Water in your basement doesn’t have to be a constant worry. ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing protects homes in Cumberland County with custom waterproofing systems that stop leaks, control moisture, and keep your space dry year-round.
In Cumberland County, heavy rains and high groundwater can turn basements into damp, musty spaces, or worse, flood zones. Even a small amount of seepage can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and a drop in your home’s value. At ’58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we stop basement leaks at the source. Whether it’s water coming through the walls, seeping up from the floor, or collecting around the foundation, our systems are built to redirect it and keep your basement clean, dry, and usable year-round.
In Cumberland County, basement water issues often begin outside the home. Poor grading, clogged gutters, and aging foundation drainage systems allow rainwater to collect around the base of your home. Over time, this constant pressure forces water through weak points like cracks, porous concrete, or seams where the wall meets the floor. Older homes may lack any form of waterproofing or drainage, making them especially vulnerable during heavy storms or snowmelt. Even homes built on sloped lots can experience seepage if the water has nowhere else to go. Without intervention, these outside forces begin to break down the basement’s defenses and invite water inside.
Waterproofing isn’t just for homes with major flooding. Even minor moisture problems, like musty smells, efflorescence, or occasional damp spots, are signs that water is making its way inside. Over time, this can damage stored belongings, promote mold growth, and weaken the structure of your home. If you’ve ever had water enter during a storm, noticed humidity rising, or seen staining on the basement walls or floor, waterproofing may be needed. A professional inspection will reveal what’s happening behind the scenes and whether action should be taken now to prevent larger issues later.
No two basements are exactly alike. That’s why we design waterproofing systems based on the structure, layout, and water patterns of your home. Our technicians assess the foundation type, existing drainage, and any signs of hydrostatic pressure or wall seepage before recommending a solution.
Interior Drainage Systems
We install perimeter drainage channels along the inside of your foundation to capture water and guide it to a sump pump. These systems are hidden beneath the floor slab and finished with new concrete to restore a clean surface.
Sump Pump Installation
Our sump pumps are powerful, reliable, and professionally installed to handle high water volumes during storms. They serve as the core of the waterproofing system, discharging collected water away from the home through an exterior line.
Vapor Barriers and Wall Liners
To control moisture and humidity, we install heavy-duty vapor barriers over walls and exposed surfaces. These liners stop dampness from entering the air and create a clean, dry look for unfinished spaces.
Foundation Crack Sealing
Hairline or visible cracks are common in poured concrete walls, but they don’t have to lead to leaks. We seal foundation cracks with high-performance materials that flex with seasonal movement and stop water from getting through.
Backup Battery Systems
To protect your basement during power outages, we install backup batteries that keep your sump pump running when you need it most. This extra layer of protection ensures peace of mind no matter the forecast.
Every waterproofing system is customized for your home and backed by our Life-of-the-Structure Warranty. We use proven methods, tested materials, and clear communication from the first inspection to the final walkthrough.
