Canton's low-lying streets flood during summer thunderstorms, sending water through cracked foundations. Our three-layer defense system combines exterior French drains, epoxy-injected wall seals, and interior vapor barriers.
We prioritize solutions that won't trap humidity against brick, preventing efflorescence and spalling. For finished basements, we install subfloor drainage channels beneath new flooring. All work includes a 10-year transferable warranty backed by local insurance.
Recent projects include a Fells Point tavern basement that now stays dry despite being below sea level, using a combination of sump pumps and hydraulic cement repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will waterproofing disrupt my garden?
We carefully excavate around mature plantings and replace topsoil. For delicate landscapes like Mount Vernon's rose gardens, we use interior-only solutions.
How long does the process take?
Most row house projects complete in 3-5 days. Larger waterfront properties may require 2 weeks for full exterior systems.
