Comprehensive Basement Waterproofing Solutions
If you’ve noticed damp walls, musty odors, or water stains in your basement, it’s time to schedule a professional basement waterproofing inspection. Moisture problems rarely fix themselves, and the longer they go unchecked, the more damage they can cause to your foundation, structural components, and indoor air quality.
At AWS, our basement waterproofing inspections are designed to uncover the true source of the problem. We don’t just look at surface-level symptoms. We carefully evaluate your basement, foundation, and surrounding conditions to determine exactly why water is getting in and what it will take to stop it for good.

Why a Basement Waterproofing Inspection Matters
Water intrusion can happen for many reasons. It might be caused by hydrostatic pressure pushing water through foundation walls, clogged exterior drainage systems, foundation cracks, deteriorating waterproofing materials, or poor grading around your home. Without a professional inspection, homeowners are often left guessing. Quick DIY fixes or temporary patches may mask the issue, but won’t solve the root cause.
A thorough basement waterproofing inspection helps:
- Identify the source of leaks or moisture
- Detect hidden structural concerns
- Prevent mold growth and air quality issues
- Protect your foundation from long-term damage
- Provide a clear plan for permanent repair
Catching the problem early can prevent more extensive repairs later and help preserve your home’s value.
Signs You May Need a Basement Waterproofing Inspection
Not all water problems involve standing puddles, since often times the warning signs are subtle. Consider scheduling an inspection if you notice water stains on walls or floors, efflorescence (a white, chalky residue from evaporating water), musty odors, or cracks in foundation walls or floors, which can all indicate moisture intrusion. Peeling paint, bubbling finishes, or increased basement humidity are additional signs of trapped moisture or poor drainage. An inspection from our pros at AWS can help determine whether you’re dealing with minor dampness or a more serious waterproofing issue.

What to Expect During an AWS Basement Waterproofing Inspection
When you schedule a basement waterproofing inspection with AWS, you can expect a detailed, systematic evaluation of your property. Our process typically includes the following.
Interior Assessment
We carefully examine basement walls, floors, joints, and penetrations for signs of water entry. This includes checking for cracks, active leaks, staining, and structural movement. We also assess humidity levels and look for signs of mold or mildew.
Exterior Evaluation
Water problems often start outside. We inspect grading around your home, downspouts, drainage patterns, foundation exposure, and visible exterior cracks. Improper drainage or soil conditions can contribute significantly to basement water intrusion.
Foundation Analysis
Your foundation is the first line of defense against water. We evaluate its condition, looking for structural vulnerabilities, settlement issues, or areas where waterproofing systems may have failed.
Drainage & Sump System Review
If your home has an interior drainage system or sump pump, we check for proper operation and overall effectiveness. If you don’t have one and it’s needed, we’ll explain why and outline your options.
Preventing Future Water Problems
Even if your basement is currently dry, a preventative waterproofing inspection can provide peace of mind. Homes in areas with heavy rainfall, high water tables, or older foundations are especially vulnerable to water intrusion over time.
Routine inspections can identify small vulnerabilities before they become costly problems. Being proactive is often far less disruptive than dealing with major water damage later. If you’re finishing your basement or planning renovations, a waterproofing inspection is also a smart step to ensure your investment stays protected.
