Basement waterproofing stops water from entering below-grade space, or moves it out before it does damage. In Niles, where many homes sit on older foundations with clay-heavy soil, the usual fixes fall into three groups: exterior work (excavation, membrane coating, and drain tile at the footing), interior drainage (a perimeter channel feeding a sump pit and pump), and crack or wall repair (epoxy or polyurethane injection).
