Basement Waterproofing

If you are experiencing water in your basement, moisture on the walls or floors, cracks in your foundation, or a damp crawl space, S+H can help. Our Sitework Division has a very effective process for the waterproofing and damp-proofing of existing basement spaces, including those that have just been expanded or renovated. We can solve most water infiltration problems using our sealing system which crystallizes with the existing mortar or concrete, preventing the movement of moisture through walls and slabs. Please call 617.876.8286 to set up an appointment, we’ll be happy to come out and explore your options.

Our S+H Basement Damp-Proofing System can:

Create an impermeable barrier that prevents water migration in most cases
Consolidate loose foundations
Direct under-slab water into a perimeter drain and sump for removal by pump
Adjust downspouts and surface water away from foundation walls
Create usable space in the basement for recreation rooms, home offices, additional bedrooms, or other valuable uses
Increase the overall value of your home – a wise investment
