If you’ve ever dealt with a musty basement or noticed standing water in your crawlspace, you know just how frustrating moisture issues can be. The good news? With the right waterproofing, you can stop the water—and the stress—for good.
At Better Basements and Waterproofing, we specialize in basement and crawlspace waterproofing for Oregon homeowners. We help protect homes from water damage, mold, and structural problems caused by moisture. And we make the process simple and clear, from start to finish.
Why Waterproofing Is So Important
Water in your basement or crawlspace isn’t just annoying—it can lead to:
- Mold and mildew
- Wood rot and structural damage
- Poor indoor air quality
- Higher energy bills
- Pest infestations
Oregon’s rainy climate makes waterproofing even more important. Without protection, water will find its way in. But with the right systems in place, your home stays dry, safe, and healthy.
What Basement and Crawlspace Waterproofing Includes
At Better Basements, we offer custom solutions based on your home’s layout, condition, and moisture problems. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fixes—because every home is different.
Some of our most popular waterproofing services include:
- Interior and exterior drainage systems
- Sump pump installation and upgrades
- Crawlspace encapsulation and vapor barriers
- Foundation crack repair
- Dehumidifiers for long-term moisture control
Whether your basement floods during heavy rain or your crawlspace smells damp year-round, we’ll figure out what’s going on—and stop the water at the source.
How to Know If You Need Waterproofing
Not sure if it’s time to call in the pros? Here are some signs your basement or crawlspace needs help:
- Musty smells or mold
- Visible moisture or puddles
- White chalky residue (efflorescence) on basement walls
- High humidity inside your home
- Sagging insulation or wood rot in the crawl space (similar to this home)
If you’re seeing any of these signs, don’t wait. Moisture problems usually get worse over time—and more expensive to fix.
