Our team has been involved in thousands of waterproofing and repair projects, giving us experience with both common basement leaks and difficult conditions that require more than a standard solution.
Experience matters when your home's foundation, basement or crawl space is at stake.

We believe reputation is built over time through communication, workmanship, standing behind our work and resolving customer concerns professionally.
Experience That Matters
Knowledge Built Through Real-World Experience
Waterproofing and foundation problems are not always straightforward. Our team's experience helps us understand the conditions behind the problem—not simply install a standard system.
More Than 100 Years of Combined Team Experience
Experience is one of the biggest differences between simply installing a drain and understanding how to solve a complicated water problem.

Thousands of Waterproofing & Repair Projects

Not One Solution for Every Home
We do not believe the same waterproofing system should automatically be sold to every homeowner. The right solution depends on the actual conditions of the property.
- Interior perimeter drainage
- Exterior foundation waterproofing
- Foundation crack repair
- Window well drainage
- Basement stairway drainage
- Sump pump replacement
- Battery backup protection
- Exterior French drains
- Downspout drainage
- Crawl space encapsulation
- Foundation wall reinforcement
- Structural repairs
Diagnose First. Recommend the Right Solution.
Our goal is to identify the cause first, then recommend the solution that fits the actual conditions of the property. In complicated homes, the right answer may involve one system—or a combination of several systems working together.
Experience With Difficult Waterproofing Problems
Many basement leaks can be diagnosed quickly. Others require much more investigation.
A home may already have a waterproofing system that isn't working properly. There may be several different water-entry points, structural movement, or an exterior drainage issue contributing to the same basement problem.
Our experience allows us to look beyond the visible puddle and determine how water is moving around, through and beneath the structure — especially important when previous repairs have already been attempted but the basement continues to leak.
Quality Materials Matter
A waterproofing system is only as dependable as the materials and installation behind it. Depending on the project, our systems may include:
- 4-inch perforated PVC drainage pipe
- Washed drainage stone
- Filter fabric
- Dura-Skrim wall protection
- Professional sump basins
- Zoeller sump pumps
- Battery backup systems
- PVC discharge piping
- Structural steel
- Fortress Carbon Fiber reinforcement
- Heavy-duty crawl space vapor barriers
- Professional antimicrobial products
We build long-term waterproofing around materials selected for durability — not simply the least expensive components available.
Controlled Advertising Costs Help Us Invest in the Work
Advertising can be one of the largest expenses in the home-improvement industry. Affordable Basement Waterproofing has developed a large customer referral base, which helps us control how much we spend attracting each new customer.
Keeping advertising costs under control lets us focus more resources on what matters after the customer hires us:
A Strong Customer Referral Base
A significant part of our business has been built through previous customers, customer referrals and professional relationships.
Referral business matters because customers put their own reputation behind recommending a company to a friend, family member or neighbor. Our goal is to complete work that customers feel comfortable recommending to others.
Warranty Protection
Qualifying waterproofing and structural repair systems may include warranty protection designed to provide additional confidence after the work is completed.
Transferable Lifetime Waterproofing Warranty
For qualifying interior basement waterproofing systems, we offer a transferable lifetime waterproofing warranty.
If the property is sold, the warranty can transfer with the home according to its written terms.
View Full Warranty DetailsFortress Carbon Fiber Limited Lifetime Warranty
For appropriate structural foundation-wall repairs, we may use Fortress Carbon Fiber reinforcement.
Qualifying Fortress systems carry a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty when installed according to manufacturer requirements.
Carbon fiber provides high-strength reinforcement with a low profile against the basement wall.
Foundation & Structural Repair
Built to Reinforce Moving Foundation Walls
Some foundation walls require a different form of structural reinforcement. Depending on wall condition and engineering requirements, steel I-beams may be used to reinforce bowing or moving basement walls.
The appropriate reinforcement method depends on the condition of the foundation wall and the requirements of the project.

Homeowners should be able to see the type of waterproofing and repair work they are purchasing. Our project photography shows actual systems, installations and repairs.
Our Core Systems
Waterproofing and repair systems should be selected around the actual conditions of the home. Our approach considers the structure, water source, drainage requirements and long-term performance of the system.
Professional Basement Waterproofing Systems
Interior installations may include an excavated perimeter trench, 4-inch perforated PVC pipe, washed stone, filter fabric, foundation weep holes, wall drainage, Dura-Skrim wall protection, professional sump pump system and exterior discharge.
The exact system depends on the basement's construction and the water problem being addressed.
Basement Waterproofing
Professional Sump Pump Systems
The sump pump is a critical component of many basement waterproofing systems. We commonly install Zoeller sump pumps with properly sized basins, check valves and discharge systems.
Battery backup and secondary pump protection are also available for additional protection during power outages or primary pump failure.
Sump Pump & Battery Backup
Crawl Space Experience
Crawl spaces can involve both moisture and structural problems. Our services may combine drainage, encapsulation, vapor barriers, sump pumps, dehumidification, structural beams, steel support columns and joist reinforcement.
We evaluate the crawl space as one complete system rather than treating individual problems in isolation.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair
More Than 40 Financing Programs Available
Necessary waterproofing and structural repairs don't always happen at a convenient financial time. Qualified homeowners may have access to more than 40 financing programs designed to provide flexible payment options.
Our office can help customers review available programs based on their project and financial needs.
