Applied Waterproofing in Massachusetts and Rhode Island

Applied Waterproofing for Foundation Protection

Concrete and masonry walls are naturally porous, which means water can seep through over time; especially during heavy rain or snowmelt. Applied waterproofing creates a protective barrier over foundation walls, sealing out moisture before it has a chance to enter your basement.

Drycrete Waterproofing installs professional-grade spray-on and rolled-on coatings for homes throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Whether used on their own or as part of a larger system, these coatings help keep your foundation dry and your home protected.

What does applied Waterproofing do for Your Basement?

Applied waterproofing involves the use of specific materials that are designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure, adhere to your foundation walls, and provide a long-lasting protective coating. The benefits include:
Protection against Water Intrusion

Basements are prone to water intrusion, especially in areas with high water tables or heavy rainfall. Applied products create a barrier that helps prevent water from seeping through the foundation walls, keeping your basement dry and free from water damage.

Prevention of Mold and Mildew
Moisture in basements can create an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth. Applied waterproofing products help to control moisture levels, reducing the risk of mold and mildew formation. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing respiratory issues associated with mold exposure.
Preservation of Structural Integrity

Excessive moisture can deteriorate the structural integrity of your basement over time. Applied waterproofing products help to protect the foundation walls from water damage, including cracks, erosion, and weakening. By preventing water penetration, applied waterproofing preserves the strength and stability of your basement.

Long-Term Cost Savings
Investing in applied waterproofing products for your basement can save you money in the long run. By preventing water damage and the need for costly repairs, you can avoid potential expenses associated with structural repairs, mold remediation, or replacing damaged belongings.

Use Applied Waterproofing On Its Own or as Part of a Larger System

Applied waterproofing coatings can be used as a standalone solution or combined with other methods like sump pumps and interior French drains. When used together, these systems create multiple layers of protection to block moisture before it enters your basement.

As a standalone option, applied coatings are ideal for homes with moderate dampness, early signs of seepage, or for homeowners looking to take preventive action before water becomes a serious issue. They’re non-invasive, cost-effective, and can often be installed in a single visit.

High-Performance Waterproofing Products

At Drycrete, we rely on two trusted interior waterproofing coatings: Drylok Extreme and a crystalline waterproofing membrane. Both are designed to protect basement walls from water intrusion, but each offers different strengths depending on your needs.

Drylok Extreme:

Drylok Extreme is a high-performance masonry coating that resists up to 15 PSI of hydrostatic pressure. It’s ideal for interior basement walls where water seepage is a concern. This breathable formula allows moisture vapor to escape while keeping liquid water out, making it a dependable choice for finished and unfinished spaces alike.

Crystalline Waterproofing Membrane:

This cement-based coating penetrates deep into the concrete, forming crystals that block water pathways like pores and microcracks. As new cracks develop over time, the coating reactivates in the presence of moisture. It becomes self-healing to maintain a watertight seal. In addition to long-term protection, crystalline technology helps support the structural integrity of your foundation by strengthening the concrete from within.
