Basement Waterproofing
Your home is your biggest investment, so you need to make sure you’re doing everything you can to protect it from harm. This includes taking care of your basement and preventing leaks. A&M SafeBasements knows that basement waterproofing is necessary for any South Bend, Fort Wayne, Plymouth, Warsaw, Auburn, or Marion homeowner. Understandably, many homeowners might not give much thought to this area, especially if it isn’t finished.
What happens inside your basement can greatly impact the rest of your home’s structural integrity and overall condition. However, it doesn’t matter how often you and your family venture into the space or what you use it for; you still need a basement waterproofing system. If not, your home is going to suffer the consequences.
Basement Water Problems
Why Does My Basement Leak?
Your home may have problems with leaks in the basement for a variety of reasons. Typically, most of the seepage that gets into this area comes in: over the top of the foundation, through leaking wall or floor cracks, through leaking basement windows with weak seals, up through a clogged floor drain, through the cove joint (where the wall and floor meet), or there could be moisture because of a plumbing problem.
Warning Signs of a Problem
As a homeowner, how can you tell if you have a moisture problem beneath your home? There are some obvious signs you can be on the lookout for. If you notice any of the following, you need to get in touch with us ASAP:
- Water on the walls
- Water leaking down from window wells
- Water on the floor (possibly in puddles)
- Mold growing on walls, floors, or on cardboard boxes
- A moldy odor coming from the basement

This system features a unique multi-flow drain tile system that can be installed along the perimeter of your basement.

Safe Track™ Water Evacuation System: This system is specially-engineered to provide a simple, non-invasive solution to water that leaks in through the block wall of a home. No digging is needed with this system, and it will be installed with a sump pump, which will direct the water out and away from your home.
Safe Drain™ Waterproofing System: This system features a lower profile and wider design to enable a thick layer of concrete to be installed over it without compromising the system’s effectiveness.
