Proudly serving homeowners throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.
How do I know if my basement needs waterproofing?
Signs include water seepage, damp or musty odors, visible wall or floor cracks, efflorescence (white powder), mold growth, or peeling paint. Even minor moisture issues can lead to bigger structural problems over time.
📞 If you notice any of these signs, call Down Under Waterproofing for a free inspection.
What causes water to come into my basement?
Water intrusion is commonly caused by poor exterior drainage, hydrostatic pressure, foundation cracks, or aging waterproofing systems. Heavy rain can make existing issues worse.
📞 Call Down Under Waterproofing to identify the source of the problem and discuss the right solution.
Do I need interior or exterior basement waterproofing?
That depends on where the water is entering and the condition of your foundation. Some homes benefit from interior drainage systems, while others require exterior waterproofing or wall repair.
📞 The best way to know is to call Down Under Waterproofing for a free, no-obligation inspection.
Are cracks in basement walls serious?
They can be. Cracks may indicate foundation movement, water pressure, or soil settlement. If left untreated, cracks can expand and lead to bowing walls or structural damage.
📞 Call Down Under Waterproofing to have wall cracks professionally evaluated.
What causes basement walls to bow or lean inward?
Bowing walls are typically caused by hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pressing against the foundation. This is a serious issue that should be addressed as early as possible.
📞 If your walls are bowing, call Down Under Waterproofing right away to prevent further damage.
Can bowed or cracked walls be repaired without replacement?
In many cases, yes. Solutions such as wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, or reinforcement systems can stabilize walls without full replacement.
📞 Call Down Under Waterproofing to learn which repair option is best for your home.
