Basement Wall Leak Repair in Lexington, KY

Water coming through one identifiable place, fixed at that place.

Finding the actual entry point

Water travels before it appears, so the wet patch on your floor is not necessarily below the hole. Tracing it back is most of the work, and it is the part a quick quote skips.

Repair or system

If the inspection shows a single point of entry, we repair that point. If it shows water arriving along the whole wall, a patch will move the problem rather than solve it, and we will say so up front rather than take the easy money.

The work

Before and after

Before
After

Same wall, same corner. The framing came off, the wall was treated and a barrier run over it, and a new curb poured at the floor to take what still comes through the block.

Common questions

What are the signs my basement or foundation needs waterproofing?

White chalky residue on block, a musty smell that never clears, cracks that keep growing, rust at the base of appliances, damp patches that darken a day or two after rain, and humidity you can feel. Any sign of water damage or mold is worth an inspection before it becomes structural.

How long does a typical waterproofing project take?

Anywhere from three days to a week, depending on the scope of work and site conditions. You will get a specific timeline with your written scope rather than a guess over the phone.

Do you offer warranties for your waterproofing services?

Yes. Every system we install carries a lifetime labor warranty.

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing, and which do I need?

Interior work accepts that water is going to reach the wall, and gives it somewhere to go: a drain at the footing that carries it to a pump instead of onto your floor. Exterior work digs down along the outside of the wall and stops the water before it ever gets there. Interior costs less and is far less disruptive, and it is what most Lexington houses get. Exterior is the answer when the wall itself is the problem. Which one you need comes out of the inspection, not out of a phone call.

Water where it shouldn't be?

Call, or text a photo of the wall and we will tell you what we are looking at.
