Interior Waterproofing Services: Protect Your Home from Water Damage
Why Interior Waterproofing?
At G1000 Homes, we recognize that effective waterproofing is crucial to maintaining the integrity and safety of your home. While exterior waterproofing is often the preferred method for comprehensive protection, interior waterproofing plays a vital role in specific scenarios where external excavation is impractical or unsafe. Whether due to extensive landscaping, large trees, or space constraints, our interior waterproofing solutions offer a practical approach to managing water issues inside your home.
When to Choose Interior Waterproofing
Interior waterproofing is a valuable solution in several situations:
- Infeasibility of Excavation: If your property has significant landscaping, utility lines, or obstacles such as large trees, digging around your foundation may not be practical or safe.
- Space Constraints: Deep excavations can be problematic in areas where there is limited space, making exterior work risky or unfeasible.
Choosing interior waterproofing is not about undermining the effectiveness of exterior solutions but about providing a strategic alternative when conditions do not allow for traditional methods.
Our Interior Waterproofing Process
Our comprehensive interior waterproofing process is designed to effectively manage water entry and protect your home from potential damage. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we approach each project:
- Initial Assessment and Planning: We start by assessing the affected areas within your home. Our team carefully marks out where the floor will need to be removed and plans the most efficient approach for the job. This includes identifying the best areas for breaking up and removing the concrete.
- Floor Removal: We carefully break the floor approximately 12-15 inches away from the foundation wall. The concrete is then removed and disposed of, preparing the space for the installation of the waterproofing system.
- Channel Digging and Preparation: We dig a channel along the perimeter of the foundation wall to accommodate the weeping tile and membrane. In cases where landscape fabric is necessary, we line the channel to prevent clogging and ensure efficient water flow.
- Weeping Tile Installation: High-quality weeping tile is installed in the channel and connected to either your existing drainage system or a new sump pump. This system is crucial for directing water away from the foundation and managing moisture effectively.
- Gravel and Cement Replacement: Once the weeping tile is in place, we cover it with gravel to facilitate proper drainage. The excavated cement is then replaced and compacted, restoring the floor to its original state while ensuring a professional finish.
Understanding Interior Waterproofing
What Interior Waterproofing Achieves:
- Water Management: Interior waterproofing focuses on managing water that enters your basement from beneath the floor. By installing weeping tiles and connecting them to a sump pump, we redirect water away from the foundation.
- Temporary Solution for Small Leaks: This method is best suited for managing small leaks in basements with poured concrete floors and adequate drainage beneath. It provides a temporary solution but does not address larger or more persistent water issues.
Limitations of Interior Waterproofing:
- Does Not Prevent Frost Damage: Interior waterproofing does not protect your foundation from frost or temperature fluctuations.
- Does Not Stop Erosion: It does not address long-term erosion or degradation of the foundation walls.
- Does Not Repair the Water Source: This method does not resolve the root cause of water entering the foundation; it merely manages the water once it has penetrated the interior.
Interior waterproofing is about managing water flow under the basement slab, and while it can be highly effective for certain situations, it is not a replacement for comprehensive exterior waterproofing solutions when those are feasible.

Frequently asked questions
Discover more about our waterproofing services and get answers to commonly asked questions in our FAQ section. Gain valuable insights and make informed decisions for your construction project.
How do you waterproof interior walls?
There are several methods depending on the issue. Options include injection systems, hydraulic and crystalline products, and installing a French drain.
Can you waterproof from the inside?
Yes, you can. This approach is typically referred to as a water management system, and in many cases, involves installing a French drain.
Which is better: interior or exterior waterproofing?
The choice between interior and exterior waterproofing depends on various factors, including the type of foundation, the specific problem, and your budget. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer; each situation requires a tailored approach.
How long does interior waterproofing take?
The duration depends on the size of the project. On average, we can complete up to 160 feet of interior waterproofing per day with one crew.
Do I need a sump pump?
Yes, a sump pump is essential when waterproofing from the inside. Without it, water can build up and create hydrostatic pressure, potentially finding new pathways above the floor and causing damage to your basement.
