"Lane came out and listened to all our needs. He walked us through a very clear plan for our basement. They gave us a reasonable quote and were able to schedule us a few weeks later. It took them 2 days to do the work and it was done very professionally. The crew was extremely nice. They brought extra plastic to make sure all our belongings were covered. They even helped me move my washer and dryer! They made sure everything was clean and to our standards before they left. The whole experience has been great and I highly recommend them for whoever is having water issues in their basement or crawl space."

"I was having quite a bit of water come in through the basement walls. Since the water proofing was done we have had heavy down pours, several tropical storms and a hurricane and the basement and crawl space have been dry."

"In July, 2019, our basement flooded for at least the 10th time since my wife and I had lived there. It was awful. It resulted in assistance from ServPro as well as remediation for mold. However, before remediation was performed, ServPro handed me a business card for Sparks Waterproofing. Jody Sparks (owner) came less than a week later for a site inspection of our home, our basement, and the topography of our property. He explained the concept of waterproofing as "water diversion." He took several days to meticulously put a comprehensive waterproofing plan together for us. Upon submitting the plan, he stated, "Your home, including your basement, will NOT flood again if you follow this plan." We hired him. We trusted him. He even assisted my wife with her concerns about some herb gardens and elderberry trees which she hoped he would be able to assist her with hopefully saving during the process. And he and his crew did just that. Over the past several months we have had several hard rains in Lenoir and our basement has been without even a drop of water. But the past 24 hours, when Lenoir received almost four inches of rain, much of it in torrents over a few hours, our home and our basement have not had even a drop of water. My wife and I can never thank Parks Waterproofing, Jody, Amber, and their highly professional crew members enough. I cannot sing their praises adequately. I would recommend Jody without hesitation. He was fair, patient, he listened to our concerns, he took his time in developing a water diversion plan specifically for our home, and his price was beyond just reasonable. Basically, they saved our home."

"

Very well.  I feel so comfortable about the stability of my home.  Jim, the owner of the company, was always looking for the best and most reasonable way to solve a problem.  His crew was hard working and came to work when they said they would (except for the rainy periods of course).  The house was empty so they stayed at my home (so they could be close to the job) and kept very good care of it.

 It was an expensive repair but I believe I could not have found a better crew for the same price. Since I was out of state much of the time, they kept me informed at every step, which is helpful when you can not be there.
I definitely would recommend them for waterproofing but I was most impressed with their ability to do the structural reinforcement."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.

Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it’s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost.

Proper drainage is the only way to ensure that your crawl space stays dry. Depending on your property and the extent of your issue, you might need to consider a gutter system, a French drain, or sump pumps to avoid and handle water and moisture under your home. Dehumidifiers can also help to prevent moisture from accumulating if you have a high-humidity environment.
