You stop worrying every time rain’s in the forecast. No more running downstairs with towels. No more musty smell that hits you when you open the basement door. No more wondering if this is the storm that ruins your finished space or destroys what you’re storing down there.
Your basement becomes usable space again. You can finish it, store things without fear, or just stop thinking about it entirely. The air smells normal. Your sump pump works when it’s supposed to. And when you eventually sell, that lifetime transferable warranty goes with the house—which matters to buyers.
Most importantly, you’re not dealing with mold forming within 24 to 48 hours after water gets in. You’re not facing respiratory problems or the $4,000+ cleanup bill that comes with just one inch of standing water. You handled it before it became a health issue or a structural nightmare.
We’re a family-run waterproofing contractor serving Westtown, PA and Chester County for over 15 years. We’re not the biggest operation, and we’re not trying to be. You get the experience of a company that’s seen every basement problem this area throws at us, without the runaround or price inflation that comes with the national chains.
We know Westtown’s soil conditions, the water table issues around here, and what happens when March and April dump 4+ inches of rain in a weekend. We’ve worked in developments off Route 926, older homes near Oakbourne Mansion, and everything in between. Our crews show up when they say they will, the work gets done without tearing your house apart, and we stand behind it with a lifetime warranty that’s actually transferable.
You’re not a number here. We’re local, we’re accountable, and we’ve built our reputation by doing what we say we’re going to do.
First, we come out and actually look at your basement. Not a salesperson—someone who knows what they’re looking at. We’ll inspect your foundation walls, check for cracks, see where water’s getting in, and figure out if it’s a drainage issue, hydrostatic pressure, or something else. You get a free estimate on the spot, in writing, with no pressure to sign anything.
If you move forward, we schedule the work around your life. Most jobs take 1-2 days depending on the system. We typically install our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System—it’s what structural engineers around here recommend because it actually works long-term, unlike the old French drains that fail after a few years. We’re also installing sump pumps, sealing foundation cracks, and handling exterior waterproofing if that’s what your situation needs.
You can stay in your house while we work. We’re not loud, we’re not messy, and we clean up when we’re done. Once it’s finished, we walk you through what we did and what to expect. Then we wait for the next big rain—and you’ll see the difference immediately.

Every job starts with a full inspection and written estimate. From there, it depends on what your basement needs—but here’s what we handle: interior waterproofing with our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System, sump pump installation or replacement, foundation crack repair using modern methods that actually seal the problem, exterior waterproofing and membrane application, and crawl space waterproofing if that’s where your moisture issue is coming from.
Westtown sits in an area where spring storms and summer downpours can dump serious rain in a short window. The soil around here doesn’t drain fast, and older homes especially weren’t built with the kind of waterproofing systems we install today. That’s why so many basements in this area leak—it’s not your fault, it’s just how things were done 30+ years ago.
We’re fixing that with systems designed to last as long as your house does. And everything we install is backed by our lifetime transferable warranty. If something goes wrong, we come back. If you sell, the warranty goes with the house. That’s it.
Most basement waterproofing projects in Westtown run between $3,500 and $7,000, depending on the size of your basement, how severe the water problem is, and what system you need. A straightforward interior drainage system with a sump pump is going to cost less than a full exterior waterproofing job with foundation repair.
We give you a written estimate after we inspect your basement—no ballpark guesses over the phone. You’ll know exactly what the job costs before we start, and there are no surprise charges when we’re done. We’re not the cheapest option in Chester County, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for a system that lasts decades, a lifetime warranty, and a crew that’s been doing this for 15+ years.
Cheap waterproofing fails. Then you’re paying twice—once for the bad job, and again to fix it the right way. We’d rather you pay once and be done with it.
Most residential waterproofing jobs take 1-2 days from start to finish. If we’re installing an interior drainage system and sump pump, that’s typically a one-day job. Exterior waterproofing or more complex foundation work might take two days, sometimes three if we’re dealing with multiple issues or a larger home.
You don’t have to leave while we work. The process isn’t loud or invasive—you can go about your day, and we’ll stay out of your way. We clean up when we’re done, and you’ll have a dry basement by the time we leave.
The timeline also depends on scheduling. We’ll give you a realistic start date when you book, and we show up when we say we will. No disappearing for days or dragging the job out longer than it needs to be.
Yes—if you eliminate the moisture, you eliminate the conditions mold needs to grow. Mold starts forming within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, and nearly half of homes in this region show visible mold or that musty smell that means it’s there. Once your basement stays dry, mold can’t take hold.
That said, if you already have mold growth, waterproofing alone won’t remove what’s already there. You’ll need to address the existing mold separately—either on your own or with a remediation company—before or after we waterproof. But once we stop the water from getting in, you won’t have to deal with it coming back.
This matters for more than just the smell. Mold causes respiratory problems, triggers asthma and allergies, and damages whatever it grows on. The longer it sits, the worse it gets. Waterproofing your basement is the permanent fix that keeps your family safe and your home healthy.
Interior waterproofing manages water after it’s already trying to get into your basement. We install a drainage system below your basement floor that captures water and directs it to a sump pump, which then pumps it out and away from your foundation. It’s less invasive, faster to install, and works extremely well for most homes in Westtown. Our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System is an interior method, and it’s what structural engineers recommend because it handles hydrostatic pressure—the force of water pushing against your foundation from below.
Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches your foundation walls. We excavate around the outside of your home, apply a waterproof membrane to the foundation, install drainage, and backfill. It’s more expensive and takes longer, but it’s necessary if your foundation walls are severely cracked or if water’s coming in from multiple directions.
Most homes only need interior waterproofing. We’ll tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your situation during the inspection—we’re not upselling you on exterior work if interior will solve the problem.
Yes. Every waterproofing system we install comes with a lifetime transferable warranty. That means if something fails or water gets in after we’ve finished the job, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. And if you sell your home, the warranty transfers to the new owner—which is a selling point buyers actually care about.
Most waterproofing systems are designed to last for decades without maintenance. Our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System, sump pumps, and foundation sealing work is built to outlast cheaper methods like outdated French drains that clog and fail within a few years. We use proven materials and installation techniques because we don’t want to come back to redo work.
The warranty isn’t a gimmick. It’s in writing, and we’ve been honoring it since 2007. If there’s ever an issue, you call us, and we handle it. That’s the deal.
Absolutely. Once your basement is waterproofed and staying dry, you can finish it however you want—drywall, flooring, living space, home gym, whatever. A lot of homeowners in Westtown call us specifically because they want to finish their basement but can’t until the water problem is solved.
We’d recommend waiting through at least one heavy rain after the waterproofing is done, just to confirm everything’s working as it should. Once you see that your basement stays dry during a storm, you’re good to move forward with finishing it. Our systems are designed to be permanent, so you’re not going to have issues down the road.
If you’re planning to finish the space, let us know during the estimate. We can make sure our drainage system and sump pump are positioned in a way that works with your layout. The goal is to give you a basement you can actually use—not one you’re afraid to put anything in.
