You stop checking the forecast every time rain’s in the forecast. You stop worrying about that musty smell or whether mold’s growing behind your walls. Your basement becomes usable space again—not a liability.
When your foundation’s protected and your drainage works the way it should, you’re not just avoiding expensive repairs down the road. You’re protecting your home’s value, your family’s health, and your own peace of mind. That’s what happens when a waterproofing company in Skippack, PA actually fixes the root cause instead of slapping a band-aid on symptoms.
The difference shows up during the next heavy rain. While your neighbors are running shop vacs and pulling up wet carpet, your basement stays bone dry. That’s the outcome that matters.
Del Val Basement Waterproofing is a family-run waterproofing contractor that’s been serving Skippack, PA and the surrounding Montgomery County area for over 15 years. We’re not a national franchise reading from a script—we’re locals who understand exactly what clay-heavy soil and seasonal flooding do to foundations around here.
We built this business to give homeowners real solutions at fair prices. That means identifying what’s actually causing water intrusion, not just selling you the most expensive fix. Every job comes with a lifetime transferable warranty because we stand behind our work long after we’ve left your property.
You’ll work with trained inspectors who know Montgomery County’s soil conditions, drainage patterns, and the specific challenges homes face in Skippack, PA. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it right the first time.
First, we come out and inspect your basement, foundation, and property drainage. We’re looking for the source—where water’s getting in, why it’s getting in, and what’s going to stop it permanently. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found and what needs to happen.
Then we walk you through your options. Interior waterproofing with drainage systems and sump pumps. Exterior waterproofing with membranes and proper grading. Foundation crack repair. Sometimes it’s one approach, sometimes it’s a combination. We’ll tell you what makes sense for your specific situation and your budget.
Once you approve the plan, our crew gets to work. Most jobs don’t require you to leave your home—we work efficiently and clean up completely when we’re done. You’re not dealing with weeks of disruption. And when we finish, you get documentation of the work and your lifetime warranty. Then you wait for the next rainstorm and watch your basement stay dry.

Interior waterproofing means we install drainage systems along your foundation walls that capture water before it pools on your floor. We connect those drains to a sump pump system that automatically removes water from your basement. We seal cracks and apply waterproof coatings where needed. This approach works well for most Skippack, PA homes and costs less than exterior work.
Exterior waterproofing is more involved but more thorough. We excavate around your foundation, apply waterproof membrane directly to your walls, install proper drainage tile, and regrade your soil to move water away from your home. This is the best approach for basement moisture problems that keep coming back despite interior fixes. It’s what we recommend when you’re dealing with high water tables or severe foundation issues common in Montgomery County’s clay soils.
We also handle foundation crack repair using epoxy or polyurethane injection, crawl space encapsulation, and mold remediation if water damage has already created growth. Every service addresses the specific problem your home faces—not a one-size-fits-all package that includes things you don’t need.
Most basement waterproofing projects in Skippack, PA run between $2,500 and $8,000 depending on your basement size, the severity of water intrusion, and whether you need interior or exterior work. A straightforward interior drainage system with sump pump installation typically costs less than full exterior excavation and membrane application.
The real question isn’t just upfront cost—it’s what you’re preventing. A single flooding event can cost $11,000 or more in water damage, ruined belongings, and mold remediation. Water damage drops your home’s resale value by 10-25% if left unaddressed. Spending a few thousand now saves you tens of thousands later.
We give you an exact quote after inspecting your property. No surprises, no upselling. Just a clear breakdown of what needs to happen and what it costs.
Montgomery County’s clay-heavy soil is your biggest enemy. Clay doesn’t drain well—it holds water against your foundation instead of letting it percolate away. When we get heavy rain or spring snowmelt, that water has nowhere to go except through cracks in your foundation or up through your basement floor.
Skippack sits near the Perkiomen Creek watershed, which means many neighborhoods deal with high water tables. Add in older homes that were built before modern drainage standards, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for wet basements. Gutters that dump water right next to your foundation make it worse.
We fix this by installing proper drainage systems that intercept water before it enters your home and redirect it away from your foundation. Sometimes that means interior drains and sump pumps. Sometimes it means regrading your yard and installing exterior drainage tile. Often it’s both.
When installed correctly, basement waterproofing lasts decades. Interior drainage systems and sump pumps can run 20-30 years with basic maintenance. Exterior waterproof membranes last even longer—often 50+ years—because they’re protected by soil and aren’t exposed to UV or weather.
That’s why we back our work with a lifetime transferable warranty. We’re not expecting callbacks in five years. The materials we use and the way we install them are designed to outlast your ownership of the home.
The key is working with a company that does it right the first time. Cheap fixes fail fast. Proper waterproofing—with the right materials, correct installation, and attention to your property’s specific drainage needs—becomes a permanent solution you stop thinking about.
Yes, and for most Skippack, PA homes, interior waterproofing solves the problem completely. We install drainage channels along the perimeter of your basement floor that catch water before it pools. Those drains feed into a sump pump that automatically removes water from your home. We seal cracks and apply waterproof coatings to your walls. It’s less expensive than exterior work and doesn’t require excavating your yard.
Interior waterproofing works best when you’re dealing with minor to moderate water intrusion—seepage through walls, dampness after heavy rain, or occasional puddles. It’s the right choice for most situations and the approach we recommend first.
Exterior waterproofing becomes necessary when you have severe foundation damage, constant water pressure from a high water table, or major structural cracks. If interior fixes haven’t worked or your foundation walls are bowing, exterior work addresses problems that can’t be fixed from inside. We’ll tell you honestly which approach your home needs.
Yes—because mold needs moisture to grow, and waterproofing eliminates the moisture. Once your basement stays consistently dry, mold can’t establish itself. You stop dealing with that musty smell, visible growth on walls, and the respiratory issues that come with mold exposure.
If you already have mold, waterproofing alone won’t remove it. You need mold remediation first to eliminate existing growth, then waterproofing to prevent it from coming back. We handle both. We’ll remove contaminated materials, treat affected areas, and then install the drainage and waterproofing systems that keep your basement dry permanently.
We treat the cause, not just the symptoms. Killing mold without fixing water intrusion means it grows back in weeks. Waterproofing without removing existing mold leaves you breathing spores. You need both done right.
You see water where it shouldn’t be—puddles on your basement floor, damp spots on walls, or water stains on concrete. You smell that musty, moldy odor even when everything looks dry. You notice white chalky deposits (efflorescence) on your foundation walls where water’s evaporating. Or you see cracks in your foundation that are getting wider.
Maybe you don’t have visible water yet, but your basement feels humid and clammy even with a dehumidifier running constantly. That’s moisture coming through your foundation. Left alone, it gets worse. Small cracks become big cracks. Dampness becomes flooding. Minor problems become expensive structural repairs.
If any of this sounds familiar, call us before the next heavy rain. We’ll inspect your property, tell you exactly what’s happening, and give you options for fixing it. The earlier you address water intrusion, the less it costs and the less damage you’re dealing with.
