Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying every time rain hits the forecast. Your basement becomes usable space again—not a liability you avoid or a storage area you can’t trust with anything valuable.
The musty smell disappears. You’re not hauling out wet boxes after every storm or wondering if mold is growing behind your walls. Your home value holds because buyers see a dry basement with a transferable lifetime warranty, not a red flag that kills the deal.
You get your weekends back. No more emergency cleanups, no more calls to restoration companies, no more replacing the same ruined belongings twice. Just a dry basement that works the way it should—quietly, consistently, without drama.
We’re a family-run waterproofing contractor serving Audubon and the surrounding Montgomery County area for over 15 years. We’re not a franchise or a national chain—we’re local, and we know exactly what Audubon basements deal with.
The clay soil here doesn’t drain. It holds water against your foundation and builds pressure with every rainfall. We’ve seen it in hundreds of homes across this area, and we’ve built our systems specifically to handle it.
You’re working with people who live in this community, not a sales team rotating through territories. We show up when we say we will, we explain what’s actually wrong, and we don’t upsell you on things you don’t need.
You call us or fill out the form. We schedule a free consultation at your home—no pressure, no gimmicks. We come out, inspect your basement, and figure out where the water’s coming from and why.
We explain what’s happening in plain language. You’ll understand whether it’s a grading issue, foundation cracks, hydrostatic pressure, or a combination. We walk you through the fix—what we’d install, how it works, and what it costs.
If you move forward, we schedule the work around your life. Most interior systems go in without tearing up your yard, and the process typically wraps in a day or two. You’re not displaced, and your routine stays mostly intact.
Once it’s done, we test the system and walk you through how it works. Then we back it with a lifetime transferable warranty. If you sell the house, the warranty goes with it—which buyers love.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a Sub Floor Pressure Relief System—the same setup recommended by structural engineers and installed in thousands of basements across the Delaware Valley. It’s designed to handle the hydrostatic pressure that builds up in Audubon’s clay soil.
That means a perimeter drainage system installed along the footer, a sump pump that actually keeps up with heavy rain, and a discharge line that moves water away from your foundation. If your basement needs it, we’ll also address foundation cracks, install vapor barriers, or encapsulate your crawl space.
We’re not patching symptoms. We’re solving the problem at the source so it doesn’t come back. And because Audubon sits in an area where 98% of basements will see water damage at some point, this isn’t optional maintenance—it’s protecting your biggest investment.
The warranty covers the system for as long as you own the home, and it transfers if you sell. That’s not standard in this industry, but it should be.
Most homeowners in Audubon and the surrounding Montgomery County area spend between $3,000 and $10,000 depending on the size of the basement and the severity of the water issue. A straightforward interior drainage system with a sump pump typically falls in the $5,000 to $7,000 range.
Exterior waterproofing costs more because it involves excavation, but it’s sometimes necessary if the foundation itself is compromised. We’ll never recommend exterior work unless it’s actually needed—interior systems solve the problem in most cases and cost significantly less.
During your free consultation, we’ll give you an exact price based on what your basement actually needs. No range, no “depends on what we find”—just a clear number so you can make a decision.
It’s the soil. Audubon sits on clay-heavy ground that doesn’t drain well, so water builds up around your foundation instead of filtering away. When it rains hard, that water has nowhere to go except against your basement walls, and eventually it finds a way in—through cracks, joints, or straight through porous concrete.
Hydrostatic pressure is the technical term, but it just means the water outside is pushing harder than your foundation can resist. Older homes in this area are especially vulnerable because construction standards were different 30, 40, 50 years ago.
A proper waterproofing system relieves that pressure before it becomes a problem. It intercepts the water at the footer level and redirects it to a sump pump, which pushes it away from your home. That’s how you stop the cycle.
A professionally installed system should last the life of your home. We design ours that way, and we back it with a lifetime warranty because we know it works.
The sump pump is the only component that might need replacing eventually—pumps are mechanical and they wear out. But even a quality sump pump will run for 7 to 10 years before you need to think about a replacement, and that’s a simple swap.
The drainage system itself—the perimeter channel, the stone, the discharge lines—doesn’t degrade. It’s built to handle water indefinitely. As long as it’s installed correctly and the system isn’t damaged by something unrelated (like a major foundation shift), it keeps working.
Yes, and that’s what we recommend in most cases. Interior waterproofing is less invasive, costs less, and solves the problem just as effectively as exterior work for the majority of basements.
We install a drainage system along the inside perimeter of your basement at the footer level. It collects water before it enters your living space and channels it to a sump pump. The pump then pushes the water out and away from your foundation.
Exterior waterproofing makes sense if your foundation walls are severely cracked or if there’s structural damage that needs to be addressed from the outside. But if the issue is water seeping in through normal pressure and minor cracks, interior systems handle it without tearing up your yard or costing twice as much.
Yes, as long as the smell is caused by moisture—which it almost always is. That musty odor comes from mold and mildew growing in damp conditions. Once you eliminate the moisture source, the smell goes away.
Waterproofing stops water from entering your basement, which drops the humidity and removes the environment mold needs to grow. If there’s already mold present, we also offer certified mold remediation to remove it and restore healthy air quality.
You’ll notice the difference within a few weeks of the system being installed. The air feels different, the smell fades, and your basement stops feeling like a damp cave. If you’ve been running dehumidifiers constantly, you’ll probably be able to cut back or stop altogether.
If water is getting in at all, the problem will get worse. Occasional seepage today becomes a flooded basement tomorrow—it’s just a matter of time and the right storm.
Every time water enters your basement, it’s doing damage. It’s weakening your foundation, feeding mold growth, and increasing hydrostatic pressure on your walls. Even small amounts of moisture create long-term problems that cost more to fix later than they would to prevent now.
The other issue is resale value. Buyers hire inspectors, and inspectors look for water damage. Even if your basement is dry the day they visit, signs of past water intrusion kill deals or force you to drop your price. A waterproofing system with a transferable warranty does the opposite—it’s a selling point.
