Basement Waterproofing in Delaware
Water can enter a basement through several different points. Identifying where groundwater is entering is an important part of designing an effective waterproofing system.
Where Basement Water Can Enter
Water intrusion can occur from several areas of a basement. Identifying the actual entry points helps determine the appropriate drainage solution.
Foundation walls
Block wall cores
Foundation cracks
Wall-floor joints
Beneath the basement floor
Window wells
Basement stairways
Utility penetrations
Exterior drainage problems
Designed to collect groundwater and direct it toward a sump pump before it reaches the finished basement area.
System design depends on the source and condition of the water intrusion.
How the Waterproofing System Works
Our interior waterproofing systems are designed to collect groundwater and direct it toward a sump pump before it reaches the finished basement area.
Built for Drainage. Designed for Access.
Where appropriate, cleanout access allows the drainage system to be inspected or serviced in the future.
Serviceable 4-Inch PVC Drainage
A waterproofing system should not simply be installed beneath the floor and forgotten.
Where appropriate, we install cleanout access so the 4-inch PVC drainage system can be inspected or serviced in the future.
Designed to provide a dedicated path for groundwater collection and drainage.
Cleanout access can provide an opportunity for future inspection and servicing.
Accessible sections can make future system inspection or flushing easier.
Serviceable drainage components can simplify future maintenance when needed.
Proper access may reduce the need to reopen finished flooring for routine service.
We believe future serviceability is an important part of a professional waterproofing system.

DELAWAREFoundation Crack Repair
in Delaware
Not every foundation crack means the same thing. Some cracks primarily allow water to enter, while others may indicate structural movement.

Sump Pump Installation
in Delaware
A sump pump is one of the most important components of an interior basement waterproofing system. Its job is to collect water entering the drainage system and move it safely away from the home.
We install and replace sump pump components based on the drainage conditions and requirements of the property.

Exterior Waterproofing
& French Drains in Delaware
Some water problems are better addressed from the exterior. Depending on the property and drainage conditions, exterior waterproofing can address water before it reaches the foundation interior.
Excavate
Foundation excavation provides access to the exterior foundation wall.
Seal
Foundation walls are prepared and sealed according to project requirements.
Drain
Exterior French drains use 4-inch perforated PVC, washed stone and filter fabric.
Discharge
Water is directed toward an appropriate discharge point where site conditions allow.
PVC cleanouts • Washed stone • Filter fabric • Daylight drainage • Grading • Downspout drainage

WINDOW WELL DRAINAGE
Window Well
Drain Installation
Window wells can collect large amounts of stormwater, especially during heavy rainfall. Without appropriate drainage, collected water can remain around the basement window and foundation.
A properly designed window well drain can direct collected water into an approved drainage system rather than allowing it to accumulate around the basement window.
Basement Stairway Drainage
in Delaware
Exterior basement stairways can collect significant amounts of rainwater. A properly installed Stairway Speedy Drain can capture this water and connect it to an appropriate drainage system.
