We love the opportunity to correct our client’s leaky and wet basements. Each basement has its own challenges when it comes to keeping it dry. There are two main approaches to basement waterproofing: interior and exterior waterproofing systems.
Together with the home owner, Tedesco Basement Waterproofing will determine the waterproofing system that best fits your basement’s waterproofing needs while minimizing the impact on the daily schedule of the home. All of our waterproofing projects are planned and executed with superior craftsmanship and the appropriate materials to keep your home dry for years to come.
If you have intricate landscaping or other obstructions around the perimeter of your home, an interior waterproofing system may be the best solution to waterproof your basement. Tedesco Basement Waterproofing's interior drainage system can be more cost effective and faster to install than our exterior system. However, interior waterproofing does not diminish the effectiveness of the water management, and is considered 100% as effective when compared to an exterior system.
Interior waterproofing involves excavating the perimeter of the inside of your basement to the footer, removing dated drain tiles, and installing a drainage system under the floor along the walls to optimize water management. Below are some of the services you can expect when using Tedesco Basement Waterproofing to waterproof the interior of your basement.
Exterior Waterproofing requires excavating the perimeter of your home down to the footer, sealing the exterior of your basement foundation, and installing a drainage system to optimize water management. This process may entail digging up bushes and obstacles around your home. Tedesco Basement Waterproofing will review the excavation plan with you prior to installation and ensure you are fully comfortable with the entire procedure.
Our objective with any new exterior waterproofing system is to efficiently provide comprehensive and effective water management while doing our best to limit disturbance to your family's home life. One way we limit disturbance is by manually excavating the perimeter of your home without the use of noisy heavy machinery. In fact, we are able to hand-dig 100% of our exterior systems. The services described below are all part of our exterior waterproofing systems.
When waterproofing a basement and installing interior and/or exterior drainage systems, a sump pump may be necessary to ensure the water is managed effectively. A sump pump is a submersible water pump installed in a sump pit and sits on the water table. The sump pump evacuates water which collects in the sump pit as a result of the waterproofing system. Depending on local ordinances, the water is evacuated through your sewer system or to the exterior of your home.
Tedesco Basement Waterproofing installs and replaces primary & backup sump pumps, as well as battery backup systems. We recommend and install premium Zoeller sump pumps because they offer powerful and high quality pumps that deliver years of service and durability. Zoeller pumps are designed, machined, and assembled in the U.S.A. so you can count on their performance and reliability.
