Professional Foundation Waterproofing & Basement Sealing in Oxford, AL
A lot of older homes in Oxford were built before anyone thought much about crawl space vents, drainage, or the clay-heavy Piedmont soil sitting underneath them. That soil holds water instead of draining it away, and over years it wears down a foundation from the outside in. S&H Waterproofing offers foundation waterproofing, basement sealing, and vapor barrier installation to Oxford homeowners, catching that moisture before it ever becomes a repair bill. The earlier it gets handled, the less it costs you.

Symptoms of Moisture Intrusion
Here is what to look for if your Oxford home might already be affected:
- Water Intrusion: Pooling water or a persistent leak in your basement means moisture has already broken through.
- Discoloration & Staining: Foundation walls that look faded or streaked with water marks show moisture seeping through the surface.
- Structural Damage: Spreading cracks, mud streaks, or walls losing their rigidity point toward deterioration that only gets worse with time.
- Efflorescence: A chalky white residue on block or concrete forms as water carries salts through the material, a sign moisture is still moving.
- Mold & Odors: A musty smell combined with visible mold growth means indoor air quality has already taken a hit.
- Pest Infestations: More termites or other pests around your home often trace back to damp wood they are drawn to.
Our Waterproofing Solutions
Exterior Waterproofing
Our process starts by power washing the foundation so our team can properly assess it. A rubberized asphalt emulsion membrane goes on next to seal out moisture, followed by installation of the DrainMax Strip Drain, a gravel-less, high-flow system at the footer that lets us backfill with soil rather than expensive stone. We finish by backfilling, grading the yard, and laying grass or sod to match your Oxford property.
Interior Waterproofing
For basement foundation waterproofing, our Oxford crew removes a section of perimeter concrete to install a drain board and vapor barrier, channeling water into a sub-slab drainage system built with 4-inch socked pipe, gravel, and geotextile fabric (ADS). A sump pump or gravity system handles the final step depending on your home's grade. Crawl spaces receive an open French drain paired with a sump pump, or a gravity-fed setup where conditions permit.
