If your basement is cold, drafty, and humid, it could cost you hundreds of dollars per year. Even if your upper floors are insulated, the cold will force your utilities to work harder than ever just to get through the day.
Simply sealing off your basement or crawl space from seasonal, torrential rains can help you save money on energy. Sealed cracks can also help you save energy by keeping cold air out of your home during the winter.
Similarly, your air conditioner will not have to work as hard to keep the house cool during the hot summer months.
Your basement is essentially a large, cold cavity beneath your home. It gets much warmer when it’s waterproofed, which means the rest of your house gets warmer as well. This is because there is no cold air rising up, making the rest of your house feel cozier.
Poor indoor air quality is common in damp, mildewy homes, which can make your living space uncomfortable. Damp conditions also foster the growth of mold, which has the potential to cause serious health problems in both humans and pets.
Sealing the exterior of your basement helps prevent water from entering your home through that particular area.
Insurance companies rarely cover mold damage which is seen as the homeowner's failure to remedy it. Our team will perform a thorough basement inspection to assess the extent of water damage and recommend the best repair/restoration options.
The exterior waterproofing process entails excavating the soil around your home and repairing leaks with a strong sealant. This procedure is critical for ensuring proper drainage and sealing to prevent water from seeping into the basement.
Interior waterproofing (also known as internal waterproofing) is a method of repairing basement leaks from the inside of your home. It is widely regarded as the most effective solution for a damp or wet basement.
Basement underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilizing an existing building or structure's foundation.
A window cutout is an excellent way to add light, space, and airflow to your house.
Waterproof repair services commonly include underpinning, structural crack repairs, and exterior and interior waterproofing.

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to basement waterproofing. The best solution for your home will be determined by the source of the problem, the location of your home, and the type of foundation you have.
That is why, at Royal Work, we take a step-by-step approach to explaining the steps to permanently fix it and how much it's going to cost. When you work with Royal Work Corp., you can rest assured that you're getting your money's worth.
We begin excavating by combining machine and hand digging to gain access to your foundation and begin the waterproofing process.
Waterproofing a basement from the inside is less expensive and less disruptive than excavation from the outside.
For an interior drainage system, a trench must be dug along the interior perimeter of the basement floor. To remove the water, we install a drain and sump pump.
The final step in basement waterproofing is to use a compactor to tamp the earth tightly against the foundation. Then we finish the project by adding a layer of topsoil with the finish grade sloped away from the house.

The sump pump is the most powerful defense in basement waterproofing. Excess groundwater fills the sump pit and the sump pump automatically turns on to pump and safely redirect the water away from your foundation and basement.
Interior basement waterproofing can be provided with the installation of drains and pipes under the basement floor around the perimeter of the room. This provides a route for water to flow directly to the sump pump and outside.
Excavation and a complete inspection of your drainage system and replacement of clogged, damaged or worn weeping tile sections will provide a long-term exterior basement waterproofing solution.
Even though your foundation wall is made from a seemingly solid material, concrete is actually quite porous. The installation of a foundation wall membrane system on the outside or inside can act as a vapor barrier to prevent water and moisture from passing through to your basement.
