Your foundation carries the entire weight of your home, and water is its biggest enemy. Moisture soaking through foundation walls causes cracks, efflorescence, leaks and deterioration over time. Homex Builders waterproofs foundations for homes and buildings across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey.
Our foundation waterproofing work ranges from exterior excavation with membranes and drainage board to parging, crack repair and sealing at grade. We also address grading and downspouts so water flows away from the building instead of toward it.
What Our Foundation Waterproofing Includes
Depending on access and conditions, foundation waterproofing may include:
Exterior Membranes
Applying waterproof membranes and drainage board to excavated foundation walls.
Parging & Crack Repair
Repairing cracks and applying a cement parge coat to protect exposed foundation walls.
Drainage & Grading
Footing drains, downspout extensions and grading that direct water away from the foundation.
Waterproofing the outside of a foundation is the most complete protection available, and it is ideal during new construction, additions or when a basement is being finished.

Why Choose Homex Builders
Frequently Asked Questions
Look for damp or leaking basement walls, white mineral deposits, cracks, peeling paint and musty odors near the foundation.
Parging is a cement-based coating applied to the exposed part of a foundation wall. It protects the masonry from water and gives a clean, uniform finish.
A properly installed exterior membrane and drainage system can last for decades when grading and gutters are maintained.
Pricing depends on the size of the area, the condition of existing materials, access and the materials you choose. We provide a free on-site estimate with a clear scope and price before any work begins.
