Local factors in Pittsburgh

Frequently asked questions
Why does my basement leak only after heavy rain?
Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, saturate the soil, and raise water pressure against the foundation. The entry point may be a crack, cove joint, or window well.
Will interior waterproofing stop all water?
Interior systems manage water that reaches the basement and route it to a drain. Exterior waterproofing addresses the soil side. The right approach depends on the cause.
How long does a sump pump last?
Many sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years, depending on use and quality. A backup system can help during power outages.
Can I finish a basement after waterproofing?
Yes, but the space should be dry and the waterproofing system should be working before framing and finishes are installed.
