Every moisture problem has a different source. We identify yours specifically before we quote anything — then we deploy the right system, not the most expensive one.
💧
Interior Drain Tile & Perimeter Channel Systems
Interior drain tile systems collect groundwater at the footing level before it enters your living space. We saw-cut the slab perimeter, excavate to the footing, install gravel-bed perforated pipe, and tie it into a sump system with battery backup — so you stay dry even during power outages.
These systems don't fight hydrostatic pressure — they redirect it.

Full Excavation Exterior Waterproofing Systems
Full exterior waterproofing involves exposing your foundation to the footer depth, applying a crystalline or elastomeric waterproofing membrane, installing a geocomposite drainage mat, and placing exterior drain tile at the footing — the same specification used in new commercial construction.
This approach solves the problem at the source: water never reaches your interior wall surface.

Poured-Wall Crack Injection & Block Wall Repointing
Poured concrete foundation cracks are repaired from the interior using high-pressure polyurethane or epoxy injection — the appropriate chemistry depends on whether the crack is actively leaking or dry. Polyurethane foam expands into wet, actively leaking cracks and cures flexible, accommodating minor future movement. Epoxy injection is used in dry cracks where structural bond restoration is the goal.
Block wall repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar joints to a minimum depth of 3/4 inch and repacking with waterproof hydraulic mortar.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Systems
Crawl spaces are the most overlooked moisture source in residential structures. An unencapsulated crawl space — even one that "never floods" — pumps humid air into your living area through the stack effect, raising indoor humidity, feeding mold growth in floor joists, and accelerating wood rot in your subfloor structure. Full encapsulation seals that air pathway permanently.
For crawl spaces with active water entry, we install a perimeter drain channel at the footer line, route it to an appropriate discharge point or sump.

Primary & Backup Sump Pump Systems for Middlebury Homes
A sump pump is only as reliable as its installation and backup plan. We install primary pumps — typically 1/2 to 3/4 HP cast iron submersibles with a minimum 10-year rating — alongside battery-operated backup systems that activate automatically when your primary pump fails or power goes out.
For finished basements and properties with high groundwater, we recommend a dual-pump system: a primary submersible at normal operating level and a pedestal backup set two inches higher.

Window Well Drainage & Egress Window Waterproofing
Basement window wells are one of the most underestimated water entry points in residential waterproofing. When the well drain becomes clogged or the well itself is sized incorrectly for your roof drainage load, water pools against the window frame and enters through the sill, the window-to-frame joint, or the block wall directly adjacent.
Window well covers are a maintenance measure, not a waterproofing solution — but paired with proper drainage installation.
