Serving North Salt Lake and nearby communities.

Water finds its way into a basement through the path of least resistance, and in Davis County that path is usually hydrostatic pressure building up during spring snowmelt runoff. Most homes here have full basements, so this work goes hand in hand with foundation repair rather than being an afterthought.

North Salt Lake Foundation Pros diagnoses the actual entry point before recommending interior drainage, a sump system, or exterior sealing. A damp spot in one corner doesn't always need the same fix as a wall that's seeping along its whole length.

How it works

How Our Basement Waterproofing Process Works

Step 1
Moisture Assessment
The basement is inspected for leaks, dampness, and water entry points.
Step 2
Drainage Evaluation
Existing drainage systems are reviewed for effectiveness and blockages.
Step 3
Interior Drain Installation
A drainage channel is installed along the basement perimeter to collect water.
Step 4
Sump Pump Setup
A pump system is installed to remove collected water from the area.
Step 5
Wall Sealing
Walls are treated with waterproof coatings to prevent moisture intrusion.
Step 6
System Testing
The waterproofing system is tested to verify proper function.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Basement Waterproofing

Interior Drain Tile
Channels water to a collection point before it reaches living spaces, built for the snowmelt surge each spring.
Sump Pump System
Removes accumulated water to keep the basement dry year-round.
Waterproof Wall Coating
Creates a barrier against moisture penetration through basement walls.
Vapor Barrier Sheeting
Reduces humidity transfer from soil into the basement space.
Check Valve
Prevents discharged water from flowing back into the system.
Battery Backup Pump
Provides continued pump operation during power outages, useful when storms knock out power at the same time groundwater rises.

FAQs

Basement Waterproofing FAQs

Why does my yard flood near the foundation every spring?

Snowmelt runoff along the Wasatch Front has to go somewhere, and if grading or drainage isn't routing it away, it pools right where your foundation sits, pushing water against the wall.

Is crawl space encapsulation worth it in Utah's climate?

For homes with persistent crawl space moisture, yes. It keeps humidity and water vapor from working their way up into the living space, and it pairs well with basement drainage work.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

Pricing depends on linear footage of wall, whether the approach is interior or exterior, and if a sump pump is part of the scope. A free estimate gives you specifics.

How long does the work take?

Interior drain tile installation usually runs one to several days depending on wall length. Exterior work takes longer due to excavation.

Do I need a permit for basement waterproofing?

Interior drainage work typically doesn't. Exterior excavation-based waterproofing often does, depending on scope.
