If your basement has water intrusion, the worst thing you can do is simply paint over the problem with a coating like Drylok. While products like these claim to block moisture, they don’t address the root cause—and over time, water will find its way back in.
💧 What’s the Right Approach?
✔️ Identify the Source – Is water entering through foundation cracks? Poor drainage? Hydrostatic pressure? A true waterproofing professional will diagnose and solve the issue at its source.
✔️ Exterior vs. Interior Solutions – Sometimes, proper grading, drainage systems, or exterior waterproofing membranes are needed—not just a quick interior fix.
✔️ Sump Pumps & French Drains – In high water table areas, a sump pump with a proper drainage system can permanently control basement flooding.
✔️ Professional-Grade Sealants – Unlike DIY coatings, professional waterproofing uses vapor barriers, drainage mats, and sealants designed for long-term protection.
