Water infiltration is one of the most common issues that homeowners face in their basements. Water can enter your basement through the walls, floors, or foundation. Over time, water damage can weaken the foundation, causing cracks and structural damage. It can also lead to mold growth, which can cause health problems such as respiratory issues, headaches, and allergies.

At Shield Waterproofing & Masonry, we offer a range of waterproofing solutions that are tailored to your basement’s specific needs. Our waterproofing solutions include interior and exterior waterproofing, crack injection, and sump pump installation. Our team of experts will conduct a thorough assessment of your basement and recommend the best solution for your specific situation.

Interior Waterproofing
Interior waterproofing involves installing drainage systems and sump pumps to collect and remove water from your basement. This method is effective in preventing water damage caused by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when water accumulates in the soil around your basement, causing pressure that can damage your foundation.

Crack Injection
Crack injection involves injecting epoxy or polyurethane resins into cracks in your basement walls or floors to prevent water infiltration. This method is effective in sealing cracks and preventing water from entering your basement.

Sump Pump Installation
A sump pump is a device that collects water from your basement and pumps it out to a drainage system or dry well. Sump pump installation is an effective solution for preventing water damage caused by heavy rainfall or flooding. Our team of experts will install a sump pump that is specifically designed for your basement’s needs.

Exterior Waterproofing
Exterior waterproofing involves excavating the foundation and installing a waterproof membrane to prevent water from entering your basement. This method is ideal for preventing water infiltration caused by surface water or high water tables. Exterior waterproofing is a long-term solution that provides added protection to your basement.

Structural Repairs
Structural issues such as cracks and bowing walls can compromise the integrity of your entire structure. These issues are usually caused by the pressure of the soil around your foundation or the foundation settling. It is crucial to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of your home.

At Shield Waterproofing & Masonry, we offer a range of structural repair services that address any issues affecting the integrity of your basement. Our structural repair services include crack repair, foundation underpinning, and wall stabilization.
