The Wet Basement Problem

FINGER LAKES BASEMENTS FIGHT WATER CONSTANTLY.

Living near the Finger Lakes means living with water. High water tables, clay soils that hold moisture, and heavy seasonal rains create the perfect storm for basement water problems.

A wet basement isn't just an inconvenience—it's a threat to your home's structural integrity, your indoor air quality, and your property value. Mold, mildew, and rot thrive in damp conditions.

The good news? We've been solving Finger Lakes water problems for years. Our waterproofing systems are designed specifically for our region's unique challenges.

Signs You Need Basement Waterproofing:

  • Water pooling on your basement floor
  • Damp or wet walls, especially after rain
  • Musty odors or visible mold growth
  • White mineral deposits (efflorescence) on walls
  • Peeling paint or bubbling wallpaper
  • Rust stains on appliances or furniture
Our Solutions

WATERPROOFING OPTIONS THAT WORK.

We offer multiple approaches to basement waterproofing, tailored to your specific situation and budget.

Interior Drainage Systems

A perimeter drain installed inside your basement collects water before it reaches your floor and channels it to a sump pump. This is our most popular solution—effective, affordable, and minimally disruptive.

  • No exterior excavation required
  • Works in any weather or season
  • Typically completed in 1-2 days

Exterior Waterproofing

We excavate around your foundation to apply waterproof membranes and install drainage tile. This stops water before it ever reaches your walls—the most comprehensive protection available.

  • Prevents water from reaching walls
  • Protects foundation structure
  • Best for severe water problems

Sump Pump Systems

The heart of any interior waterproofing system. We install reliable, high-capacity sump pumps with battery backup to keep your basement dry even during power outages.

  • Battery backup available
  • High-capacity pumps for heavy flow
  • Alarm systems to alert you of issues

Vapor Barriers & Dehumidification

Control humidity and moisture vapor with professional-grade barriers and dehumidifiers. Essential for finishing your basement or storing sensitive items.

  • Eliminates musty odors
  • Prevents mold and mildew
  • Improves indoor air quality
