What Do Waterproofers Actually Do for Your Home?

When it comes to protecting your home, most people think of roofers, electricians, or plumbers. But here’s a group that doesn’t always get the spotlight they deserve: waterproofers. At Better Basements, we see ourselves as the first line of defense against leaks, the team that keeps water out and your basement safe, dry, and usable.

So, What Do Waterproofers Actually Do?

Waterproofers are like guardians of your home’s foundation. Our mission? Keep water where it belongs. That means they offer services like:

  • Sealing cracks and weak spots in your foundation. 
  • Installing drainage systems to move water away from your home. 
  • Adding vapor barriers and sump pumps to keep your basement dry year-round.

In short, waterproofers fight the never-ending battle against water, so you don’t have to.

Why Is Waterproofing So Important?

Water may seem harmless, but given enough time, it’s one of the most destructive forces out there. It can erode concrete, rot wood, and cause mold to grow faster than you can say “musty basement.” That’s why waterproofers exist because water will always look for a way in. And if it finds one, it won’t stop until the damage is done.

Signs You Might Need a Waterproofer

Not sure if it’s time to call in the pros? Keep an eye out for these red flags:

  • A damp, humid smell in your basement. 
  • Water stains or discoloration on walls. 
  • Cracks in the foundation or floors. 
  • Puddles or standing water after a storm.

If you’ve noticed any of these, your basement is practically waving a flag that says, “Help me!”
