The S&H Difference

At S&H Waterproofing, we design custom exterior and interior systems to protect your property. If possible, we believe in addressing your water issues from the outside—keeping water out rather than dealing with intrusion from the inside. This proactive approach saves you from costly repairs and preserves your home’s structural integrity.

Symptoms of Moisture Intrusion

Be alert for these signs that your property may need waterproofing:

  • Water Intrusion: Noticeable leaks or pooling in basements and crawl spaces indicate that water bypasses your defenses.
  • Discoloration & Staining: Faded or stained foundation walls reveal moisture seeping through and affecting the finish.
  • Structural Damage: Cracks, mud streaks, and weakening walls are early indicators of deterioration that can compromise your property’s stability.
  • Efflorescence: White, powdery deposits on walls signal that water is drawing salts through the block, a sign of persistent moisture issues.
  • Mold & Odors: Persistent musty smells and visible mold mean that moisture is creating unhealthy indoor conditions.
  • Pest Infestations: An uptick in pests, especially termites drawn to moist wood, can mean your home is an inviting target for destructive invaders.

Our Waterproofing Solutions

Exterior Waterproofing

We start by power washing your foundation to assess its condition. Then, we apply a rubberized asphalt emulsion membrane to block moisture and install the DrainMax Strip Drain, a high-flow, gravel-less system that sits atop the footer. This allows backfilling with dirt instead of costly stone. Finally, we complete the job with backfill, grading, and your choice of grass or sod.

Interior Waterproofing

For basements, we remove perimeter concrete to install a drain board and vapor barrier that directs water into a sub-slab drainage system featuring a 4-inch socked pipe, gravel, and geotextile fabric (ADS)—complemented by a sump pump or gravity system. In crawl spaces, we use an open French drain system with sump pump or opt for a gravity drain to minimize mechanical reliance.
