Foundation Crack Repair

The first step in any basement waterproofing process should always be foundation repair. If your foundation has cracks and fissures, water can leak in through those breaks--so no matter how effective your basement drainage system, you'll still end up with a wet basement. AM Shield Waterproofing offers foundation crack repair using a urethane injection method, completely filling the crack with a flexible material for long-term performance and durability. Sometimes foundation repair is all you need to keep your basement dry, but more likely you'll also need a drainage system.

Basement Drainage Systems

Known by a variety of names (including pressure relief systems, basement drainage systems, and French drains), basement waterproofing systems are designed to collect and redirect water out of your basement before it can do any damage. Hydrostatic pressure--the pressure of the water in the soil around your foundation--can push water into your basement through cracks in your foundation, including the seam between the footing and the foundation walls. But with a basement drainage system from AM Shield Waterproofing, your pressure relief system will channel that water out of your basement, keeping it safe and dry.

Our basement waterproofing systems are sub-floor drainage channels installed around the base of your foundation walls. Using a bed of ¾" drainage gravel and 4" perforated pipe, this conduit collects the water forced into your basement by hydrostatic pressure, rerouting it to a sump pump where it is pumped out of your home. By collecting the water and safely removing it, the drainage system ensures your basement stays dry! At AM Shield Waterproofing, our expert basement waterproofing contractors custom fit your pressure relief system to your home, ensuring it's correctly installed for optimum performance. We recommend installing a battery backup sump pump as well as a primary sump pump to ensure your basement drainage system can keep up even when storms knock out the power. Your solution for a dry basement on Long Island, our basement waterproofing systems are ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

AM Shield Waterproofing fully guarantees our system to stop all sub-surface water infiltration, making your wet basement problems a thing of the past. Call now!

Foundation Waterproofing Coatings

Interior foundation coating can be a great way to augment your drainage system and help your basement look great. AM Shield Waterproofing offers several foundation coating options including waterproofing paint and an epoxy membrane. Designed to combat seepage through the porous walls of your basement and unsightly efflorescence, these coatings can help ensure your basement stays totally dry and looks fabulous at the same time. Call our basement waterproofing contractors today to learn more about which interior basement coating is right for your home or commercial property.

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing

AM Shield Waterproofing also offers exterior foundation waterproofing membranes. These systems seal out water from the outside, eliminating water seepage and moisture transpiration through your foundation walls. Even if properly sealed when constructed, your foundation's exterior coating may have worn off over time or become damaged by improper backfill. Our expert foundation contractors can replace your exterior foundation waterproofing membrane, making it watertight again to help keep your basement dry.

At AM Shield Waterproofing, our basement contractors offer two types of exterior foundation waterproofing, a trowel applied waterproofing membrane and a spray applied waterproofing membrane, and our professional foundation contractors can help you determine which of these is best for your home or commercial property. We'll carefully excavate around your foundation, repair any deteriorating concrete, and then apply the waterproofing membrane. Our professionals have over two decades of experience in proper foundation waterproofing, and we have what it takes to do the job right. Don't let inexperienced contractors or amateurs create issues with improper excavation, sealing, or backfill--our experts have the knowledge to perform a correct, complete exterior foundation waterproofing project from start to finish.
