Water on the floor again?

Wet or leaking basement

When the soil around your house is soaked, the water presses against the foundation and looks for a way in. It finds the cracks, and the joint where the wall meets the floor. We've waterproofed more than 25,000 Western Pennsylvania basements, and the fix starts with finding where yours is getting in.

Why basements leak

Water in the soil pushes against your foundation, especially after heavy rain or snowmelt. Poor drainage around the house adds to it, and over time the water works through cracks in the wall and the joint where the wall meets the floor.

Warning signs

  • White, chalky powder on the walls (efflorescence)
  • Cracks in the walls or floor
  • Peeling paint
  • Soft or rotting wood
  • A musty smell
  • Rust on metal near the floor

How we fix it

What Champion does about it

  1. We find where the water is really coming in, at the walls, the floor joint or the drainage.
  2. We install systems that divert water away from your foundation, including interior drainage.
  3. We seal the cracks and joints where it gets in.
  4. We repair and replace sump pumps, so the water has somewhere to go.

Every system carries our transferable lifetime warranty. If you sell the house, it goes with it.

Questions about wet or leaking basement

Why does my basement leak after heavy rain?

When the ground around your house is soaked, the water in the soil presses against the foundation and looks for a way in. It usually finds one at cracks in the wall or at the joint where the wall meets the floor. Poor drainage around the house makes it worse.

What is the white powder on my basement walls?

It's called efflorescence: minerals left behind when water soaks through the block and evaporates. It means water is moving through the wall, even if you've never seen a puddle.

How do you stop the water?

We install systems that divert water away from the foundation and seal the cracks and joints where it gets in. Which system depends on where the water is coming from, which is what the free inspection finds out.

Can you fix my sump pump?

Yes. We repair and replace sump pumps. One customer wrote that our tech replaced his main sump pump “in a short amount of time and made sure that it was perfect.”
