Water damage in basement

Proven crack repair for basements and foundations in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania & Delaware

DryMaster Basement Waterproofing is the region’s leading specialist for repairing cracks in basement walls and floors, or footers and foundation walls, from Southwestern NJ, to the suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware, and Philadelphia, PA.  There are many reasons cracks develop within your basement or foundation ranging from rising water tables to house settling, to earthquakes so minor that nobody feels them.  Yes – our region does experience minor tremors from time to time.  Regardless of the cause, cracks need to be repaired.  If not, they continue to expand, spreading moisture and allowing erosion to begin, potentially resulting in water damage, flooding, and mold growth. 

Furthermore, allowing cracks to grow unchecked can end up costing tens of thousands of dollars in major structural repairs!  Do not allow the problem to get this far!  DryMaster Basement Waterproofing has developed a proprietary repair method using advanced materials like carbon fiber and high-strength structural epoxy polymers that not only stop the crack dead in its tracks, but also permanently repair and seal it.  In over 30 years and thousands of repairs, we have never had to return to a customer’s home to re-repair a crack.  Best of all, most cracks can be repaired within one day!

If there’s a crack, Bud can fix it!

Doesn’t matter where the crack is – in your garage floor, your basement, your foundation floors and retaining walls – it must be stopped.  Call Bud Lauria at DryMaster Basement Waterproofing today!

Do I Need a French Drain?

The dimensions of a French drain ultimately depend on the site. These sloped trenches can be a couple of feet deep (known as shallow drains) or deeper (footing drains). They are typically about a foot wide and usually perform more optimally the higher property is on a slope. A quality team will be able to slope even the most challenging drain so it becomes an asset.

Few residential investments have the potential ROI of well-designed drainage. The sooner they are installed, the quicker they can help homeowners and businesses take more effective water management steps.
