01What we do

Waterproofing & foundation services

From a single leaking wall to a full drainage system, we handle homes and businesses of every size and age, with the right fix for your property instead of a one-size-fits-all package.

  1. Basement Waterproofing Stop water coming through walls, cracks, and the floor joint with interior drainage, sealing, and sump systems.
  2. Crawl Space Waterproofing Get rid of standing water, dampness, and musty odors, and protect the structure above from rot and mold.
  3. Foundation Repair Repair leaking, cracked, and bowing foundation walls, including carbon fiber wall reinforcement.
  4. Sump Pumps & Battery Backups New and replacement sump pumps, plus battery backups that keep water moving when a storm knocks out the power.
  5. French Drains & Drainage Interior and exterior drainage, French drains, window well drains, and dry wells that move water away from your foundation.
  6. Remodeling Once it's dry, put it to work: basement finishing and home remodeling projects, including kitchens.

06FAQ

Questions about waterproofing

Have a question that isn't here? Call or text (856) 848-2202.

Are your estimates really free?

Yes. We come out, look at the problem, explain what is causing it, and give you a clear estimate at no cost and with no obligation.

What causes water in my basement?

Most basement leaks come from groundwater. When the soil around your foundation fills with water, hydrostatic pressure pushes it through cracks, porous block walls, and the joint where the wall meets the floor. A drainage system relieves that pressure by collecting the water and carrying it to a sump pump before it reaches your living space.

Will you try to sell me a system I don't need?

No. We only recommend the work your home actually needs, and we explain why. Our reviews mention this more than anything else.

How messy or disruptive is the work?

We protect your home with tarps and plastic barriers to keep dust out of living areas, and we clean up thoroughly when the job is done. Smaller jobs can be finished in about half a day, while larger drainage installations can take a few days.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. We stand behind every job with a satisfaction guarantee, and our waterproofing systems include warranty coverage. We will walk you through the specific warranty terms with your estimate.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. Discounts are available for seniors, civil servants, and military members. Just mention it when you call or text.

Can I text you instead of calling?

Absolutely. Text (856) 848-2202 and include your name and email address so we can follow up with you.
