Lasting Protection from Water Damage
Whether your basement in Pennsylvania is occasionally humid or frequently floods, moisture control is key to maintaining a dry space. Water around your foundation exerts pressure on your basement walls, leading to cracks and allowing more moisture inside. This can escalate into serious foundation issues over time. Excess moisture can also make your home harder to dehumidify, promote the growth of mold and mildew, attract dust mites, and damage interior features like paint, wallpaper, and furniture.
Signs You Have Basement Water Issues
Even occasional flooding is a strong sign that basement waterproofing is necessary. But it’s not just flooding you should watch for. A musty smell, damp air, water stains, and efflorescence are all indicators of a moisture issue. Mold, mildew, standing water, cracked concrete, or rotting wood are additional signs that there's a serious moisture problem that needs to be addressed.
Standing Water
Standing water that is not due to a plumbing leak is caused by water accumulation near the foundation that is seeping into the basement through cracks, joints, window wells, porous concrete, and so forth.
Water Stains
Water stains can appear on basement walls, floors, and ceilings and are an indication that water is getting in through sweating or due to problems with either the foundation or the home’s drainage system.
Cracking Concrete
Concrete that is cracked or crumbling suggests that water is getting into the basement, and these imperfections are often caused by hydrostatic pressure that forces the water through the concrete and into the basements.
Mold and Mildew
Basements are often the perfect breeding ground for mold because mold spores grow fast in environments that are hot, dark, and moist. Mold can cause serious damage to various aspects of your home and is also a serious health risk.
Efflorescence
When water in your basement evaporates, it leaves behind minerals. These minerals create chalky texture on walls that is referred to as efflorescence, which is easy to clean but which will continue coming back without waterproofing.
Rotted Wood
Rotted wood in a basement is quite serious as it means that the water damage is extensive and has been occurring for some time. As part of the waterproofing process, it is necessary to remove and replace all rotted wood.

Moisture problems in basements can vary widely, meaning they require individualized solutions for each home and business. AWS specializes in providing tailored basement waterproofing services, such as installing foundation drainage systems, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, as well as offering basement floor crack repairs and foundation repairs.
Foundation Drainage Systems

Sump Pump Installation
Sump pumps are essential for basements that experience frequent flooding. Having a dependable, high-quality sump pump is crucial when water levels rise, and it's equally important to have a backup system. There are several options available, such as pedestal sump pumps, submersible sump pumps, battery backups, and combination systems. Our team will help you select the best pump to suit your home’s needs.
Dehumidifier Installation
If a basement has excess moisture, then an effective way to control it is through a dehumidifier that is installed in the basement. Dehumidifiers are available in a range of sizes. You can choose one just large enough to control the humidity in the basement. You can also opt for a whole-house dehumidifier, which makes a home more comfortable and can provide many benefits when it comes to cooling your home.

When waterproofing your basement, AWS can address all the damage caused by water intrusion. Our team will repair any cracks in the basement walls and floors, as well as fix any foundation issues resulting from the moisture.
