Did you know that finding water in your basement is incredibly common for many Staten Island homeowners? Basement leaks can happen for various reasons and will often lead to flooding. This is why basement waterproofing is essential. No one wants to spend the holiday season mopping up their basement floor. If you've experienced moisture in your home, reach out to us for the best basement waterproofing Staten Island offers.

Many times, the climate in our basement causes leaks to occur. The temperature in your home's basement is warmer than the temperature outside. Your basement radiates heat that causes snow to melt. The heat that radiates can reach up to eight inches beyond the basement walls. All that heat will cause accumulated snow around the home to melt.

All that melted snow needs to go somewhere, and often it finds its way into your basement. Cracks in basement walls and floors will allow water to enter the home. Any issues with your home's foundation can lead to major moisture issues in your basement. This is why foundation repair is just as important as waterproofing. We provide the best foundation repair Staten Island has.

Once water has entered your basement, it can quickly accumulate if your drainage system is not working properly. Your home's sump pump is designed to gather water and direct it away from the home. When your sump pump is not working properly, it can lead to flooding. Damage to a sump pump can happen for many reasons, including congested or frozen pipes, power outages, or incorrect installation.
