Why Basement Waterproofing is Necessary Before Finishing - Image 1

A leaky basement is bad enough - but when your basement was finished with no waterproofing in place, it's a big issue with an extensive solution. It is natural for homes to settle and change as the topography around the home is altered, this can lead to leaks and unforeseen water issues. When a finished basement starts to leak, we need to remove the damaged walls to do perimeter waterproofing. Our basement solution is crafted with our award-winning WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, ThermalDry Wall insulation and moisture barrier, and then our finishing department and plumbing can follow up and help you put your home back together again. 

Some of the things we do to restore the walls we removed

  • Framing
  • Drywall
  • Baseboards/Molding 

Other Items

  • Flooring with our ThermalDry basement flooring systems
