Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Wet Basement

Older homes with brick or clay tile foundations are especially vulnerable to moisture issues due to the porous nature of these materials. These basements often trap humidity and odors, leading to persistent wetness and mold growth. Our waterproofing approach includes specialized vapor barriers or encapsulation systems for these foundation types to eliminate moisture and improve air quality.

For homes with block or poured concrete foundations, we tailor the solution using internal drainage, sump systems, and thinner moisture barriers where needed — especially behind finished walls.

🔹 Basement Dewatering
