OUR SERVICES
Foundation & Basement Waterproofing Services We Provide in Murrysville
Basement Waterproofing
Foundation Stabilization for Bowing and Leaning Walls
We stabilize bowing and leaning basement walls by identifying what is causing the movement and installing Grip-Tite wall anchors where needed.
This is usually needed in older homes in Murrysville, especially on sloped lots with concrete block foundations, because pressure from the surrounding soil can cause horizontal cracks, inward movement, and serious structural damage over time.
Interior Drainage Systems
We install interior drainage along the perimeter of your basement floor. Water that enters through the cove joint or a hairline crack is immediately captured and routed to the sump pump, rather than sitting on your slab.
Exterior Drainage and Yard Solutions
We install exterior drains and adjust the slope of the yard to keep surface water away from the foundation. Our systems are great for homes on hillside lots near Sardis Road and Old William Penn Highway, where runoff can flow downhill during storms and collect against basement walls.
Sump Pump Installation and Battery Backup
We install sump pumps to remove water before it rises across the basement floor, then add a Blue Angel battery backup to keep the system running during an outage.
This gives Murrysville homeowners extra protection during severe storms, when heavy runoff, rising groundwater, and power loss can happen at the same time.
Crack Repair on Block and Poured Walls
We inspect cracks in concrete blocks and poured walls to determine what caused them and whether the foundation is still moving. Once we understand the problem, we complete the appropriate repair instead of simply sealing the surface.
Note: Horizontal cracks in block walls can indicate soil pressure and may require stabilization before repair.

Step-by-Step Basement Waterproofing Procedure
Free On-Site Inspection
We look at the full picture: foundation walls, cove joints, sump pit, grading, and downspout discharge. On a Murrysville lot, where the water comes from often matters more than where it shows up.
A Solution Built For Your Home
We put together a basement waterproofing plan that matches your foundation type, lot, and water source. That might be drainage, wall anchors, a sump pump, crack repair, or a combination of these.
Installation By Our Own Crew
Most projects wrap up in one to three days, and we keep the work area contained so the rest of your home stays livable.
Client Review
Before we leave, we explain everything that was installed and how it works.

Why Hillside Homes in Murrysville Get Water Even on Dry Days
Much of Murrysville sits on slopes that drain toward Turtle Creek and Haymaker Run. Here’s what that means for your basement:
Groundwater Does Not Need Rain
On a hillside, water that fell three days ago is still moving downhill through the soil. Your foundation is in the way. That is why your basement can be damp on a sunny week and why your sump pump might cycle on without any storm in the forecast.
Older Foundations Were Not Built For This
The older block foundations were built when waterproofing meant a coat of tar on the outside wall. That coating has been failing for decades. Once it finally breaks, your block will soak up water like a sponge.
Sealing The Wall From Inside Does Not Stop It
Paint-on sealers and patch products treat the surface where water appears. You patch one spot and water finds a new crack. Patching does not address the pressure pushing it through. A proper drainage system gives that water a path out, so it stops looking for one through your wall.

What Makes Us Stand Out
Choose Us
Local Since 2003
From older block-foundation ranches to new construction in the newer plans off Route 22, we have worked in Murrysville for over two decades. Our local experience helps us trace basement and foundation problems back to the actual cause, whether it is poor drainage, hillside pressure, settlement, or structural movement.
Lifetime Transferable Warranty
Our interior drainage, wall anchors, and piers carry a lifetime transferable warranty. If you sell the home, the warranty transfers to the new owner, which is useful when a buyer’s inspector flags the basement.
No Subcontractors
Every technician on your property works full-time for Advanced Basement Solutions. That keeps the quality consistent and keeps you from dealing with three different companies if something needs follow-up.
Straight Recommendations
We give homeowners clear, honest recommendations based on what the property actually needs. If the issue only requires a small repair, we will say so. If a larger solution is necessary, we explain why. Our straightforward approach is why so much of our work comes from referrals.

FAQs About Basement Waterproofing in Murrysville
FAQs
My home was built recently. Do new houses also get basement leaks?
Yes. We see basement leaks in newer Murrysville developments as well.
After construction, the soil placed around the foundation can settle and form low spots where water collects. Downspouts may also discharge too close to the house. Together, these drainage issues can direct rainwater toward the foundation and into the basement.
How do I know if my basement wall is bowing or just cracked?
A vertical hairline crack in a poured wall is usually shrinkage and may only need sealing. A horizontal crack in a block wall, or a wall that appears to be leaning inward at the top, is a structural concern.
During our free basement inspection, we measure the wall to tell you which one you have.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We refer customers to Dollar Bank, including financing for qualified homeowners.
