Plumbing Leak Behind Walls in Winooski

A slow drip from a shower valve, supply stub or drain fitting can soak a wall for months before you notice. We find 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.

Crawl Space Vapor Barriers in Winooski

Many homes in Winooski have crawl spaces, which are very prone to moisture issues. Installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier on crawl space walls and floors is a key waterproofing strategy. This thick polyethylene sheeting stops ground moisture from evaporating into the crawl space, protecting subflooring and joists and improving indoor air quality. It's an affordable way to control humidity and prevent wood rot.

Basement Wall Sealing in Winooski, VT

Basement wall sealing is a key part of walls waterproofing. Heating systems, boilers and water heaters work hard through the winter, so annual service helps prevent breakdowns in the coldest weeks. 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 Winooski, VT basement.

Interior Walls Waterproofing in Winooski, VT

Interior walls waterproofing focuses on managing water that has already passed through the foundation walls. This typically involves installing an interior drainage system, often called a French drain, along the perimeter of the basement floor. Water is collected and channeled to a sump pump, which then sends it safely away from the foundation. While not preventing water from entering the wall, it stops it from pooling inside your living space. This solution is less disruptive than exterior excavation and is suitable where exterior access is limited.

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing in Winooski

Exterior foundation waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation to apply a waterproof membrane or coating directly to the wall. This is often the most effective 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 Winooski, 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 confirms the pan is watertight before tile.

Exterior Block Wall Waterproofing in Winooski, VT

Block and stem walls often show efflorescence, which is the white mineral crust left when water passes through masonry. Irrigation and sprinklers aimed at the house are frequent culprits. We adjust or reroute irrigation, clean the wall and apply a breathable masonry sealer or elastomeric coating. Proper grading and drip line placement help keep the wall dry.
