We Offer to Residents of Glenshaw
If you are seeing water in your basement, the first step is figuring out where it is coming from. Moisture can enter through cracks, collect along the wall-floor joint, or build up around the foundation after heavy rain.
The right repair depends on the source of the problem, which is why Advanced Basement Solutions starts by inspecting the basement and the conditions around the home.
Basement Waterproofing
Interior Drainage System
If water is showing up along the basement perimeter or where the walls meet the floor, an interior French drain may help manage it. The drainage channel collects incoming water and directs it to a sump pump basin instead of allowing it to spread across the basement floor.
Sump Pump Installation
If your existing sump pump cannot manage incoming water reliably, we can install a sump pump setup suited to your property’s drainage demands.
Our pumps come with battery backup for additional protection when the primary pump cannot operate during a power outage.
Sealing Cracks
Both poured concrete and block foundations develop cracks as they age, and the mid-century homes common in Glenshaw are no exception. We identify and seal these cracks during the inspection so water no longer has a direct path into the basement.
Wall Anchors for Bowing Foundation Walls
A basement wall that is bowing, cracking, or moving inward may need structural stabilization.
At Advanced Basement Solutions, we install Grip-Tite® wall anchors for qualifying foundation problems. Our system uses an interior wall plate connected to an exterior earth plate to counteract pressure against the foundation wall and stabilize it.
Yard Drainage
When surface water flows downhill toward your foundation, the ground around your home stays saturated. A yard drainage system intercepts that runoff before it reaches the basement walls.

Choosing the Right Waterproofing Solution
The right waterproofing system depends on where the water is entering and what is causing it.
Interior vs. Exterior Waterproofing
Interior waterproofing is often used when water enters along the wall-floor joint, through the slab, or around the basement perimeter. An interior French drain collects that water and directs it to a sump pump.
Exterior drainage may be needed when water is collecting around the foundation or surface runoff is contributing to the problem. In some cases, interior and exterior drainage work together to manage water more effectively.
Why Sealants May Not Solve Recurring Leaks
Sealing a visible crack can help in some situations, but it does not remove the water pressure around the foundation. If seepage keeps returning, the source may need to be managed with a drainage system instead.
Cracks should also be inspected for signs of foundation movement, especially if the wall is bowing or shifting.
Choosing the Right Solution for Your Wet Basement
One basement may need an interior French drain and sump pump. Another may benefit from better exterior drainage. Some homes need a combination of the two, while visible wall movement may point to a foundation repair issue that should be addressed separately.
During an assessment, we thoroughly inspect your basement and surrounding property. We look for conditions that may be contributing to the problem, and recommend options based on what is found and what the homeowner wants to accomplish.

FAQs About Basement Waterproofing in Glenshaw
FAQs
Does interior waterproofing require digging outside?
No. Interior drainage is installed from inside the basement by opening the floor along the perimeter. Exterior work is only recommended when the situation specifically calls for it.
How long will the basement waterproofing system last?
Our interior drainage and foundation repair work comes with a lifetime transferable warranty, built to protect the home indefinitely.
Is a constantly running sump pump a concern?
It can signal that the pump is wearing out, that the system feeding it is undersized, or that the water load around your foundation exceeds what the current setup can handle. We can assess whether an upgrade is needed.
What separates basement waterproofing from crack repair?
Crack repair closes one opening. Basement waterproofing resolves the drainage or pressure issue behind it. The inspection determines which solution fits.
