Basement Waterproofing in Durham, NC

Review Logo 4.3 (36)

Durham's climate, with an average annual precipitation of over 45 inches, can lead to significant water intrusion in basements. The combination of clay-rich soil can cause moisture to accumulate, leading to mold, efflorescence, and musty odors. To combat these issues, Tar Heel Basement Systems offers effective basement waterproofing solutions. Our team will install a comprehensive interior drainage system that directs water to a sump pump, ensuring your basement remains dry. Additionally, we use wall vapor barriers and energy-efficient dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture and improve air quality.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Durham

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
