Walls Waterproofing in Novato, CA

Proven Walls Waterproofing Solutions in Novato, CA

Crawl Space Vapor Barriers in Novato

Many homes in Novato have crawl spaces, which are very prone to moisture issues. Installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier on crawl space walls and floors is a key waterproofing strategy. This thick polyethylene sheeting stops ground moisture from evaporating into the crawl space, protecting subflooring and joists and improving indoor air quality. It's an affordable way to control humidity and prevent wood rot.

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing in Novato

Exterior foundation waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation to apply a waterproof membrane or coating directly to the wall. This is often the most reliable method for preventing water from entering the basement or crawl space. We use high-quality asphalt-modified polyurethane membranes or polymer-based coatings that resist hydrostatic pressure and soil movement. Earthquakes and hillside soil movement are real risks in Northern California, so flexible connections and seismic straps help protect plumbing from ground movement. Proper drainage solutions, such as French drains, are also integrated to divert water away.

Foundation Crack Repair & Sealing in Novato

Even minor cracks in foundation walls can allow serious water intrusion. Our services include crack repair using epoxy or polyurethane injection to seal these entry points permanently. This method fills the entire depth of the crack, restoring strength and preventing water penetration. We address both vertical and horizontal cracks, knowing that horizontal cracks can indicate structural issues that need a thorough assessment before sealing. Addressing these early prevents further water damage and costly future repairs.

Waterproofing for Older Homes in Novato, CA

Older homes, especially those built before modern waterproofing standards, are especially prone to water intrusion. Newer homes across Northern California mostly use PEX or copper with plastic drains, and many owners are repiping older houses to restore water pressure. Many older foundations may lack adequate exterior drainage or proper sealing. We specialize in assessing and upgrading waterproofing systems for these properties, often combining exterior excavation with interior drainage solutions. We take care to respect the existing structure while installing modern, effective waterproofing, with attention to the challenges of older brick and stone foundations.

Below-Grade and Basement Wall Waterproofing in Novato

Newer homes across Northern California mostly use PEX or copper with plastic drains, and many owners are repiping older houses to restore water pressure. Wherever a home has a basement or below-grade walls, heavy rain and snowmelt can push water through foundation walls and cracks. We seal cracks with injection products, apply interior or exterior waterproofing and install drainage where needed. A sump pump may be added if groundwater builds up.

Sump Pump Installation and Repair in Novato, CA

Sump pumps are a key part of many interior waterproofing systems, particularly in homes that see heavy rainfall. We install high-capacity sump pumps designed to handle large volumes of water, keeping your basement dry even during heavy storms. Our services include primary sump pump installation, battery backup sump pump systems for power outages, and routine maintenance or repair of existing units. We make sure the discharge line is routed correctly so water does not circulate back toward the foundation.

Shower Pan Leak Repair and Waterproofing in Novato, CA

A cracked or poorly sloped shower pan often causes wet baseboards and stained ceilings below. We test the pan by plugging the drain and flooding it to confirm the leak. Then we rebuild the pan with correct pre-slope, a new liner or bonded membrane and a properly clamped drain. A second flood test proves the pan is watertight before tile.
