A wet basement is the last thing you want to see when you head downstairs. Georgia’s humid summers can cause issues in your basement resulting in musty odors, pests, and ruined property—not to mention the frustration of leaks returning with heavy rain. Basement waterproofing will seal out moisture, keeping your home safe and dry.
Signs Your Atlanta Basement Isn’t Waterproof
- Musty smells in your home
- Leaking basement walls
- Efflorescence covering your walls
- Water in your basement
- Other water problems
You’ll need experienced professionals to help your home. Hundreds of Georgians trust AquaGuard Foundation Solutions to waterproof their basements each year. Our proprietary solutions have proven to provide long-term fixes for wet basements.
Musty Smell in Basement? You Need a Dehumidifier.
Do you have a nasty smell in your basement? It’s usually caused by mold or mildew resulting from a wet basement. The water that seeps in through cracks in your basement walls or foundation raises the humidity level and makes the perfect place for mold to grow. A dehumidifier will help by removing moisture from warm air.
Basement Leaks? You Need Basement Gutters.
Leaks in your basement can be caused by a drainage system that can’t support large amounts of water. Our BasementGutterâ„¢ provides an innovative solution as an interior drainage method that is guaranteed to never clog.
Seeing Efflorescence? Install a Vapor Barrier.
Efflorescence is the white powdery substance left after water leaks through your walls and evaporates leaving salt deposits. It’s especially common in brick walls. If you see efflorescence, it’s likely that there are other problems like odor or mold. A vapor barrier will keep water from leaking into your basement, effectively fixing your wet basement.
Water in Your Basement? Install a Sump Pump.
Discolored, speckled walls are a sign of mold in your basement. Mold not only ruins your drywall but can become airborne, infiltrating your carpets and air circulation system. This can pose a potential health risk to you and your household. Moisture control can help prevent mold from growing and taking over your basement.

Aaron, Chris and Jeremiah did an excellent job installing support piers at my house. They were polite, informative and cleaned the job site up before they left. The next day Shaun and Will did the poly renewal service on the driveway. They were polite and Shaun explained what he was doing. Cleaned up when they left. I give them a 5 star Google rating as well.

Kurt, Samarte, and Chris D did an excellent job, very professional. They kept us informed of everything that they were doing. Answered all of our questions ( we had a bunch ), and never once got irritated with us. I would recommend AquaGuard for all of your basement, crawl spaces, or gutter ( which we'll be getting ) services. If I could give more than a 5 star I would.

4 years and 9 months after installation, our pump failed. Aquaguard's representative, Scott Cunningham, arrived on time, advised me that the warranty was in effect for 3 more months and replaced the unit at no cost. Just as the original installation team, Scott was very professional and efficient in his assessment, offer of options, and service. Excellent product and service.

Kurt, Samarie, Travis and Noah completed a job for us which entailed waterproofing a crawlspace. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure we understood what they were doing and why they were doing it.

DEFINITELY a great team that works well together and works well with the customer. I highly recommend this company and this team for any water/foundation/exterior repairs you may have.

My driveway was cracking at the joints and beginning to show cracks on top of the cement which normally means there are voids underneath due to dirt slipping away. I decided to prevent further cracks and fill the joint cracks. The job was completed by two gentleman named Raymond and Paul who did a fantastic job. Very professional and knowledgeable about their work. If you need concrete repairs done, don't hesitate to call Batman and Robin 🤣. By the way, the pic was taken at night because I decided to post at night.

FAQS
Unfortunately, basement waterproofing issues will only worsen over time. If your external drainage system has already clogged, there’s no guarantee if or when that issue will become more severe due to heavy or extended rains. Therefore, if you spot any of the common signs or symptoms associated with basement moisture penetration, it’s definitely beneficial to schedule a free evaluation sooner than later. Your issue may be minor and therefore be less expensive to repair than major issues. We hope it is. You may have no issue at all, or it may just be a plumbing leak. If that’s the case, we’ll tell you that, too. No matter what, if you’re experiencing any kind of basement water problem, at least invite a professional out to take a look. Don’t wait for your issue to get worse to find out the problem is serious!
Although it is not always indicative of structural failure, the most tell-tale sign of structural damage due to basement water penetration is foundation wall cracks. Wall cracks can occur in multiple ways and often tell a definitive story about why and how they cracked. For instance, stair-step or vertical wall cracks often occur as a result of differential settlement. Differential settlement typically results from rainwater funneling underneath your foundation walls, washing out, and eroding the soil below, leaving voids. Void-laden soil simply cannot support the heavy foundation walls that sit atop it, and thus the walls will start to crack and shift or settle down into the void. Another common cause of foundation wall cracks is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure can push against your foundation walls, resulting in horizontal or diagonal wall cracks. Over time, these cracks will widen, and your walls may start to buckle, bow or shear. This is a major structural issue, as total wall collapse can occur if your walls are left untreated.
At AquaGuard, we use a combination of waterproofing solutions, offering the most complete basement waterproofing system. Basement drains, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and sump pumps work together to ensure you home is protected against every cause of basement water problems. Our patented BasementGutter system has waterproofed more linear feet of homeowners’ basements than any other residential waterproofing product in the world.
