Why Interior Waterproofing Matters
Basement water problems often start below the surface. Hydrostatic pressure builds up around your foundation, pushing water through cracks, joints, and porous concrete. Left untreated, this moisture can lead to mold, mildew, structural damage, and air quality issues.
Interior waterproofing is a smart solution for homes where exterior excavation isn’t possible or practical. It’s also ideal for finished basements, where protecting walls and flooring is critical.
Our Proven Interior Waterproofing System
At G Shelley Basement Waterproofing, we don’t use shortcuts. Our interior waterproofing system is built on decades of experience and a commitment to quality. We use
4-inch ADS perforated piping,
Krakel-supplied sump pumps, and
high-grade materials that outperform traditional methods.
Interior Drain Tile Systems
What Is an Interior Drain Tile System?
An interior drain tile system is a network of perforated pipes installed beneath your basement floor, along the perimeter of the foundation. These pipes collect water that seeps in and direct it to a sump pump, which safely removes it from your home.
This system is designed to relieve pressure from rising groundwater and prevent water from entering your basement. It’s a permanent solution that works silently behind the scenes.
Our Installation Process
We start by carefully removing a section of your basement floor along the walls. Then, we dig a trench and lay down a bed of clean gravel. The perforated pipe is placed in the trench and connected to a sump basin. Once installed, we cover the system and restore your floor.
Our team works quickly and cleanly, minimizing disruption to your home. Most installations are completed in just a few days.
Benefits of Interior Drain Tile Systems
- Stops Water Intrusion: Prevents water from entering your basement through the floor or walls.
- Protects Finished Spaces: Ideal for basements with drywall, flooring, or living areas.
- Low Maintenance: Once installed, the system requires minimal upkeep.
- Long-Term Solution: Built to last with durable materials and expert craftsmanship.
Battery Backup Pump Installation
Why You Need a Backup Pump
Your sump pump is your basement’s lifeline. But what happens when the power goes out during a storm? Without electricity, your pump stops working—and water starts rising.
That’s where a
battery backup pump comes in. It activates automatically when your main pump fails, keeping your basement dry even in emergencies.
Our Battery Backup Systems
We install high-capacity battery backup pumps that are reliable, efficient, and built to handle heavy water flow. These systems are compatible with your existing sump pump and include:
- Automatic Activation
- Long Battery Life
- High Water Removal Rate
- Durable Construction
Our backup systems are sourced from trusted suppliers and tested for performance. We don’t use flimsy parts or low-grade batteries—only the best for your home.
Peace of Mind During Storms
Storms are unpredictable. Power outages can last hours. With a battery backup pump, you don’t have to worry. Your basement stays dry, your belongings stay safe, and your home stays protected.
