Do you serve my area?

We partner with licensed local contractors across the country. Enter your ZIP code above and we will instantly confirm whether we have a crew available in your area.

Will one company call me, or will I get flooded with contractor calls?

One contractor: your licensed local team. We are not a marketplace that sells your number to five businesses.

Why do I need a visit instead of just getting a number now?

A real price depends on your exact space, materials, and access, things no phone call can measure. Your free in-home visit is how we get you an accurate number instead of a guess, with zero obligation to buy.

What happens if I wait to fix this?

Water intrusion compounds over time: today it is a musty smell, next season it can be mold behind the drywall and a compromised foundation wall. Fixing it now is a fraction of fixing it later.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

Interior solutions like a drain system and sump pump typically run **$3,000 to $10,000** depending on the basement's size and severity of water intrusion, while exterior excavation and waterproofing membrane systems can cost $10,000 to $25,000 or more. Neu Home Services offers financing options to help homeowners address the issue without paying the full cost upfront.

Does homeowners insurance cover basement waterproofing?

Standard homeowners insurance **generally does not cover** basement waterproofing since it's considered a maintenance and prevention measure, though it may cover sudden damage from a specific covered event like a burst pipe. Gradual seepage, groundwater intrusion, and flooding are almost always excluded, which is why most homeowners pay for waterproofing out of pocket or through financing.

Do I need a permit for basement waterproofing?

Interior waterproofing work like installing a sump pump or interior drain tile typically **does not require a permit** in most jurisdictions since it doesn't alter the structure, but exterior excavation, foundation repair, or adding an egress window often does. A licensed local contractor pulls any required permits as part of the job so homeowners don't have to navigate it themselves.

What are the signs a basement needs waterproofing?

Common warning signs include **efflorescence** (white chalky residue on walls), musty odors, peeling paint, visible water stains, and standing water after heavy rain, along with foundation cracks that widen over time. Basement humidity readings consistently above 55%, even without visible water, is also a sign moisture is getting in.

We had water seeping in every time it rained. The crew came out, assessed the problem, and had a full drainage system installed in two days. Our basement has been completely dry ever since. Worth every penny.

After years of dealing with a damp, musty basement, we finally called for an estimate. The team was professional and finished faster than expected. No more mold smell, our basement finally feels like part of the house again.

We were worried about foundation cracks we noticed last spring. The inspector came out the next day, gave us an honest assessment, and the repair was done within a week. The lifetime warranty gave us real peace of mind.

I put off waterproofing for too long and ended up with serious mold issues. The team installed a full interior drainage system and sump pump, and walked me through how to keep everything maintained. First-class service.

We wanted to finish our basement but knew the moisture problem had to be solved first. They installed a vapor barrier and drainage system, and now we have a beautiful dry space the kids use every day.

Every spring our basement would flood after snowmelt. We finally got the waterproofing done and this was our first completely dry spring in over a decade. Can't say enough good things.
