What basement waterproofing can address
Waterproofing may involve interior drainage, sump pumps, crack treatment, exterior excavation and membranes, or combinations of those methods. The correct approach depends on the source and path of the water.
Interior or exterior?
Interior waterproofing is often designed to manage water that reaches the foundation and route it safely to drainage and pumping systems. Exterior waterproofing addresses water from the outside through excavation, drainage, membranes, or related measures. Read our interior vs. exterior comparison.
Related systems
A French drain or interior perimeter drain can collect water near the foundation edge, while a sump pump moves collected water away. If seepage is associated with a visible crack, see foundation crack repair.
