Signs You Need Waterproofing
Signs You May Need Basement Waterproofing
Foundation failure in our region is most often caused by expansive clay soils, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, improper drainage, and the natural shifting of hillside terrain common throughout West Virginia and the Ohio Valley. Our certified foundation consultants are trained to identify the root cause of damage and engineer a solution that addresses the problem permanently - not just cosmetically.
These symptoms indicate moisture is present, but an evaluation is needed to determine where the water is entering.

Interior and Exterior Waterproofing Solutions
Interior Waterproofing
Interior systems collect and manage water that reaches the inside of the foundation. Depending on the property, solutions may include wall water-management systems, interior drainage, sump pumps, and treatment of specific water-entry points.
Exterior Waterproofing
Exterior solutions are designed to reduce or redirect water before it enters the basement. Depending on the property, this may include grading corrections, exterior drainage, window well improvements, excavation, wall tie backs, or treatment of the exterior foundation wall.

When Water Problems Involve More Than Waterproofing
Waterproofing controls or manages water, but it does not correct every basement problem. Cracked, bowing, or leaning walls may require carbon fiber stabilization or even wall tie backs. If settlement is discovered, a comprehensive foundation repair plan will be created specifically for the problem affecting your home.
