You look down see three feet of water covering your basement floor. What do you do?

A Few Tricks Up Our Sleeves
After your basement is dry, we plan to help you keep it that way. The next step in this process is to ascertain where the water came from and take it from there. Along with emergency services, we can also provide you with basement waterproofing. We have been in the waterproofing industry for more than 20 years and know what signs to look for. Out technicians will install or replace your sump pump to make sure if there is water threatening your home, it is quickly removed before it gets in. We will also check the perimeter drain systems, exterior drains, and the ventilation systems in the basement or crawlspace. These items are essential to keeping water out of your home. We will also apply a damp proofing membrane and wall coating that will help keep your basement dry.
