Walls Waterproofing in Kenner, LA

Dependable Walls Waterproofing Services in Kenner, LA

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing in Kenner

Exterior foundation waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation to apply a waterproof membrane or coating directly to the wall. This is often the most reliable method for preventing water from entering the basement or crawl space. We use high-quality asphalt-modified polyurethane membranes or polymer-based coatings that resist hydrostatic pressure and soil movement. Low-lying areas have a high water table and settling ground, which can cause sewer lines to sag, crack, or separate over time. Proper drainage solutions, such as French drains, are also integrated to divert water away.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Kenner

Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space entirely with heavy-duty vapor barriers and often includes a dehumidifier. This not only waterproofs the walls but also controls humidity, preventing mold growth and wood rot in the crawl space. Around Kenner, attic and crawlspace heat can accelerate wear on supply lines, drain pans, and any plastic piping in those spaces. An encapsulated crawl space can significantly improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency by keeping moisture from moving up into the home. We use durable, reinforced poly sheeting for walls and floors, sealed at all seams and penetrations.

Interior Walls Waterproofing in Kenner, LA

Interior walls waterproofing focuses on managing water that has already penetrated the foundation walls. This typically involves installing an interior drainage system, often called a French drain, along the perimeter of the basement floor. Water is collected and channeled to a sump pump, which then sends it safely away from the foundation. While not preventing water from entering the wall, it stops it from pooling inside your living space. This solution is less disruptive than exterior excavation and is suitable where exterior access is limited.

Laundry Room and Utility Wall Waterproofing in Kenner, LA

Washing machine hoses, utility sinks and water heaters can all leak into nearby walls. We replace burst-prone rubber hoses with braided stainless hoses and install leak pans and shutoff valves.

Drainage System Integration in Kenner, LA

Lasting walls waterproofing often requires a solid drainage system to divert water away from your foundation. This can include interior perimeter drains that channel water to a sump pump, or exterior French drains that collect surface water. Our team designs and installs custom drainage solutions for Kenner, LA properties, so water is managed well and moved away from your home's vulnerable areas.

Shower Wall Waterproofing in Kenner

Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own, so water reaches the backer board in every shower. If the walls were built without a proper membrane, moisture soaks into studs and drywall. We remove failing tile, install cement board or foam board and apply a membrane such as Schluter Kerdi, RedGard or Hydro Ban. Seams, corners and niches get extra reinforcement before new tile is set.

Waterproofing for Older Homes in Kenner, LA

Older homes, especially those built before modern waterproofing standards, are particularly prone to water intrusion. Homes from the late seventies through the mid nineties may contain gray polybutylene supply pipe, which is prone to failure. Many older foundations may lack adequate exterior drainage or proper sealing. We specialize in assessing and upgrading waterproofing systems for these properties, often combining exterior excavation with interior drainage solutions. We respect the existing structure while installing modern, effective waterproofing, with attention to the challenges of older brick and stone foundations.
