A wet basement leads to mold, musty odors, damaged belongings and long-term structural problems. In older NYC homes, groundwater, poor drainage and aging foundations make basement leaks especially common. Homex Builders waterproofs basements for homeowners and property owners across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey.
We find where the water is coming from, whether it is cracks, the joint between wall and floor, window wells or hydrostatic pressure, and recommend the right system. Options include crack injection, interior drainage with a sump pump, waterproof wall coatings and exterior membranes, so your basement stays dry and usable year-round.

A dry basement protects your foundation, improves indoor air quality and adds usable living space. If you plan to finish your basement, waterproofing first is essential.

Why Choose Homex Builders
Frequently Asked Questions
Common causes include foundation cracks, failing wall-floor joints, poor grading and gutters, clogged drains and groundwater pressure pushing through walls and floors.
Interior systems manage water that gets in and are less disruptive. Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches the wall but requires excavation. We recommend the right approach after inspecting your basement.
Removing the water source is the first step in stopping mold. Existing mold should be cleaned or remediated, and we can help with that as well.
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.
Most interior basement waterproofing does not require a permit. Exterior excavation or work affecting drainage connections may. We help confirm requirements.
