Professional Foundation Waterproofing & Basement Sealing in Rome, GA
If your basement or crawl space stays damp no matter what you try, the soil around Rome is probably working against you. It holds onto water instead of letting it drain away, and that steady pressure wears on a foundation year after year. S&H Waterproofing offers custom foundation waterproofing, basement sealing, and vapor barrier installation in Rome, built to stop that water outside your home instead of fighting it once it's already in. It's a smarter way to protect your foundation, and it saves you money in the long run.

Symptoms of Moisture Intrusion
Take note if any of these show up at your Rome property:
- Water Intrusion: Leaks or pooling water in a basement or crawl space mean your foundation's current defenses have already failed.
- Discoloration & Staining: Faded paint or visible water stains on foundation walls point to moisture working through from outside.
- Structural Damage: Cracks that keep spreading, streaks of mud, or walls that feel unstable are early warnings of deterioration.
- Efflorescence: A white, chalky deposit on block or concrete forms when water draws salts through the material, a sign of ongoing moisture.
- Mold & Odors: Visible mold paired with a musty smell signals indoor air quality has already been compromised.
- Pest Infestations: A jump in pest activity, especially termites seeking out damp wood, often means moisture has made your home an easier target.
Our Foundation Waterproofing Solutions for Rome
Exterior Waterproofing
Work begins with power washing the foundation so our Rome-based waterproofing team can evaluate its condition firsthand. From there, a rubberized asphalt emulsion membrane seals out moisture, and the DrainMax Strip Drain goes in at the footer, a gravel-less, high-flow system that allows backfilling with soil instead of stone. The project wraps up with backfill, grading, and grass or sod matched to the rest of your Rome yard.
Interior Waterproofing
Interior work involves removing a section of perimeter concrete to install a drain board and vapor barrier, directing water into a sub-slab system made of 4-inch socked pipe, gravel, and geotextile fabric (ADS), with a sump pump or gravity system managing final drainage based on your property's slope. In a crawl space, we install an open French drain alongside a sump pump, or a gravity drain where the layout supports it.
