Interior Basement Waterproofing in Western PA
Interior basement waterproofing addresses water that has already entered your basement by capturing it and directing it to a sump pump system for removal. This approach is the most common and cost-effective waterproofing method for homes in Western Pennsylvania, where clay soils and high water tables create constant hydrostatic pressure against foundations.
What We Provide
Signs You Need Interior
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact us for a free inspection.
Water Seeping at Floor-Wall Joint
The most common water entry point in basements is where the floor meets the wall (the cove joint). An interior French drain system captures this water before it spreads.
Hydrostatic Pressure Under Floor
Water bubbling up through floor cracks or the floor feeling damp indicates high water table pressure. An interior drainage system relieves this pressure.
Recurring Water After Rain
If every heavy rain sends water into your basement, an interior system provides reliable, year-round protection.
How Our Interior Process Works
Water Entry Assessment
We identify exactly where and how water enters your basement -cove joints, wall cracks, floor cracks, or a combination.
Drainage Channel Installation
We install a perimeter French drain system along the affected walls, channeling all water to the sump pit.
Sump Pump & Discharge
A professional-grade sump pump with battery backup is installed, with a discharge line routed safely away from your foundation.
Sealing & Finishing
We seal all cracks, install vapor barriers where needed, and restore the concrete floor for a clean, dry result.
Interior Questions Answered
Common questions about our services. Can't find your answer? Call us.
What is a French drain in a basement?
A basement French drain (also called a perimeter drain) is a channel cut into the floor along the base of your walls. It collects water entering at the floor-wall joint and through wall cracks, then channels it to a sump pit where a pump removes it from your basement.
Is interior waterproofing as good as exterior?
Both methods are effective but work differently. Interior waterproofing manages water that enters your basement. Exterior waterproofing prevents water from reaching your walls. For most homes in Western PA, interior waterproofing is the most practical and cost-effective solution. Some situations benefit from both.
