What's Included in This Service?

Your waterproofing project begins with identifying where water enters and why it's pooling near your foundation. Waterproofing services in Salem involve inspecting drainage patterns, soil grade, and foundation walls to determine the best approach. This evaluation guides the selection of techniques that will keep your basement dry and protect your home's structure.

MH & E Excavating uses methods like exterior excavation to expose foundation walls, apply sealants, and install drainage systems that direct water away from your home. Knowledge of local neighborhoods helps determine common trouble spots and entry patterns. You'll see work that addresses both immediate moisture problems and long-term prevention.

Solutions are designed to handle seasonal snowmelt and slow-draining clay soil that create ongoing moisture challenges. The goal is to create a barrier that keeps water out and allows your basement to stay dry through changing weather conditions.

How Our Process Works

Understanding how waterproofing works helps you choose the right approach and maintain a dry, healthy basement for years to come.

Why is waterproofing important in Salem?
High moisture levels, seasonal snowmelt, and slow-draining clay soil create conditions where water pushes against foundations and seeps into basements. Waterproofing protects your home's structure and prevents ongoing moisture damage.
What methods are used for waterproofing?
Techniques include drainage correction, exterior sealants applied to foundation walls, and excavation to install drainage systems that direct water away from your home. Each method is chosen based on your foundation type and moisture source.
How long does waterproofing take?
Most projects are completed within a few days to a week, depending on the extent of excavation and the number of walls being treated. Larger homes or complex drainage issues may take longer.
Will waterproofing fix existing water damage?
Waterproofing prevents future water intrusion, but existing damage to walls or floors may require separate repair work. Addressing both moisture prevention and structural damage ensures a complete solution.
When is the best time to waterproof?
Scheduling waterproofing before wet seasons or snowmelt periods gives you the best protection. Early action prevents damage and keeps your basement dry when moisture levels are highest.

Your basement should be a dry, usable space, not a source of worry every time it rains. Waterproofing that addresses local soil and moisture conditions gives you peace of mind and protects your home's value. Get in touch now to schedule an assessment and keep water where it belongs.
