Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying every time rain hits the forecast. Your basement stays dry during spring storms, summer downpours, and snowmelt season.
The air smells normal again. No more musty odor creeping upstairs. No more wondering if that dampness is turning into mold behind your walls.
Your finished basement becomes usable space again. You can store things down there without wrapping everything in plastic. You can let your kids play in the basement without second-guessing the air quality. Your heating and cooling costs drop because wet insulation isn’t killing your HVAC efficiency anymore.
And when you eventually sell, you’re not explaining away water stains or crossing your fingers that the inspector doesn’t find moisture. You hand over documentation of professional basement foundation waterproofing in Lower Gwynedd, PA with a transferable lifetime warranty.
Del Val Basement Waterproofing is a family-run basement waterproofing company serving Lower Gwynedd, PA and the surrounding Delaware Valley. We’re not the biggest name you’ll find, and we’re fine with that.
What matters is that we show up, diagnose the actual problem, and install systems that work for decades. Our crews know Montgomery County soil conditions, how Lower Gwynedd properties drain, and what happens when Pennsylvania gets 40-plus inches of rain in a year.
We back our basement waterproofing solutions with a lifetime transferable warranty. That’s not marketing language. That’s confidence in the work we do and the systems we install.
We start with an inspection of your basement. Not a sales pitch disguised as an inspection. An actual look at where water is coming in, why it’s coming in, and what’s causing the pressure against your foundation.
Most water problems in Lower Gwynedd, PA come from hydrostatic pressure. That’s the force of groundwater pushing against your foundation walls and floor. When that pressure builds up during heavy rain, water finds the path of least resistance—usually through cracks, joints, or porous concrete.
Our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System handles that pressure before it becomes a leak. We install a drainage system beneath your basement floor that intercepts water and redirects it to a sump pump. The pump pushes water out and away from your foundation. The system runs 24/7 during wet conditions, and you never see or hear it working.
For basement wall waterproofing in Lower Gwynedd, PA, we install drainage along the foundation perimeter and seal entry points. If your walls are bowing or cracking from pressure, we address that too.
The process is minimally invasive. You can stay in your house while we work. Most installations take a few days, depending on the size of your basement and the extent of the water issue.

You get a complete water management system designed for your specific property. That includes interior drainage, a commercial-grade sump pump with battery backup, and sealed access points where water has been entering.
Lower Gwynedd properties deal with clay-heavy soil that doesn’t drain well. When spring rains hit or snow melts, that water sits against your foundation with nowhere to go. Our systems are built for that exact scenario.
We also handle mold remediation if moisture has already caused growth. Waterproofing stops future water, but existing mold needs to be removed properly. We take care of both so you’re not dealing with health risks or air quality problems.
Every installation comes with our lifetime transferable warranty. If you sell your house, the warranty transfers to the new owner. That adds value to your property and gives buyers confidence that your basement won’t flood the first time it rains.
The system requires almost no maintenance. Sump pumps should be tested annually, which takes about five minutes. Beyond that, the drainage system works passively and doesn’t need attention.
Most homeowners spend between $3,000 and $10,000 depending on the size of the basement and the severity of the water problem. A straightforward interior drainage system with a sump pump installation falls on the lower end. Extensive foundation repair combined with waterproofing pushes costs higher.
The price depends on what’s actually wrong. If you have minor seepage through one wall, that’s a different scope than a basement that floods with two inches of water every spring. We give you an accurate quote after inspecting your property.
Financing options are available if you need them. The cost of waterproofing is a fraction of what you’ll pay for repeated water damage, mold remediation, or foundation repairs down the road.
Our systems are designed to last for the life of your home. The Sub Floor Pressure Relief System uses commercial-grade materials that don’t degrade or clog over time. Thousands of installations across the Delaware Valley are still working decades later with zero maintenance beyond occasional sump pump checks.
The drainage channels are built to handle high water volume without backing up. The sump pump is the only mechanical component, and those typically last 7-10 years before needing replacement. We use pumps that are easy to swap out when the time comes.
That’s why we offer a lifetime transferable warranty. We’re not guessing about longevity. We’ve seen these systems perform for 20, 30, 40 years without failure.
Yes, but only if you remove existing mold first. Waterproofing eliminates the moisture source that mold needs to grow. No moisture means no new mold growth. But if mold is already present, it needs to be professionally removed before waterproofing.
Mold grows in damp, dark environments. Basements in Lower Gwynedd, PA are perfect for it when water seeps in regularly. Even minor dampness is enough. Once you cut off the water supply with a proper waterproofing system, mold can’t establish itself.
We handle both the waterproofing and the mold remediation so you’re not coordinating between multiple contractors. You get a dry, clean basement in one project.
You can try, but most DIY attempts fail because they treat symptoms instead of causes. Painting a waterproof coating on your walls might stop minor dampness temporarily, but it doesn’t address hydrostatic pressure. When pressure builds up, water will find another way in.
Effective basement waterproofing in Lower Gwynedd, PA requires managing water before it reaches your foundation. That means installing drainage systems below your floor and around your foundation perimeter. It requires excavation, proper grading, sump pump installation, and sealing techniques that hold up under pressure.
The risk with DIY is that you spend money and time on a fix that doesn’t work, then you’re calling a professional anyway. And now the problem has gotten worse while you were experimenting.
Most installations take 2-4 days depending on the size of your basement and the complexity of the system. A standard interior drainage system with sump pump installation in an average-sized basement usually wraps up in two days.
Larger basements or projects that include foundation repair take longer. Exterior waterproofing that requires excavation around your foundation adds time as well.
You can stay in your house during the work. We contain dust and debris to the work area. The process is loud at times because we’re breaking concrete to install drainage, but it’s not disruptive enough that you need to leave.
Interior waterproofing manages water after it enters the foundation but before it floods your basement. We install drainage beneath your floor that intercepts water and routes it to a sump pump. This method is less invasive, more affordable, and highly effective for most water problems.
Exterior waterproofing involves excavating around your foundation, applying a waterproof membrane to the outside of your walls, and installing drainage at the footing level. It stops water before it touches your foundation. It’s more expensive and disruptive but necessary in cases of severe foundation damage or extreme water pressure.
For most homes in Lower Gwynedd, PA, interior waterproofing with a Sub Floor Pressure Relief System handles the problem completely. We recommend exterior work only when interior solutions won’t be enough.
