Waterproofing & Drainage Solutions in Piedmont

At S&H Waterproofing, we deliver exceptional waterproofing and drainage systems to the Piedmont, AL area, custom-built to protect your crawl space or basement from water damage. Our expert team handles exterior and interior systems with advanced methods and quality products from GMX Waterproofing to keep your home or business dry and secure.

Exterior Waterproofing

We begin by excavating down to the footer and power washing the foundation to complete a condition check. Next, we apply a durable, spray-applied asphalt emulsion membrane—a resilient, rubberized barrier that blocks moisture effectively.

DrainMax^® R-74/R-76/R-78 Sheet Drain

Constructed with a moderate strength core and a nonwoven filter fabric on one side, DrainMax Sheet Drain products provide a continuous channel for water flow and work with DrainMax Strip Drains to provide a complete drainage system for below grade water management.

Lastly, we install the innovative DrainMax Strip Drain across the Piedmont region, a gravel-less drainage system that replaces traditional perforated pipe and stone drainage. DrainMax is situated adjacent to the footer, for higher flow rates and simpler installation, lowering costs by allowing S&H to backfill with dirt instead of expensive stone.

This versatile system works independently or in combination with other products, depending on your project needs. We finalize the process with proper backfill, final grading, and our installation of grass or sod.

Interior Basement Drainage System

For basement-protecting drainage systems in Piedmont and Northern Alabama, we start by removing perimeter concrete to install a drain board and vapor barrier along the walls, directing water into the drainage system below the slab. A drain is placed near the footer using a 4-inch socked pipe with gravel and geotextile fabric (ADS) for efficient water flow. Lastly, we install a sump pump or gravity system to discharge the collective water to the foundation exterior.

Interior Crawl Space Drainage System

We offer two effective drainage systems for crawl spaces in the Piedmont, AL area. One method involves digging a trench around the interior perimeter and installing a drain adjacent to the footer using the same 4-inch socked pipe, gravel, and geotextile fabric system, complete with a sump pump or gravity system to discharge water to the foundation exterior.
