A wet basement is not just a nuisance -- it reduces your usable living space, damages stored belongings, causes mold growth, and can weaken your foundation over time. If your basement leaks during rain, has damp walls, or smells musty, waterproofing is the permanent solution.
Ultra Water Damage Restoration offers both interior and exterior basement waterproofing solutions. Interior options include sump pump installation, interior drain tile systems, vapor barriers, and waterproof coatings. Exterior options include excavation with membrane application and exterior drain tile.
Interior waterproofing (drain tile + sump pump) costs $3,000-$8,000 for a standard basement. Exterior waterproofing costs $8,000-$15,000+ due to excavation. Sump pump installation alone runs $1,000-$2,500. We recommend the approach based on your specific water entry points.
Every waterproofing system we install comes with a transferable warranty. We also install battery backup sump pumps for power-outage protection.

Installation
Our crew installs the waterproofing system: drain tile, sump pit, pump, discharge line, and vapor barrier. Most interior jobs take 2-4 days.
Testing
We test the system by introducing water into the drain tile and verifying the sump pump activates and discharges properly. Battery backup is tested.
