Atlanta Basement Waterproofing

The last thing you want to discover when heading downstairs is a wet basement. Georgia’s humid summers make basements especially vulnerable to moisture issues, leading to musty odors, pests, and water-damaged belongings. Even worse, leaks often return with heavy rain, creating an ongoing battle against dampness. That’s why basement waterproofing is essential—it seals out moisture and keeps your home dry, safe, and protected year-round.
Signs Your Atlanta Basement Isn’t Waterproof
For reliable results, you need experts who understand Georgia’s unique climate challenges. Every year, hundreds of homeowners trust AquaGuard Foundation Solutions for basement waterproofing in Atlanta. Our proven solutions provide long-term protection, ensuring your basement stays dry no matter the weather.
Musty Smell in Basement? You Need a Dehumidifier.
Noticing a lingering, unpleasant smell in your basement? That musty odor is likely caused by mold or mildew—both thrive in damp conditions. Water seeping through cracks in your foundation raises humidity levels, creating the perfect environment for mold growth. Installing a quality dehumidifier helps reduce moisture, but true basement waterproofing in Atlanta, GA requires a more comprehensive approach.
Basement Leaks? You Need Basement Gutters.
Persistent leaks often point to a failing drainage system. If your basement can’t handle heavy rainfall, water builds up and seeps inside. Our innovative BasementGutter™ system is designed to prevent this, offering a clog-resistant, interior drainage solution that keeps water moving away from your home.
Seeing Efflorescence? Install a Vapor Barrier.
Have you noticed white, chalky residue on your basement walls? That’s efflorescence—a telltale sign of water infiltration. As moisture evaporates, it leaves behind salt deposits, often signaling bigger issues like mold or lingering odors. A vapor barrier can help by preventing further water intrusion, effectively eliminating the source of your wet basement problems.
Water in Your Basement? Install a Sump Pump.
Mold growth doesn’t just damage walls—it spreads through your home’s air circulation system, embedding itself in carpets and furniture. Over time, this can pose serious health risks to your family. Moisture control is key to stopping mold before it takes hold, and basement waterproofing in Atlanta, GA ensures your basement remains a clean, dry, and safe space for years to come.

After months of hell attempting to work with a local small business to repair the crawlspace in my nearly 50 year old home, AquaGuard demonstrated why quality and integrity matter. Jim was extremely thorough with his inspection and took care to find a financing solution that worked with my budget and still managed to ensure that my home would be healthy and stable. Financing was a breeze. Joseph & Steven did a wonderful job converting my musty, molding, sagging crawlspace into an underground Taj Mahal. It's absolutely beautiful, and as a 6th generation baker, a stable kitchen is a requirement in any home I reside. Every person I had the pleasure of interacting with treated my home and little family with respect and care. Thank you for being the reminder I needed that there truly are good people in the world. AquaGuard has proven why they are clearly the best in the business.

Joseph P & Tristan Baxter showed up on time, were very polite, were extremely knowledgeable about the work to be done, walked me through the process of work to be performed. Complete the job quickly & cleanly. They actually covered air vents & tarpped off the surrounding areas to prevent dust from going all over the basement. When the job was completed, they walked me through the functions of the equipment and showed me exactly where all the equipment was installed, both inside & outside the home. The icing on the cake, was their genuine concern that I was satisfied with the work done and made themselves available for any additional questions & concerns I may have. These 2 young men were an absolute pleasure to have working in my home.

AquaGuard was fantastic from the first appointment all the way through installation and beyond. Will, the sales rep, did a great job of explaining my options with no pressure to make a decision. The crew – Stephen, Darrell, and Derrick – came out on a day that ended up having some torrential downpours and did a great job with an amazing attitude. That was no feat given that it was the day before a hurricane came through! Frankie, the installation manager, followed up to check on my satisfaction and was quick to send another crew out to address one fix needed because of the storm. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

Kurt & Joseph did an excellent job on the installation of the drainage system, pump, dehumidifier and encapsulation. Even before signing all the close out paperwork, I was able to tell the difference in the crawlspace area in how it was now sealed better than before. Both gentlemen were very courteous, professional, and transparent during the entire process, and I would not hesitate to hire these two individuals for any other work I'd have done at my house.

Mark C. was so helpful during today’s visit!! He took his time and answered my millions of questions patiently and informatively. He made suggestions on what work might need to be done in the future without ever making me feel oversold. He was at my house for over an hour, could tell I was anxious and wanted to make sure I understood everything, and made sure that when he left, I felt comfortable with next steps on how to best address any of my foundation concerns.

Basement Waterproofing 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.
