Basement Waterproofing, Insulation, & More in The Finger Lakes

Addressing basement leaks & moisture issues

No matter where your home leaks, whether it is from poorly flashed windows or leaky plumbing fixtures, excess water nurtures mold and bacteria. It almost surely will cause damage to your house too. Many homeowners do not realize that much of the air they breathe enters the house from the basement or crawl space, so fixing water or moisture problems is a top priority.

Dehumidification is often part of any strategy for reducing high crawl space or basement moisture levels. Basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and basement insulation are other effective ways to limit moisture from entering your living space. If not addressed, crawl space or basement mold and mildew can significantly worsen over time. Severe damage from mold can affect your home and personal property, while allergens from mold spores and dust mites damage your health.

Your basement is part of a system

Your home is a system and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your basement or crawlspace has excess moisture, the negative effects will extend to every part of your home, including your health.

Our complete lineup of basement waterproofing products includes all the solutions you need for a dry, comfortable, odor-free basement or crawl space; no matter what is causing your issues. These solutions include:

Basement waterproofing

To create a dry basement with a regulated relative humidity, you may need a reliable waterproofing system. With all the innovations that have been made in the last decade on old-fashioned drain tile, French drain, and weeping tile systems, along with the modern and more reliable sump pumps, a dry basement is just a phone call away.

Crawl space encapsulation

Instead of making temporary repairs on your crawl space, let us permanently solve your problems. We don't just winterize crawl space pipes or vents. Instead, we seal and encapsulate your entire crawl space to bring your plumbing and heating system inside your home's conditioned space. This will eliminate excess moisture that can lead to health and comfort problems.

Basement insulation

When installed correctly, basement insulation can transform your damp, cold basement into a drier, more-comfortable living space. It can also eliminate mold and humidity problems in the below-grade space as well as lower your energy costs.

Basement dehumidifiers

Mold and dust mites thrive in conditions where there are high levels of humidity and moisture. Both mold and dust mites need moisture from the air to survive. When humidity levels drop below 60%, they will not be able to thrive. No matter what basement or crawl space improvements are needed, adding a dehumidifier is almost always recommended.
