A damp basement can have serious consequences for your home and health.

Additionally, a damp basement can also lead to structural damage to your home, such as weakened foundations and rotted wood.
Waterproofing your basement can prevent these problems from occurring and protect the value of your home.

Interior waterproofing can be a quick solution for minor water damage as well as a countermeasure against basement flooding and hydrostatic pressure.
