Stop Water Before It Damages Your Home

Professional waterproofing services that protect your Anna property from moisture intrusion and structural damage.

If you live in Anna and have noticed damp spots on your basement walls, musty odors in crawl spaces, or water seeping through foundation cracks after heavy rain, you need waterproofing that addresses the source of the problem. Water intrusion can compromise your foundation, rot wood framing, and create conditions where mold thrives, affecting both your home's structure and your indoor air quality.

Redline Construction And Building Maintenance provides waterproofing services that protect your home from water damage by sealing foundation walls, installing drainage systems, and applying barrier membranes where moisture enters. We work on basements, crawl spaces, and exterior foundation walls, using materials designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure and redirect water away from vulnerable areas. The process typically involves surface preparation, crack repair, membrane application, and drainage installation to ensure water stays outside where it belongs.

If your Anna home shows signs of moisture problems, contact us to schedule an assessment of your property's waterproofing needs.

How We Keep Water Out and Foundations Dry

When you schedule waterproofing in Anna, we start by inspecting your foundation for cracks, gaps, and areas where water has already entered or is likely to enter during storms. We evaluate grading around your home, check for standing water, and identify weak points in your foundation walls. Depending on what we find, we may apply hydraulic cement to seal cracks, install a sump pump system to manage groundwater, or coat walls with waterproof membranes that bond to masonry and prevent moisture migration.

After waterproofing is complete, you will notice that previously damp walls stay dry, musty odors disappear, and your basement or crawl space becomes a usable part of your home again. The space will feel less humid, and you will no longer see water stains or efflorescence on your foundation walls after rainfall.

We also install exterior drainage systems such as French drains when needed, which collect water before it reaches your foundation and direct it away from the structure. This work often involves excavation around the perimeter of your home, so timing and site access are considerations we discuss during the initial consultation. Waterproofing does not replace roof or gutter repairs, but it works alongside those systems to keep your home dry from the ground up.

Questions You Might Have About the Process

Homeowners often ask about how waterproofing works, what it involves, and how long it lasts, especially if they are dealing with water problems for the first time. Here are answers to the most common questions we hear.

What does waterproofing actually protect against?
Waterproofing protects your foundation and interior spaces from groundwater seepage, surface runoff, and hydrostatic pressure that forces moisture through concrete and masonry. It prevents structural damage, mold growth, and deterioration of building materials.
How long does a waterproofing system last?
A properly installed waterproofing system can last 10 to 20 years or more, depending on the materials used and the drainage conditions around your home. Routine maintenance such as checking sump pumps and clearing exterior drains helps extend the life of the system.
When should I consider waterproofing my home?
You should consider waterproofing if you see water stains on basement walls, notice pooling near your foundation after rain, smell mildew indoors, or plan to finish a basement. Waterproofing is also recommended before selling a home if moisture issues are present.
What is involved in exterior waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing involves excavating soil around your foundation, cleaning and repairing the foundation walls, applying a waterproof membrane or coating, and installing drainage systems such as perforated pipe and gravel to redirect water. This method addresses water before it contacts your foundation.
How do I know if I need interior or exterior waterproofing?
Interior waterproofing is often used when water is already entering through walls or floors and includes sealants, sump pumps, and drainage channels. Exterior waterproofing is more comprehensive and addresses the source of water before it reaches your foundation, but it requires excavation and is typically more involved.
