What Is Basement Waterproofing?
Basement waterproofing is a specialized process that reduces the risk of water damage in your basement and around your home’s foundation. Waterproofing involves a combination of repairs, structural support, and drainage. Waterproofing techniques can redirect stormwater away from your foundation and basement, pump water out of your basement, and reduce your risk of significant water damage in the event of a flood, burst pipe, or heavy storm.

Best Methods for Waterproofing Your Basement
There are many different methods for waterproofing a basement. The best choice is a combination of methods that work together to address existing problems, improve the structural stability of your home, and reduce your risk of future water damage:
- Customized Exterior Drainage Solutions – Your home’s exterior drainage makes sure that water from storms will drain away from your home instead of pooling up around the foundation or seeping into your basement. We offer French drain installation, footing drain installation, gutter system installation, and soil gradation services.
- Sump Pump Installation – A sump pump can pump standing water up and out of your basement, so it drains away from your foundation.
- Basement Floor Drain Installation – A basement floor drain allows standing or pooling water to drain out of your basement.
- Dehumidifier Installation – A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air, reducing the risk of mold or mildew growth.
- Interior and Exterior Sealant Application – An interior or exterior waterproof paint or sealant can prevent moisture from seeping in. We use DuraShield to protect your home from moisture and improve insulation.
- Foundation Repair – If you have any existing foundation damage, structural issues, or cracks and gaps, we will fix them to reduce the risk of moisture entering the basement.
- Basement Ventilation Solutions – Our basement ventilation solutions can remove moisture and reduce your risk of mold and mildew. Our EZ Breathe ventilation system guarantees a moisture-free home without filters or extensive maintenance.
Our Basement Waterproofing Process
We use a meticulous, comprehensive, and highly personalized basement waterproofing process. We understand that no two clients and no two homes are alike. We don’t take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to basement waterproofing. We begin with a detailed analysis of your home. We assess its age, condition, and possible points of entry for water and moisture. We evaluate your drainage and consider the weather and climate in the area. We will then give you a full report of the problem areas and our professional recommendations for solutions. Most basement waterproofing jobs take two or three days. When the job is complete, you will have a cleaner, healthier home with improved indoor air quality and a significantly lower risk of mold, mildew, structural problems, and other health and safety issues.
Choosing the Right Basement Waterproofing Company
Choosing the right basement waterproofing company is key to ensuring the job is done safely and correctly. You should start by asking other professionals in the home improvement industry to recommend a waterproofing company. You can also ask friends and family for referrals. Once you have a few company names, you should visit their websites and evaluate their level of experience, services offered, and any special certifications or licensing they have and then read customer reviews to make sure the company is legitimate. Before paying a company or entering into a contract, you should schedule an in-home consultation and get an estimate. During the in-home consultation, ask any questions and get a sense of how the company’s representatives communicate with you. You want to choose a company you can trust that is straightforward, honest, and good at communicating. At Everdry Waterproofing of Pittsburgh PA, we hold three unique patents in basement waterproofing processes and offer a lifetime warranty for basement waterproofing.
