Custom Basement Waterproofing Solutions

Exterior Drainage

Effective exterior drainage is crucial for preventing water intrusion and foundation damage. We offer customized solutions, includingFrench drains, footing drains, yard grading, and gutter systems, to redirect water away from your home. By controlling surface and groundwater flow, our exterior drainage services help protect your basement from leaks and excess moisture.

Interior Drainage

Interior drainage solutions manage water that enters your basement, preventing flooding and excess humidity. We install advanced interior drain tile systems and sump pumps to collect and direct water safely away from your foundation. These systems work in conjunction with other waterproofing methods to keep basements dry and structurally sound year-round.

Exterior Waterproofing

Exterior foundation waterproofing provides a strong first line of defense against water infiltration. Our solutions include specialized drainage systems and waterproof coatings to shield foundation walls from moisture damage. By sealing cracks and applying protective barriers, we prevent hydrostatic pressure from forcing water into your basement, ensuring long-term protection against leaks.

Mold Solutions

Moisture issues can lead to mold and microbial growth, compromising indoor air quality and structural integrity. We identify and address mold concerns by resolving underlying moisture problems with waterproofing solutions. Our team helps keep basements dry by implementing targeted drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and vapor barriers to prevent future microbial growth.

Vapor Barriers

Vapor barriers help regulate basement humidity by preventing moisture from seeping through walls and floors. We install high-quality, heavy-duty barriers to create a protective seal against damp conditions. By integrating vapor barriers with interior drainage and dehumidification systems, we enhance air quality and reduce the risk of mold and foundation deterioration.

What Causes Basement Leaks & Moisture Problems?

A damp or leaky basement can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and poor indoor air quality. If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to consider basement waterproofing. Addressing these problems early can help prevent costly repairs and protect your home's foundation.

  • Water stains or standing water in your basement
  • Cracked or bowing basement walls
  • Peeling paint or wallpaper due to moisture damage

"USS is by far the best structural company around! We decided to hire them after we'd had another company out for the same quote. The first company gave us a lot of hot air and was very demeaning. Then Bobby and the USS guys came out! I can't say enough about how incredibly professional they were!"
Sherrie J.
"Very good experience! They were punctual, professional, and very good at what they did. They did a great job, cleaned up after they were finished, and they even sowed grass seed and spread straw over the areas damaged before they left."
Anthony H.
"I highly recommend this company to everyone. The team showed up on time and they were a pleasure to work with. I have never before seen a sense of teamwork and display of professionalism like I did on this project."
