How do I prevent my basement from getting wet?

Protecting your basement from water leaks or flooding starts with identifying water intrusion sources and installing a high-quality basement waterproofing system. Your system should be tailored to your home's individual needs and may include waterproofing products such as an interior drainage system and sump pump. Learn more about how you can prevent water in your basement.

How can I make a damp basement dry?

When it comes to keeping your damp basement dry, installing a dependable basement waterproofing system is key. An interior drainage system and sump pump work in tandem to keep water out of the basement and away from your foundation while a dehumidifier keeps the air dry and prevents condensation from forming on walls, ceilings, and windows. Learn more about how to make a damp basement dry.

How do I fix a leaky basement foundation?

There are many foundation waterproofing methods and products available to prevent water intrusion. However, most water problems can't be solved with a single product or treatment. Working with a reputable waterproofing company is the best way to ensure the basement waterproofing systems that best suit your specific needs are installed. Learn more about how to fix a leaky basement foundation.

How do I get rid of mold and musty odors in my basement?

Mold and mildew thrive in dark, moist environments where organic materials are present, such as a basement or crawl space. Fixing water leaks and protecting against future moisture intrusion with a reliable waterproofing system, as well as keeping the air dry with a dehumidifier, prevents mold growth and odors in your basement. Learn more about how to get rid of mold and musty odors in the basement.

How can I warm up a cold basement?

You can make your basement feel more comfortable and reduce your home heating and cooling costs by insulating your basement. There are many different types of basement insulation to choose from, each of which offers different benefits. Learn more about how to warm up a cold basement.

Project in Boulder

Our current sump pump system is quite old and looks in need of replacement. We'd like to update to a system that includes a battery backup and would like to assess whether the pit also needs to be replaced or just the pump.

Project in Longmont

Basement leaking from ground up

Project in Boulder

We've started to have water seeping through vinyl panels over our foundation. Need this looked at and recommendations.

Project in Boulder

I have a room off of my garage (under the front porch) that has some water penetrating into the space. I need it waterproofed (caulked and any of the other stuff you all do) from the inside of the room.

Project in Erie

I'm looking for a solution to a window well that collects water like a sump pump or french drain. I have a window well that faces the uphill side and when we get a lot of snow or rain, has a tendency to collect water and sometimes gets high enough that it reaches the window and has leaked in a few times in the 7 years we've live here. I've resorted to keeping my eye on it during big storms and scooping buckets of water out of there so it doesn't come into the window and the basement. But looking for a more permanent long-term solution.

Project in Boulder

Water seeped into a part of our basement after the recent heavy rain. Had never happened before.

Project in Louisville

Project in Lyons

Basement water due to heavy rains... no sump pump presently.

Project in Lafayette

We noticed that the basement was flooded as of this morning- June 7th. Had not been flooded prior, even though we have had an excessive amount of rain We have a sump pump in the laundry room that is encased in a concrete trough. It is full to the brim and the water in the sump pump is blue from the water draining from the washing machine. We tried bucketing out a lot of the water but it would just keep filling up Also, there is water all over the basement floor that is not blue - it is clear. A good half of the basement is flooded. At this point we don't think it's coming from the sump pump not working because of the difference in color. It is flooded in the workshop, the laundry room, part of the storage room and a good part of the family room downstairs. The house relies on well water and I don't know if it's a possibility that the underground well has become overfilled and is possibly oversaturating the house

Project in Louisville

Egress Windows

Project in Boulder

Sump pump itself appears to be working fine, though it looks older than it is and covered in sediment, so maybe it should be cleaned/serviced. Check valve may need replacing, we hear water run down it after the pump runs for 10 seconds, but pump doesn't cycle too frequently so it must not be too much water that returns. There is a very strange gurgling sound though that continues for around 30 minutes after the pump runs though, which is mysterious. The pump discharge point is super jenky and freezes up when it gets cold out, looking for a solution for that. The sump pit does not have a sealed cover and we would like to add one that prevents radon gas from escaping while allowing it to still work as a floor drain. Finally, we don't have a tile drain system, and wondering if we should and what that would cost. The sump liner is old corrugated metal and maybe eventually needs replacing, want to understand what kind of an effort that is. Thanks!

Project in Longmont
