Set in Stone has protected Rhode Island basements from water damage since 1983. Whether you need basement waterproofing, foundation waterproofing, or emergency leak repair, we provide comprehensive solutions that keep your basement dry and your foundation protected. From interior basement waterproofing to exterior drainage systems, our experienced team delivers permanent waterproofing solutions for homes throughout Rhode Island.
Expert Basement Waterproofing Services
Water in your basement damages foundations, promotes mold growth, and decreases property value. We provide complete waterproofing basement solutions tailored to your specific water intrusion problems.
Interior Basement Waterproofing
Interior basement waterproofing addresses water that’s already entering your basement. We install interior drainage systems that capture water and direct it to sump pumps before it floods your space. Sealing basement walls with waterproof membranes and coatings creates a moisture barrier that prevents seepage. Our basement sealing methods stop dampness, reduce humidity, and protect against future water intrusion.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing
Exterior basement waterproofing stops water before it reaches your basement walls. This comprehensive approach includes excavating around your foundation, applying waterproof membrane coatings, installing drainage systems, and ensuring proper grading. Foundation waterproofing from the outside provides the most effective long-term protection against groundwater and prevents hydrostatic pressure that causes wall cracks and structural damage.
Basement Wall Sealing & Crack Repair
Cracks in basement walls allow water infiltration and worsen over time. We repair foundation cracks using injection methods and apply professional-grade sealants that create waterproof barriers. Our basement wall crack repair prevents minor leaks from becoming major flooding problems and protects your foundation’s structural integrity.
French Drain & Drainage Systems
French drains redirect groundwater away from your foundation before it enters your basement. We install both interior and exterior French drain systems, perimeter drainage, and downspout extensions that manage water flow during heavy rain. Proper drainage is essential for keeping Rhode Island basements dry through all seasons.
Concrete Waterproofing
Concrete waterproofing protects poured concrete and concrete block foundations from water penetration. We apply penetrating sealers and crystalline waterproofing products that fill concrete pores and prevent moisture transmission. This treatment works on basement floors, walls, and foundations to create comprehensive water protection.
Common Basement Water Problems We Fix
Rhode Island’s high water tables, heavy precipitation, and freeze-thaw cycles create basement water challenges. We regularly solve:
Water Seepage & Leaks
Water seeping through basement walls or floors indicates foundation cracks, poor exterior drainage, or hydrostatic pressure. We identify entry points and implement appropriate waterproofing solutions—whether interior sealing, exterior waterproofing, or drainage improvements.
Basement Flooding
Basement flooding during heavy rain signals inadequate drainage, failed sump pumps, or overwhelmed gutters. We install comprehensive drainage systems, backup sump pumps, and exterior water management solutions that prevent flooding even during severe storms.
Moisture & Humidity Issues
Damp, musty basements with visible moisture or mold growth need waterproofing solutions. High humidity damages stored items, promotes mold, and indicates water intrusion. We address the source—whether groundwater seepage, condensation, or inadequate ventilation—with appropriate waterproofing methods.
Interior vs. Exterior Waterproofing: What You Need
Both approaches effectively protect basements, but different situations call for different solutions:
Exterior waterproofing provides maximum protection when:
- You’re addressing serious water problems
- The foundation shows structural concerns
- You want the most comprehensive long-term solution
- You’re already excavating for other work
Interior waterproofing is ideal when:
- Exterior excavation isn’t feasible
- Water intrusion is minor to moderate
- You need a faster, more affordable solution
- The foundation exterior is inaccessible
