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.

Backup Power & Sump Pump
Backup power supplies can be installed with your sump pump system. No additional plumbing required. If the power goes out, you won’t have some under powered sump pump in charge of getting the water out. Unlike most battery back-up systems that require the use of an inferior 12 volt pump, the Pump Sentry unit inverts 12 volt DC power to normal house power running your existing pump. This gives you the advantage of maintaining your full pumping capacity in the face of power loss. Your primary sump pump will still be in charge. Pumping out more gallons per hour than most any battery backup sump pumps could. Our Zoeller 1/3 horse power pump gives you performance and dependability that can’t be beat. With the capability of pumping over 40 gallons per minute, along with it’s cast iron and stainless steel construction, you can count on virtually noise free operation for years to come. We install this reliable pump in a corrosion free basin over 2 feet in depth complete with a rugged cover that fits flush to your basement floor.
