Waterproofing Services
Water intrusion can quietly cause major damage to your home’s structure, air quality, and resale value. At Irish Frog Home Services, we offer comprehensive waterproofing solutions designed to prevent water from entering your basement, crawlspace, or foundation. From interior protection systems to exterior drainage improvements, we help homeowners stay dry and protected—no matter the weather.
Drain Tile Systems
Redirect Groundwater Before It Reaches Your Basement
Drain tile systems (also known as perimeter drain systems) are one of the most effective methods for basement waterproofing. Installed along the interior or exterior of your foundation, this piping system collects and redirects groundwater away from your home. Whether you’re dealing with surface runoff or a high water table, a properly installed drain tile system ensures that water drains safely instead of seeping into your basement.
Seepage Solutions
Stop Water from Entering Through Cracks and Walls
Water seepage often occurs through foundation cracks, porous concrete, or basement walls. We use a combination of crack sealing, waterproof coatings, and drainage systems to stop seepage at the source. Our experts assess the cause and customize a plan that seals out moisture and prevents mold, mildew, and long-term structural damage.
Hydrostatic Pressure Relief
Relieve the Pressure Building Beneath Your Foundation
Hydrostatic pressure happens when groundwater builds up beneath your foundation and pushes against basement walls or floors. This can lead to cracks, bowing walls, and leaks. We combat this by installing sump pump systems, drain tiles, and relieving trenches to reduce pressure and safely channel water away from your home’s foundation.
Sump Pump Installation
Your First Line of Defense Against Basement Flooding
A sump pump is essential for homes with water intrusion issues. We install high-quality sump pump systems in the lowest part of your basement to collect and discharge excess groundwater. Our systems include battery backups, sealed lids, and professional-grade pumps to ensure 24/7 protection—even during power outages.
Exterior Yard Drainage
Protect Your Home by Managing Surface Water Properly
Poor grading, pooling water, and downspout runoff can overwhelm your foundation and cause leaks. Our exterior drainage solutions include French drains, dry wells, swales, and regrading to redirect water away from your home. By addressing surface drainage issues, we prevent water from ever reaching your foundation in the first place.
