Basement & Crawl Space Glossary

Basement Waterproofing

Basement Waterproofing defined

The term “basement waterproofing” refers to methods for controlling and preventing water intrusion as well as channeling water out of the basement when it does enter. The goal is to minimize water damage to structural elements, fixtures, and furnishings. A basement waterproofing system can include drainage channels, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers, as well as short-term remedies such as waterproof paint. Basements are frequently wet or damp, due to a number of conditions, including hydrostatic pressure, construction errors, a high-water table, challenging weather patterns (melting ice, severe rainfall), as well as plumbing leaks.
