be removed and what can stay. Many homeowners find that properly waterproofing before refinishing prevents much more extensive damage and renovation costs later.
