Wet Basement Solutions
Interior Waterproofing Systems
Water that gets into a basement through the walls or floor doesn’t always mean the outside of your foundation needs to be excavated. Interior waterproofing systems manage water after it enters the wall assembly, channeling it into a drainage system before it reaches your floor. For most Piedmont homes with chronic moisture problems, this is the most practical and durable long-term solution.
Addresses active water intrusion through walls and floor joints
Installed along the perimeter of your basement floor with minimal disruption
Works in tandem with a sump pump system to remove collected water
Wall Crack Repair
Cracks in poured concrete walls are one of the most common entry points for water in Triad homes. Depending on the type and location of the crack, the right fix may be injected epoxy or polyurethane sealant, a waterproof coating system applied to the interior wall surface, or both.
Stops active leaks through poured concrete wall cracks
Waterproof coatings reduce moisture migration through block or concrete walls
Often paired with an interior drainage system for comprehensive coverage
Sump Pump Installation
& Replacement
A sump pump is the final step in any interior water management system. It collects water from your drainage system or sump pit and pumps it away from the foundation. An undersized, aging, or improperly placed sump pump is one of the most common reasons waterproofed basements still take on water. We size and install sump pumps correctly for your basement’s water volume and recommend battery backup systems for homes that lose power during heavy storms.
Properly sized for your basement’s drainage volume and risk level
Battery backup available for continuous protection during power outages
Replaces failing or undersized existing pumps
Exterior Waterproofing
& Membrane Systems
Exterior waterproofing addresses water before it ever reaches your foundation wall by excavating around the perimeter, applying a waterproof membrane directly to the outside of the foundation, and installing drainage board and footing drains to redirect groundwater away from the structure. It’s the most comprehensive waterproofing approach available and the right solution for foundations with significant water pressure or deteriorating block walls.

WET BASEMENT CAUSES
Why is your basement wet or flooding?
Hydrostatic Pressure
After heavy rain, groundwater builds up around your foundation faster than the soil can absorb it. That pressure pushes against basement walls and floors, forcing water through cracks, joints, and even solid concrete over time. This is the most common cause of basement flooding in the Triad, largely because Piedmont clay soil doesn’t drain quickly.
Foundation Wall Cracks
Cracks that started as a structural issue often become a water problem too. Once a crack opens in a foundation wall, it becomes the easiest path for water to follow, especially during periods of sustained rain. A crack you’ve been watching for structural reasons can turn into a leak point without warning.
Poor Drainage
When water isn’t directed away from a home properly, whether from grading, downspouts, or the absence of a drainage system, it collects right where you don’t want it: against the foundation. Over time, that water finds its way in, even through walls that show no visible cracking.

Common Questions About Wet Basement Solutions
Why does my basement only flood after heavy rain?
Heavy rain saturates the soil around your foundation faster than it can drain, building up hydrostatic pressure against your walls and floor. That pressure forces water through any available opening, whether that’s a hairline crack, a joint, or even porous concrete. Basements that stay dry most of the year but flood during storms are usually dealing with a pressure problem rather than a constant leak, which is an important distinction for choosing the right fix.
Is a musty smell in my basement something to worry about?
Yes, a persistent musty smell almost always means moisture is present, even if you can’t see standing water. That moisture supports mold growth, which affects both your home’s structure and the air quality throughout the house. Catching it early, before visible water damage or mold growth sets in, typically means a simpler and less expensive fix than waiting until the problem becomes obvious.
Will waterproofing my basement also help my crawlspace?
Sometimes, especially if both spaces are affected by the same water intrusion. However, basements and crawlspaces are different environments with different failure points, so a full basement waterproofing job doesn’t automatically resolve crawlspace moisture. If you’re seeing signs of trouble in both areas, we’ll assess them separately during your inspection to make sure each gets the right fix.
What happens after I contact you about my home?
We’ll contact you within 5 minutes to discuss the concerns in your home and schedule a time for a Certified Field Inspector to visit.
