Basement Moisture Control for a Safe, Healthy, & Long-Lasting Foundation
Basements are vulnerable to moisture buildup and humidity, not to mention flooding in homes with poor drainage. Not only can moisture in your basement exacerbate musty smells and dampness, which in turn can promote hazardous mold growth, but it can even jeopardize the stability of your foundation.
We address these issues by coming up with interior and exterior basement waterproofing solutions tailored to every Cambridge home's particular needs, such as sealing cracks, sealing permeable walls, installing and maintaining drainage systems to keep water out of your basement, and more. By taking a comprehensive approach with our waterproofing strategies, we can protect both your home and your foundation so you can enjoy a healthy home and peace of mind.
Addressing Drainage Issues Around Your Home
Water intrusion and drainage issues can jeopardize your basement and foundation, whether it's from rising groundwater or overflow from clogged gutters. An important step in our basement waterproofing is fixing any drainage issues to minimize the amount of water that leaks in and around your basement. This is why we often do as much waterproofing work around the outside of a home as we do on the inside!
Our team of masonry experts can seal exterior walls, hardscapes, stairs & steps to prevent seepage and redirect excess water away from the base of your Cambridge home, We can also perform gutter repairs, chimney repairs, and any other fixes necessary to mitigate leaks and moisture buildup. Optimizing your home's drainage systems not only keeps your basement nice and dry but also helps maintain a safer home overall.

Basement Waterproofing 101: Protect Your Home from Water Damage
For homeowners in Cambridge, a dry, healthy basement is essential for both the structural integrity and overall comfort of your home. Unfortunately, because your basement sits below ground level, they're particularly vulnerable to water intrusion and moisture buildup, which can lead to all sorts of problems […]
Frequently Asked Basement Waterproofing Questions
We strongly suggest looking into basement waterproofing services if you notice any signs such as these:
- Visible cracks in the foundation.
- Water stains, mildew, or mold on walls.
- Dampness or musty odors.
- Standing water or puddles in the basement after heavy rain.
- Efflorescence (white powdery substance) on the walls.
There are a few ways we can waterproof a basement. We often make interior updates like painting walls with waterproof coatings or installing sump pumps, French drains, or drainage systems within your yard and your basement to redirect water. As noted above, however, we frequently do exterior waterproofing by seal coating walls and fixing drainage issues outside. Exterior waterproofing can last up to 30 years, while interior drainage systems may need upgrading once every 5-10 years (though with proper maintenance, they can last much longer). The specific work we need to do on each job depends on the cause of the basement's moisture issues, so each waterproofing job is tailored to the property.
