Basement Waterproofing Process Malverne

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your basement to identify exactly where water is entering and why. Every basement is different, so cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.

Next, we explain what we found in plain English – no technical jargon or scare tactics. You’ll know exactly what needs to be fixed and why, whether that’s interior waterproofing, exterior work, or both.

Then we get to work using professional-grade materials designed for Long Island conditions. We don’t rush through jobs or cut corners on materials, because basement waterproofing needs to last decades, not just a few years.

You’ll know the job is done right when your basement stays dry through the next heavy rain.

Interior Exterior Basement Waterproofing

Complete Waterproofing Solutions Available

We handle both interior and exterior basement waterproofing, depending on what your specific situation requires. Interior solutions include basement wall sealers, drainage systems, and moisture barriers that stop water from getting into your living space.

Exterior waterproofing tackles the problem at the source – preventing water from reaching your foundation walls in the first place. This often involves excavation and applying waterproof membranes, but it’s the most comprehensive long-term solution.

Some basements need a combination approach. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your home and budget, not just the most expensive option. The goal is a basement that stays dry year-round, regardless of what Long Island weather throws at it.

Basement waterproofing costs vary significantly based on your specific situation – the size of your basement, severity of water issues, and which solutions are needed. Interior waterproofing typically costs less upfront than exterior work, but exterior solutions often provide more comprehensive protection. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your basement because every home is different. The investment is almost always less than dealing with ongoing water damage, mold remediation, or major foundation repairs down the road.
The best approach depends on your specific water problems and budget. Interior waterproofing manages water that’s already trying to enter your basement – it’s often more affordable and doesn’t require excavation. Exterior waterproofing prevents water from reaching your foundation walls in the first place, which is more comprehensive but involves more work. Many Long Island homes benefit from a combination approach. We’ll assess your situation and recommend what makes the most sense for lasting results.
Most interior basement waterproofing projects take 1-3 days, depending on the size of your basement and complexity of the work. Exterior waterproofing typically takes longer – often 3-7 days – because it involves excavation around your foundation. Weather can affect exterior projects, so we plan accordingly. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. The key is doing the job right, not rushing through it just to finish quickly.
Professional waterproofing stops water intrusion, but some humidity is normal in basements. The goal is eliminating standing water, seepage, and the excessive moisture that causes mold and damage. A properly waterproofed basement should stay dry during storms and not have that musty smell or visible moisture problems. For optimal comfort, you might still want to run a dehumidifier, especially during humid Long Island summers, but you won’t be dealing with actual water problems anymore.
Common signs include water stains on walls, musty odors, visible moisture or puddles after rain, white mineral deposits on basement walls, or peeling paint. If you’ve noticed any of these issues, especially after heavy rains or spring snowmelt, your basement likely needs waterproofing attention. Don’t wait until the problem gets worse – water issues rarely resolve themselves and usually cause more damage over time. Even minor seepage can lead to mold growth and structural problems if left untreated.
Yes, we stand behind our waterproofing work because we use proven methods and quality materials designed for Long Island conditions. The specific warranty details depend on which waterproofing solutions your basement needs, and we’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting any work. Our goal is a basement that stays dry for years to come, not just a quick fix that fails after the first major storm. When waterproofing is done right with proper materials, it should protect your basement for decades.
