Basement Waterproofing – Keep the Water out for Good!

It’s that time of year again, time for warmer weather and thunderstorms. The heavier the rainfall the bigger the risk for water getting into your basement. Water in the basement can lead to serious foundation problems. Whether your home is old or new, water can ruin a basement quickly. There are several ways water can get into your basement. The good news is, we have a solution for them all!

Some common problems are water leaking over the top of the foundation, through cracks in the floor, water seeping between the basement wall and floor, leaking wall cracks and leaking windows. If you see any of these signs, it’s important to get them looked at right away. There are a few ways to keep water out depending on the situation of the home. Minor cracks can be fixed with epoxy crack sealing where we inject epoxy or urethane to form a waterproof barrier. If it is a larger problem we can install a waterproofing barrier.


What Makes Our Basement Waterproofing Better?

At PierMagic, we engineered our basement waterproofing systems to keep water out permanently. We take the time to determine what is causing the leak so that we can recommend the best solution.

Ideally there should be a consistent moisture content in the soils surrounding your home foundation.


To obtain this we install a waterproofing barrier around the home and replace the soils with a new footing drain and gravel, leaving enough soil on top for vegetation and landscaping. Our waterproofing barrier does not allow water to gather around the home’s foundation. The gravel is strong and stable, unlike the highly expansive soils surrounding your home. The waterproofing barrier also removes the pressure on the foundation wall which will keep the foundation from shifting and causing cracks. We have every detailed covered when it comes to basement waterproofing. Once you contact us you will quickly see why we are the best at basement waterproofing.
