Professional Foundation & Basement Waterproofing in Rochester, NY.
Many homeowners are under the assumption that their foundation has indeed been waterproofed when in fact it has only been dam-proofed. There is a big difference between these two techniques. Dam-proofing may prevent a certain amount of water vapor from transferring into your basement, but in order to effectively protect your basement from water infiltration it must be properly waterproofed. Basement Waterproofing is a must for any home that has a wet damp basement.
Foundation and Basement Waterproofing is the only way to permanently stop water and water vapor from entering your homes foundation basement walls.
Crack Repair to Basement Water Leak
We don’t use injection methods like some companies. That’s just expensive and temporary. We use a rigid plastic sealer to direct any water down into your system to be routed to your sump pit. This method shields your basement from direct exposure to seepage and is guaranteed for life. Drying Moisture in a Basement Creates a healthier home environment by improving indoor air quality through moisture control, ventilation and a complete home air exchange of harmful contaminants. If you currently have a dehumidifier we can direct it to drain directly into your sump pump pit so you don’t have to keep emptying it manually. We can also install a new Humidex dehumidifier , instead of draining, it exhausts moisture from the basement to the outside.
