RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS
Basement water intrusion can appear as an obvious leak or as recurring dampness. Before choosing a repair, it is important to understand where the water enters and what may be contributing to it.
Tell us when the problem happens, where you first notice it and whether conditions change after rain. These observations help guide a closer assessment of your basement, foundation and drainage.
These signs can have different causes. An inspection helps establish which waterproofing or water-management approach is appropriate.
INTERIOR & EXTERIOR SOLUTIONS
The right solution depends on how water reaches your basement, the condition of the foundation and the layout of the property. A project may combine repairs, waterproofing and drainage improvements.
Exterior work begins by excavating where required to expose the foundation wall. The surface is prepared, and cracks or damaged areas are addressed where necessary before waterproofing membranes or coatings are applied.
Drainage protection and water-management details are considered as part of the system. The excavation is backfilled after the specified foundation waterproofing and drainage work has been completed.
Interior waterproofing focuses on managing water that enters through foundation walls or around the basement perimeter. Depending on the conditions, the approach may include perimeter water collection, drainage channels and a sump system.
Interior access, the basement layout and the route for collected water all help determine the scope of work.
French drains and perimeter drainage systems are designed to collect water and guide it toward an appropriate discharge point or sump system.
The location and design depend on the site. A drainage system must be considered together with the source of the water and the way it will be discharged.
A sump pump moves collected water from a sump basin to a suitable discharge location. Installation or replacement may form part of a basement water-management system.
We discuss the existing drainage arrangement, pump condition and installation needs when assessing your project.
Cracks associated with water intrusion should be assessed in the context of the foundation’s condition and the surrounding drainage. The visible crack, its location and any observed changes help inform an appropriate repair.
Waterproofing work may include crack repairs where needed. Explore Stonebridge’s Foundation Repair service →
Water collecting near the house can contribute to basement and foundation moisture problems. Ground levels, runoff routes and existing drainage can all affect how water moves around the property.
Addressing contributing drainage issues may be part of a broader plan, alongside exterior waterproofing or interior water management.
STONEBRIDGE PROJECT WORK
This project shows an exterior foundation waterproofing system being installed after the foundation wall was exposed. Exterior waterproofing allows the foundation to be accessed directly so vulnerable areas can be addressed and protective waterproofing and drainage materials can be installed before the excavation is backfilled.
Discuss your waterproofing project →CHOOSING AN APPROACH
There is no single waterproofing solution appropriate for every property. The source of the water, foundation condition, drainage and property layout all matter.
Interior systems can help manage water entering the basement and direct it toward drainage and sump systems. They can be considered where collecting and controlling water inside is part of the recommended approach.
What we consider: water entry points, basement access, interior finishes and the path to a suitable discharge.
Exterior waterproofing addresses the foundation from outside and may be appropriate where direct access to the exterior foundation is required. It allows the exposed wall to be prepared, repaired where needed and protected.
What we consider: exterior access, excavation requirements, foundation condition, landscaping and drainage.
Neither approach is always superior. We explain the recommendation for your property so you can understand the proposed work before deciding.

The appropriate approach depends on the source of the water, foundation condition, drainage and property layout. Interior systems manage entering water, while exterior waterproofing provides access to protect the foundation from outside. Some projects may involve more than one approach.
A French drain is a drainage arrangement that collects water and directs it toward an appropriate discharge or sump system. Its design and location should be suited to the property and the water-management needs.
A sump pump may be appropriate when collected water needs to be moved from a basement sump basin to a suitable discharge. The need for a pump is considered alongside the drainage design and conditions at the property.
Foundation cracks can provide a path for water. The crack and the surrounding conditions should be assessed to determine the repair and whether drainage or other waterproofing work is also needed. Learn about Foundation Repair.
The schedule depends on the scope, access, foundation condition, excavation requirements and selected system. We discuss the expected project arrangements after assessing the work, rather than giving one timeline for every basement.
Older foundations can be assessed for waterproofing and water-management work. The construction, condition and any existing repairs affect which methods are appropriate. We discuss the options for the specific foundation.
Warranty availability and coverage depend on the specific project. Ask about the applicable warranty when discussing your estimate. Terms and conditions apply.
