🛡️ Basement · Crawlspace · Foundation Waterproofing
A damp basement or crawl space only gets worse with time. Here is what happens under your home when water keeps getting in.
Water in the ground pushes through cracks and block faster than it can dry. Puddles form, the walls turn dark, and the air under your home gets damp.
Damp soaks into the wood, subfloor, and insulation. The wood swells, white stains show up on the walls, and a musty smell drifts upstairs.
Mold spreads on the wood beams. The floor above starts to sag and feel soft. Cracks get wider — and now you need costly structural repairs, not just waterproofing.
We find every spot water gets in, add drains to take the pressure off, send the water to a sump pump, and seal the space. It stays dry for good — not just until the next storm.

Water on the floor after a storm, damp walls, or puddles in the corners all point to one thing: water pushing in. We add interior drains and a sump pump that keep the floor dry for good.
Basement flooding helpOpen crawl spaces pull in ground moisture and damp air. That rots the wood and pushes musty air upstairs. We seal it with a heavy liner, add drainage, and run a dehumidifier.
Crawl space encapsulationCracks in concrete and block walls let water push in. We seal them from the inside. When needed, we dig down and waterproof the wall from outside too.

Call Now: (980) 277-3700Every job follows the same proven steps. Here is what our crew does at each stage — and why a lasting fix always starts with finding the real source.
Before we quote a price, we find the source. We check the foundation walls, slab, and crawl space inside, plus the slope and downspouts outside. Moisture meters and FLIR thermal imaging cameras show us exactly where water gets in, even behind finished walls and under insulation. A good fix starts here.
For most wet basements and crawl spaces, we put a drain along the base of the wall. It catches water before it reaches the floor and sends it to one spot. That takes the pressure off your walls.
The water flows to a sealed sump pit and gets pumped out, away from the house. We size the pump to your home and add a battery backup, so it keeps working when a storm knocks out the power.
In crawl spaces, we seal the floor and walls with a heavy liner, add insulation where needed, and run a dehumidifier. The space stays clean and dry — so no more damp air feeds the home above.
When water has to be stopped from outside, we dig down to the base of the wall, fix the cracks, and add a waterproof layer and drain board. Then we test the system and walk the finished work with you.
Every system is built for your home, and the inspection is always free.

We find exactly where water gets in and seal it — interior drains, sump pumps, crawl space sealing, and foundation waterproofing.
The right method depends on where the water comes from and how your home is built. Here are the three main systems we install — often together on the same home.
A drain along the base of the wall catches water and sends it to a sump pump. It is the most reliable, least messy fix for a wet basement — no digging, and it works with the water pressure instead of against it.
Common Sources
We dig down to the base of the wall, fix cracks, and add a waterproof layer and drain board on the outside. This stops water before it ever touches the wall — the strongest fix for leaking or bowing walls.
Common Sources
We seal the crawl space floor and walls with a heavy liner, add drainage and a sump pump where needed, and run a dehumidifier. The space stays dry — which protects the wood above, clears the musty air, and lowers energy bills.
Common Sources
Why this matters: Most water problems need more than one system working together — a drain to take the pressure off, a sump pump to remove the water, and sealing to keep it out. We look at the whole picture so you fix it once, not every spring.
Every home is different. Here are typical ranges to help you plan — not a quote. Your exact price comes after a free inspection.
| Foundation crack repair | $400–$1,500 per crack |
|---|---|
| Sump pump + battery backup | $1,200–$3,500 |
| Interior drainage system (full perimeter) | $4,000–$12,000 |
| Crawl space encapsulation | $3,000–$15,000 |
| Exterior waterproofing (excavation + membrane) | $8,000 and up |
These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your price depends on the size of the job, how the water gets in, and any mold or rot to clear first. You get a firm, written price after a free inspection. Financing is available.
Plenty of companies will sell you one sump pump or a coat of sealant and call it waterproofing. A real fix means finding the source, taking the pressure off, and standing behind the work. Carolina Pro Restoration installs complete systems and stands behind every one.

Rated 5 stars across 40+ reviews. From wet basements to full crawl space encapsulations, here is what people say about working with Carolina Pro Restoration.
Our crawlspace was a damp nightmare until Zach from Carolina Pro Restoration came out. He installed a vapor barrier that actually stayed put (unlike our last attempt), and even pointed out a few spots where moisture was sneaking in. Super knowledgeable and didn't upsell us on stuff we didn't need. Thank you!
I had another crawl space company do structural work under my house and doubted it was done right — my floors had begun to creak. I called Carolina Pro Restoration and they came out for no charge, inspected the work, and found the faults. They told me what needed to be done and put no pressure on me to use them. Very professional and knowledgeable.
It's hard nowadays to find a company that's honest and professional, but these guys showed up when they said they would, did great work, and did it with a smile. I can appreciate having someone at my home I can trust. Great experience all around.
