Walls Waterproofing in Burlington, VT

Lasting Walls Waterproofing Solutions in Burlington, VT

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Burlington

Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space entirely with heavy-duty vapor barriers and often includes a dehumidifier. This not only waterproofs the walls but also controls humidity, stopping mold growth and wood rot in the crawl space. A long, cold heating season is the defining stress on Vermont plumbing, with months of freezing nights and repeated freeze and thaw cycles. An encapsulated crawl space can significantly improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency by keeping moisture from moving up into the home. We use tough, reinforced poly sheeting for walls and floors, sealed at all seams and penetrations.

Basement Wall Sealing in Burlington, VT

Basement wall sealing is a critical part of walls waterproofing. A long, cold heating season is the defining stress on Vermont plumbing, with months of freezing nights and repeated freeze and thaw cycles. We apply high-quality sealants to porous concrete and masonry walls to prevent moisture from wicking through and causing dampness, mold, or musty odors. This service can be performed alone or as part of a larger waterproofing system, offering a drier, healthier environment in your Burlington, VT basement.

Plumbing Leak Behind Walls in Burlington

A slow drip from a shower valve, supply stub or drain fitting can soak a wall for months before you notice. We locate the leak with moisture meters, thermal imaging and pressure tests. The damaged section of pipe or valve is replaced, and wet drywall is cut out and dried. Once the cavity is dry, we restore the wall and seal any wet-area surfaces.

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing in Burlington

Exterior foundation waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation to apply a waterproof membrane or coating directly to the wall. This is often the most reliable method for preventing water from entering the basement or crawl space. We use high-quality asphalt-modified polyurethane membranes or polymer-based coatings that resist hydrostatic pressure and soil movement. Rocky glacial soil and ledge are common across Vermont, which can make digging for water lines, sewer repairs or septic work slow and costly. Proper drainage solutions, such as French drains, are also added to divert water away.

Shower Pan Leak Repair and Waterproofing in Burlington, VT

A cracked or poorly sloped shower pan often causes wet baseboards and stained ceilings below. We test the pan by plugging the drain and flooding it to verify the leak. Then we rebuild the pan with correct pre-slope, a new liner or bonded membrane and a properly clamped drain. A second flood test proves the pan is watertight before tile.

Waterproofing for Older Homes in Burlington, VT

Older homes, especially those built before modern waterproofing standards, are particularly prone to water intrusion. Vermont has some of the oldest housing in the country, including farmhouses and village homes built well over a century ago. Many older foundations may lack adequate exterior drainage or proper sealing. We specialize in assessing and upgrading waterproofing systems for these properties, often combining exterior excavation with interior drainage solutions. We respect the existing structure while installing modern, effective waterproofing, with attention to the challenges of older brick and stone foundations.
