Basement Waterproofing
Wall Anchors
Foundation walls under sustained soil pressure can begin to bow inward well before the movement is visible. Our Grip-Tite wall anchor system stops further movement and stabilizes your basement walls without having to excavate the yard.
Interior Drainage Systems
Water entering at the floor-wall seam usually means hydrostatic pressure is building below or against the wall. An interior drainage system collects it before it spreads and routes it to your sump pump.
Yard Drainage
When the ground around your home slopes toward the foundation, surface water is pushed against the house. A yard drainage system intercepts that water before it reaches your basement.
Sump Pump Installation
Does your pump run constantly but still can’t keep up pace? Maybe it’s undersized or nearing the end of its life. Whatever the reason, we’ll assess your current setup and install reliable replacements that come with battery backup options incase of outages.
Sealing Cracks
Poured concrete and block foundations develop cracks over time. We locate these cracks and seal them during the inspection so that water can no longer use them as entry points.
Process
How a Basement Project Works
Free On-Site Inspection
We assess your basement and your home’s exterior together. Our team identifies how water is entering, what’s causing it, and what the foundation currently looks like.
Customized Basement Waterproofing
After the inspection, we put together a waterproofing plan specific to your home’s foundation type, layout, and the nature of the water problem you’re facing.
Installation by Our Own Crew
Our team carries out the work outlined in your waterproofing plan. Sometimes that means installing an interior drainage, a sump pump, exterior waterproofing, or a combination of these.
Client Walkthrough
When the work is done, we show you how everything works. You’ll understand what was installed to keep your basement dry, how it works, and what to expect.

Choosing the Right Waterproofing Solutions
The right fix to a wet basement starts with one question: where is the water coming from? Before recommending anything, we identify whether the problem is inside, outside, or both.
Type of Waterproofing Your Home Needs
If water is entering at the floor-wall joint, through the slab, or along the perimeter, you need an interior waterproofing system that’ll collect it and direct it to a sump pump. Exterior work is considered when water enters directly through the exterior wall or when surface drainage pushes water against the foundation.
Why Does the Same Spot Keep Leaking?
Clay-heavy soil in northern Allegheny County holds water after rain. Over time, the soil becomes saturated and pushes against walls and under the slab. In such cases, water finds the weakest opening, often a small crack or joint.
Simply patching the opening rarely provides a lasting fix because it does not relieve the water pressure causing the leak.
The Limits of Sealants
Sealants don’t remove pressure. When water keeps building, even if you patch one crack, it reappears through the next weakest spot. For recurring seepage or floor-joint leaks, the best solution is a drainage system is the more reliable solution.

FAQs About Basement Waterproofing in Allison Park
FAQs
What's the difference between waterproofing and crack repair?
Crack repair seals one entry point. Waterproofing addresses the pressure or drainage issue behind it. The inspection tells us what your home needs.
Does interior waterproofing mean digging up my yard?
No. Interior drainage is installed by opening the floor along the perimeter inside the basement. Exterior excavation is only considered when the situation calls for it.
My sump pump runs all the time; is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it may mean the drainage system is undersized, or the pump is aging. We can assess whether your current setup is adequate.
How long does waterproofing last?
Our interior drainage and foundation repair work comes with a lifetime transferable warranty, designed to protect the home indefinitely.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We refer customers to Dollar Bank, including financing for qualified homeowners.
