Everything Needed to Keep Water Out

Our basement waterproofing services cover both interior and exterior solutions. Interior waterproofing includes basement wall sealing, crack repair, and drainage systems that redirect water before it becomes a problem.

Exterior basement waterproofing tackles the problem at its source – preventing water from reaching your foundation walls in the first place. This includes proper grading, waterproof membranes, and drainage solutions that work with Long Island’s soil conditions.

Every waterproofing project includes thorough preparation, quality basement sealer application, and cleanup that leaves your space ready to use. We handle the complete process, from initial assessment through final warranty coverage.

Quality basement waterproofing should last 15-20 years or more when done correctly. Long Island’s weather patterns – from nor’easters to summer storms – do test waterproofing systems, but proper installation with quality materials handles these conditions well. The key is using the right waterproofing method for your specific foundation type and water issues. Interior systems typically require less maintenance than exterior solutions, though both can provide decades of protection when installed by experienced waterproofing professionals.
Interior basement waterproofing works from inside your basement – sealing walls, repairing cracks, and installing drainage systems to manage water that reaches your foundation. It’s often more cost-effective and doesn’t require excavation. Exterior waterproofing prevents water from reaching your foundation walls by applying waterproof barriers and improving drainage around your home’s perimeter. This requires excavation but addresses the problem at its source. Many Long Island homes benefit from a combination approach, depending on the specific water issues and foundation conditions.
Basement waterproofing costs vary based on your home’s size, the extent of water problems, and which solutions are needed. Interior waterproofing typically ranges from $3,000-$8,000 for most basements, while exterior work can range from $8,000-$15,000 or more depending on excavation requirements. The investment protects your home’s value and prevents much more expensive flood damage repairs. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your specific situation, so you know exactly what’s included and why each component is necessary for long-term protection.
Interior basement waterproofing can be done year-round since we’re working inside your home. Winter is actually a good time for interior work since you’re not dealing with landscaping concerns or outdoor disruption. Exterior waterproofing is weather-dependent and typically done during warmer months when ground conditions allow proper excavation and curing. However, emergency repairs can often be handled regardless of season. If you’re dealing with active water problems, we can usually implement temporary solutions and plan permanent fixes for optimal weather conditions.
Yes, effective basement waterproofing eliminates the moisture source that causes musty odors and mold growth. Once water intrusion stops, humidity levels drop significantly and existing mold issues typically resolve naturally. However, severe mold problems may require professional remediation before or after waterproofing work. The key is stopping water infiltration completely – partial solutions often leave enough moisture for continued problems. Proper waterproofing creates a dry environment where mold cannot thrive, improving air quality throughout your home.
Yes, we provide warranty coverage on our waterproofing work because we stand behind the quality of our installations. Warranty terms depend on the specific services performed and materials used, but typically cover the waterproofing system’s performance for several years. This includes both materials and workmanship, so you’re protected if water intrusion occurs due to system failure. We explain warranty coverage in detail before starting work, and provide documentation that transfers with your home if you sell. Quality waterproofing should perform reliably for decades, and our warranty reflects that confidence.
