Fix the water pathway, not just the wet spot.
Basement water can enter through foundation walls, footings, window wells or failing drainage systems. We assess the likely source and recommend a practical repair.
What we can help with
- Exterior foundation waterproofing
- Interior drainage and weeping tile
- Foundation crack repair options
- Sump connection and discharge planning
How we approach the work
Assess the water source
We review where and when water enters, grading, existing drains and access to the foundation.
Compare repair options
Depending on the condition, exterior excavation or an interior drainage approach may be appropriate.
Install drainage and protection
Work may involve waterproofing membranes, weeping tile, clear stone, proper drainage connections and sump systems as specified.
Questions we hear from homeowners
Is interior or exterior waterproofing better?
It depends on the water source, foundation configuration, access and site constraints. Each method solves different problems.
Will waterproofing stop sewage from backing up?
Not by itself. Sewer backups require drain diagnosis and possibly a backwater valve or sewer repair.
Will you have to excavate around the house?
Exterior waterproofing usually involves excavation. An interior drainage method may be an alternative in some situations.
Need a recommendation for your property?
Every sewer and foundation system is different. Tell Viper what you're seeing and we'll help determine a sensible next step.
