Interior waterproofing (or sometimes known as internal waterproofing) repairs your basement leaks from the inside of your home and is the best solution for a damp or wet basement. When your basement becomes damp and moist, it is best to have an interior waterproofing done in your basement to prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which will create harmful smells and bacteria that affect your health. This is also one of the waterproofing solutions that will help take care of hydrostatic pressure that builds up and causes a wet basement.

A sump pump is a water pump that is used to remove water that has been collected in a water-collecting sump basin (sump pit), found in the basement of your home. The sump pit also has a cover to prevent debris from going in and damaging the mechanism. Sump pumps often work together with an interior waterproofing system, and waterproofing companies will recommend having both inside your basement to have a full waterproofing system. Our sump pumps can be installed with backup battery that will make sure your sump pump is always running, even when the power in your house has been disrupted.

Foundation cracks are almost certain to result in a wet basement when left unattended. When basement leaks do happen, an epoxy crack injection can be one of the waterproofing solutions that waterproofing companies can use provided the conditions are right. This type of basement foundation repair uses a two part epoxy resin to seal your foundation wall from water leaks and further water damage. The epoxy is injected into the foundation cracks using special ports placed inside the crack. Then the crack is filled and the epoxy solution bonds the pieces of concrete foundation back together.

Horizontal cracks occur with the soil [mainly clay] constantly expanding and contracting putting the basement wall under a lot of pressure. Some walls especially block foundation walls tend to bow.
