Our Comprehensive Services
Residential & Commercial Waterproofing
Our comprehensive waterproofing services ensure that both homes and businesses remain dry and structurally sound. We inspect basements, foundations, and exterior walls to identify vulnerabilities, then provide customized solutions that meet local building codes and industry standards. Trust us to shield your property from water damage so you can enjoy peace of mind.
Waterproof Installation
Proper waterproofing starts with expert installation. We utilize advanced materials such as membranes, sealants, and drainage systems designed to keep moisture out and your foundation intact. Our installation methods are backed by decades of industry experience, ensuring lasting protection for your investment.
Crawlspace Waterproofing
Crawlspaces can harbor humidity, mold, and pests when not properly sealed. Our crawlspace waterproofing service includes thorough assessment, encapsulation, and sealing to create a healthier environment. This service not only prevents structural damage but also improves air quality in your home or business.
Crack Injection
Cracks in your foundation or walls can lead to significant water intrusion if ignored. We use professional-grade polyurethane or epoxy crack injection to fill and seal gaps permanently. This quick and effective process prevents further deterioration, preserving your property’s structural integrity.
Rod Hole Repair
Rod holes in foundation walls are a common vulnerability. Our experts will effectively seal these small yet troublesome openings to prevent water from seeping in. We use specialized materials designed for rod hole repair to create a watertight seal that stands the test of time.
Footings Installation
A solid foundation begins with properly installed footings. We offer expert footing installation services to stabilize your property and prevent shifting or settling caused by water infiltration. Rely on our technical expertise to ensure the longevity of your structure.
Foundation & Structural Stabilization
Maintaining a stable foundation is crucial for protecting your home or commercial property from long-term damage. Beyond waterproofing, AM Waterproofers also specializes in structural reinforcement solutions designed to prevent or correct bowing, cracking, and shifting walls.
Carbon Fiber Straps
For walls that require stabilization rather than realignment, our carbon fiber strap system provides a minimally invasive solution. Each strap comes with an impressive 25-year warranty, giving you peace of mind for the long haul. While carbon fiber straps won’t push bowing walls back, they are highly effective at halting further movement and reinforcing the overall integrity of your foundation.
I-Beams Wall Supports
If a wall is noticeably bowed or leaning, I-beams can help gradually move it toward its original position while preventing additional movement. Installed against the interior of the foundation wall, these sturdy steel beams offer a powerful bracing system that tackles mild to moderate structural issues over time.
Wall Anchors
For severely bowed or leaning foundation walls, wall anchors may be the best option. By using anchor plates and steel rods, this system can pull walls outward to restore stability and alignment. This method is especially effective for significant wall movement, safeguarding both residential and commercial properties.
Panel Crack Repair
When your basement or crawlspace walls show vertical, diagonal, or horizontal cracks, our specialized panel crack repair process seals and reinforces the damaged areas. By using high-quality materials and proven techniques, we prevent water intrusion and help maintain the structural strength of your foundation.

How do I know if my basement needs waterproofing?
Look for signs like musty odors, visible water stains, damp walls, or mold growth. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection with our team.
Is waterproofing a permanent fix?
When done correctly with quality materials, waterproofing can be extremely long-lasting. We offer warranties on many of our services to ensure your investment is protected.
Does crawlspace encapsulation really help with air quality?
Absolutely. A sealed and properly insulated crawlspace prevents moisture, which reduces mold growth and improves the overall air quality in your home or business.
Can I waterproof my property myself?
While minor maintenance can be done by homeowners, professional waterproofing ensures comprehensive and lasting results. DIY methods may not address underlying structural issues.
How long does a typical waterproofing job take?
The timeframe varies based on the size and complexity of the project. Most residential jobs can be completed within a few days, while larger commercial projects may take longer.
What is crack injection, and how does it work?
Crack injection involves using polyurethane or epoxy to fill and seal cracks in walls or foundations. This method prevents water intrusion and further structural damage.
Do I need a sump pump?
If your property is prone to flooding or located in a high-water table area, a sump pump can be crucial for preventing water buildup in your basement or crawlspace.
Will waterproofing increase my property value?
Yes. A waterproofed property is more attractive to potential buyers and helps maintain or increase property value by preventing costly water damage.
