Serving Millcreek and nearby communities.

That musty smell every spring isn't your imagination. Snowmelt raises groundwater along the Wasatch Front, and full-basement homes in Millcreek take on hydrostatic pressure right at the wall-floor joint. Water finds a way in there before it ever shows up as a visible puddle.

Millcreek Foundation Pros treats waterproofing as part of the structural system, not a separate add-on. Drain tile, sump pump, and wall sealing work together to manage where the water goes.

Materials

Materials and methods for Basement Waterproofing

Interior Drain Tile
Channels water to a collection point before it reaches living spaces, the main defense in full-basement homes against spring groundwater.
Sump Pump System
Removes accumulated water to keep the basement dry through peak snowmelt weeks.
Waterproof Wall Coating
Creates a barrier against moisture penetration through basement walls.
Vapor Barrier Sheeting
Reduces humidity transfer from soil into the basement space.
Check Valve
Prevents discharged water from flowing back into the system.
Battery Backup Pump
Provides continued pump operation during power outages, useful during spring storms.

FAQs

Basement Waterproofing FAQs

What's the difference between french drains and a sump pump system?

A french drain redirects water on the exterior before it reaches the foundation. A sump pump handles water that's already collected inside, usually via interior drain tile feeding into a pit. Many Millcreek homes benefit from both working together.

Why does my basement smell musty every spring?

Snowmelt raises groundwater and pushes moisture through basement walls and the floor joint, even without visible flooding. The smell is often the first sign before you see any water.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

It depends on whether you need interior drain tile, sump pump work, or full exterior waterproofing. A moisture assessment will scope the right combination.

Is DIY waterproofing worth trying?

Improving surface grading around your home is a reasonable DIY step. Interior drain tile and sump tie-in need professional slope and flow work to actually function.

Does this fix a bowing wall too?

Waterproofing addresses the water. If the wall is also bowed, pairing with wall stabilization handles the structural piece.
