A new sump pump was adding replacing the old one. The job was done in a few hours and the crew cleaned up. Very impressed with the work and crew. Many thanks to Roman for outlining the work to be done.

HRC Waterproofing did an incredible job patching up cracks in our stucco wall. They were prompt, timely and incredibly professional. We highly recommend them!

Gregory W.

Incredible experience with HRC waterproofing. After three basement floods over 10 years we reached out to HRC and Raymond and his team (on short notice) put in pumps and a French drain. Our basement has stayed dry through several severe storms in which our neighbors experienced flooding.

Ryan L.

HR installed a french drain system in my basement a few months ago. The system has kept my once flooded basement dry as bone. I no longer have to worry and watch the weather wondering not if, but how much water I will get.

Michael S.

The team was very professional and well versed in waterproofing. They provided multiple solutions at a fair price and didn’t pressure me into any additional services. In the event it’s needed I’d use them again.

FAQ's

  • How can I tell whether a basement water problem requires professional waterproofing?

    Persistent dampness, recurring leaks, musty odors, wall cracks, efflorescence, or pooling water can indicate underlying moisture problems. Identifying the source early helps prevent worsening damage and costly repairs.

  • Is basement waterproofing still necessary if water only appears during heavy rain?

    Yes. Water appearing only after storms can still indicate hydrostatic pressure, inadequate drainage, or foundation vulnerabilities. Repeated exposure can gradually damage walls, finishes, belongings, and structural components.

  • Can waterproofing fix foundation cracks that are allowing water into my home?

    Waterproofing can address moisture intrusion associated with certain foundation cracks, but the appropriate solution depends on the crack’s location, size, movement, and cause. Structural concerns may require additional evaluation.

  • What is the difference between waterproofing and simply sealing a basement leak?

    Sealing a visible leak may address one entry point, while waterproofing focuses more broadly on controlling moisture around vulnerable areas. Treating the underlying water pathway can provide more lasting protection.

  • Why does my basement smell musty even when I cannot see standing water?

    A musty odor can result from elevated humidity, concealed moisture, damp masonry, or areas where water is entering behind finishes. Investigating hidden moisture is important before relying solely on dehumidification.

  • Can basement waterproofing help protect my belongings from future water damage?

    Effective moisture control can reduce the likelihood of water damaging stored belongings, flooring, walls, and other basement finishes. Keeping valuable items elevated and maintaining drainage systems provides additional protection.

  • What happens if I postpone waterproofing after noticing repeated moisture?

    Repeated moisture can contribute to mold growth, deteriorating finishes, corrosion, odors, and masonry damage. Addressing problems earlier can make remediation simpler and reduce the possibility of more extensive restoration work.

  • Does waterproofing only matter for older homes in New York?

    No. Newer properties can also experience drainage problems, construction defects, foundation cracks, grading issues, or changing groundwater conditions. Waterproofing needs depend on the property’s moisture exposure rather than simply its age.

  • How does New York’s weather affect residential waterproofing needs?

    Heavy rainfall, seasonal storms, snowmelt, and fluctuating temperatures can increase moisture around foundations. Proper waterproofing and drainage help manage these conditions and reduce recurring water intrusion into vulnerable areas.

  • Should I repair interior basement damage before fixing the water intrusion?

    Usually, the moisture source should be addressed first. Repairing drywall, flooring, paint, or other finishes before resolving water entry can result in repeated damage and unnecessary repair expenses.
