Basement waterproofing is a crucial step in protecting your home from water damage, mold, and costly repairs. If you’re considering basement waterproofing, it’s important to understand the process, what to expect, and how it can benefit your home in the long run. Below is a breakdown of the steps involved in basement waterproofing and how A Better Choice, Inc. can help you achieve a dry, safe basement.

The Process of Basement Waterproofing

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Inspection

The first step in basement waterproofing is a thorough inspection of your basement. A professional from A Better Choice, Inc. will visit your home to assess the condition of your basement, check for signs of water damage, and determine the cause of water infiltration. This step is essential to identify the source of water problems, such as foundation cracks, poor drainage, or high water tables.

Step 2: Identifying the Water Source

During the inspection, your technician will evaluate potential water sources, such as:

  • Cracks in walls and floors

  • Leaky windows or doors

  • Poor grading or drainage around your home


    Once identified, a solution will be recommended to address these issues.

Once the plan is in place, the waterproofing work will begin. Depending on the severity of the issue, this process may involve:

  • Excavating around your home’s foundation (for exterior solutions)

  • Installing drainage systems inside or outside the basement

  • Sealing cracks and vulnerable areas in walls and floors


    Our team will work efficiently and ensure minimal disruption to your home during the process.
