Basement Waterproofing in the Kansas City Metro
Overview
Stopping Water Before It Is a Problem
Basement water intrusion usually comes down to hydrostatic pressure pushing groundwater against your foundation walls, often made worse by poor grading, clogged gutters, or a high water table after heavy rain.
Exterior waterproofing addresses the source directly: excavating along the foundation, applying a waterproof membrane, and installing a drain board system that channels water down to a drain tile before it ever reaches the wall.
Interior systems, including drain tile and sump pumps, are often the right call when exterior access is limited. We will walk your basement with you and recommend the system that fits how water is actually entering.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches the wall by treating the outside of the foundation. Interior systems manage water after it enters, routing it to a drain and sump pump.
Do I need a sump pump?
If your basement has any history of water intrusion or you are installing an interior drainage system, a sump pump is usually part of the solution. We will confirm whether one is needed during your inspection.
How long does waterproofing take?
Interior drain tile systems are often completed in one to two days. Exterior excavation work can take longer depending on the length of wall being treated.
Great communication throughout the whole project. They showed up when they said they would and the waterproofing system they installed has kept our walkout basement bone dry.
