Waterproofing services in Tuscaloosa

Waterproofing is a loose word. Around Tuscaloosa it usually means one of two things: getting a damp crawl space dry and keeping it that way, or stopping water that comes into a basement. Both start outside, with where the rain goes.

Which one do you need?

You do not have to know before you call. A company that looks at the house should tell you what is causing the problem and which of these jobs answers it. Often it is two of them together, such as drainage first and a liner after.

If you would rather narrow it down yourself, match what you are seeing to the likely cause, then read how to choose a company.
