What You Get After We're Done

Your basement stays dry during the heaviest Long Island storms. No more rushing downstairs when it rains, no more moving stored items to higher ground, no more worrying about mold or that musty smell.

You can actually use your basement space. Whether that’s storage, a workshop, or extra living area, you’re not constantly concerned about water damage. Your foundation stays protected from the freeze-thaw cycles that wreak havoc on North Shore homes.

The air in your house improves too. When moisture stops seeping through basement walls, you eliminate the source of that damp, musty odor that works its way upstairs. Your home feels healthier, and you stop wondering if there’s mold growing somewhere you can’t see.

North Massapequa Basement Waterproofing Company

We Know Long Island Water Problems

At Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing LLC, we handle both the masonry and waterproofing sides of foundation problems. That matters because water issues often involve both structural and sealing components that other contractors miss.

We work throughout North Massapequa and understand how water moves around Long Island properties. The soil conditions, seasonal water table changes, and the way older foundations respond to our wet springs and heavy summer storms.

Most waterproofing companies only do interior work or only do exterior work. We do both, which means we can recommend the right approach for your specific situation instead of pushing whatever service we happen to offer.

Here's How We Stop Water Permanently

We start with a thorough basement inspection to identify exactly where water enters and why. This includes checking foundation walls, floor joints, window wells, and exterior grading around your home.

Based on what we find, we recommend either interior waterproofing, exterior waterproofing, or a combination approach. Interior solutions include basement wall sealers, drainage systems, and sump pump installation. Exterior work involves excavation, foundation sealing, and proper drainage installation.

The work itself depends on your specific needs, but we handle everything from minor crack sealing to complete basement waterproofing systems. We use professional-grade materials designed for Long Island’s climate and soil conditions. Once completed, you get a system that handles whatever weather comes your way.

What's Included in Our Waterproofing Work

Our basement waterproofing services cover both interior and exterior approaches. Interior work includes basement wall sealing, crack injection, drainage system installation, and sump pump setup when needed. We use basement sealers that actually penetrate and bond with concrete, not surface coatings that peel off in a few years.

For exterior basement waterproofing, we excavate around foundation walls, apply professional-grade waterproof membranes, install proper drainage systems, and ensure water flows away from your foundation. This is more involved but often the most effective long-term solution.

We also handle the masonry repairs that water damage often requires. Cracked foundation walls, deteriorated mortar joints, and structural issues that contribute to water infiltration. Having both skills under one roof means your waterproofing job addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms.

Basement waterproofing costs vary significantly based on your specific situation. Interior sealing and minor repairs might run a few thousand dollars, while complete exterior waterproofing with excavation can cost much more. The size of your basement, extent of water problems, and type of solution needed all factor into pricing. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your basement because cookie-cutter pricing doesn’t work for waterproofing. What matters most is getting the right solution for your specific water problems, not the cheapest option that might fail in two years.
It depends on where water enters your basement and what’s causing the problem. Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches foundation walls and is often the most effective long-term solution, but it requires excavation and costs more upfront. Interior waterproofing manages water that does get through and works well for many situations at lower cost. Sometimes you need both approaches. We inspect your basement, check exterior drainage, and recommend the approach that makes sense for your specific water problems and budget. The goal is stopping water permanently, not selling you the most expensive option.
Interior basement waterproofing typically takes 1-3 days depending on the scope of work. Applying basement wall sealers, crack injection, and installing drainage systems are relatively quick jobs. Exterior waterproofing takes longer because of excavation requirements – usually 3-7 days depending on your foundation size and soil conditions. Weather can extend exterior work timelines since we can’t excavate in heavy rain. We provide realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. The key is doing the work properly rather than rushing through it, because waterproofing mistakes are expensive to fix later.
Proper waterproofing stops water infiltration through foundation walls and floors, which eliminates the major source of basement moisture. However, some humidity is normal in basements, especially during Long Island’s humid summers. If your basement has been wet for years, you might need additional moisture control like dehumidification even after waterproofing. We address the water infiltration problems that cause serious moisture issues, mold growth, and that musty smell. Once water stops coming through your foundation, your basement environment improves dramatically, but some seasonal humidity management might still be helpful.
Yes, we stand behind our waterproofing work because we use proven methods and professional-grade materials. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work performed and materials used. Interior sealers, exterior membranes, and drainage systems all have different performance expectations. We explain warranty coverage before starting work so you know exactly what’s protected. Good waterproofing should last decades when done properly with quality materials. We’re not interested in callback jobs or temporary fixes that fail after the first heavy storm season.
Interior basement waterproofing can be done year-round since we’re working inside your home. Exterior waterproofing depends on ground conditions and weather. We can do exterior work during mild winter periods, but frozen ground and harsh conditions sometimes require waiting for better weather. The best time for exterior waterproofing is typically spring through fall when excavation conditions are optimal. However, if you have active water problems, we can often start with interior solutions to manage the immediate issues while planning exterior work for appropriate weather windows. Emergency situations get priority regardless of season.
