If you’ve ever stepped into your basement and noticed a damp smell, water stains, or worse—standing water—you’re not alone. Basements are one of the most common places for moisture to sneak in, especially here in Oregon.
At Better Basements and Waterproofing, we help homeowners tackle these problems head-on. Whether you’re dealing with constant water leaks or just want to prevent future damage, our basement and waterproofing services are designed to keep your home dry, safe, and worry-free.
Why Basement Waterproofing Matters
Your basement is part of your home’s foundation—and when water gets in, it can lead to serious issues like:
- Mold and mildew
- Wood rot and foundation cracks
- Musty smells and poor air quality
- Damaged flooring or stored items
- Increased risk of pests
Oregon’s rainy climate makes basements especially vulnerable. Waterproofing isn’t just a fix—it’s prevention. It helps you avoid bigger (and more expensive) repairs down the line.
What Basement and Waterproofing Services Include
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fixes. Every home is different, so we start with a detailed inspection to find the real cause of the moisture.
Here are some of the services we offer at Better Basements:
- Interior and exterior drainage systems
- Sump pump installation and backup systems
- Foundation crack repairs
- Waterproof coatings and sealants
- Vapor barriers and crawl space encapsulation
- Dehumidifiers for humidity control
We’ll help you understand exactly what’s going on and what your options are—no pushy sales tactics, just real solutions that last.
How to Know If You Need Basement Waterproofing
You don’t have to see a flood to know something’s wrong. Here are a few signs your basement might need help:
- That telltale musty smell
