BASEMENT WATERPROOFING

Basement waterproofing includes several factors. At Thompson Crowley we can identify the cause of the problem and offer you a waterproofing solution. We don't just bolt up screens and drains and call it a day. Why live with unwanted water in your home or business? 

Waterproofing foundations requires a knowledge of interior and exterior foundations. Water volume issues from grade, slop , ledge and downspouts. Stone foundations are built primarily with cement only above grade and on the interior wall joints below grade. Over time the below grade mortar washed out or dries and flakes due to the high water volume over the years. 

We repair exterior and interior foundations. Exterior foundation crack repair service with below grade foundation base repairs. Large voids below grade can easily be repaired and cut down the interior water pressure and essentially fix the leak. High amounts of  water pressure and the water must be redirected away from the foundation . Redirecting exterior water volume away from your stone or brick foundation can be accomplished with French drains, dry wells, grading and concrete aprons .    Interior repairs consist of stone pointing , brick, block or cement repairs.
