Basement Finishing FAQs
The process of waterproofing a basement starts with a comprehensive inspection to identify any signs of seepage. This includes looking for water coming from the bottom of the wall, around the baseboards and in the cove area where the wall and floor meet.
Stains on the wall, especially higher up, can indicate issues with the window well or cracks in the foundation. The outside of the building is also inspected to determine the source of water pressure, such as incorrectly-installed downspouts.
To waterproof your basement, the first step is to remove the drywall around the affected areas.
We then carefully jackhammer the floor to reach the bottom of the footer, where the house is stabilized. We grade the footer to ensure a 1-inch drop every 10 feet and install filters to prevent water infiltration. We add gravel around the pipe to keep mud from the pipe and filters, them install drainboards on the walls.
Finally, we apply concrete to the floor to complete the waterproofing process. This process typically takes up to 5 days for a space of 200 linear feet, but most basements in Maryland are around 100 linear feet.
Typically, after you sign the contract, there is a 5-day waiting period required by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC). This waiting period is in place in case you change your mind or need time to reconsider your decision. Once the 5 days have passed, work can begin on waterproofing your basement.
Waterproofing a basement from the inside is considered to be the better option. While the outside of the foundation may be waterproofed during the construction process, the soil can clog the waterproofing membrane, putting pressure against the wall and causing water to sit against the foundation and infiltrate the property.
By waterproofing the basement from the inside, we can catch water before it enters the property. We do this by installing a waterproofing system under the basement floor, which protects against water that is not visible.

It was necessary to have the basement waterproofed because any heavy rain would cause anxiety about the basement flooding.
We shopped around and Capstone Waterproofing Solutions was highly recommended. Service was outstanding. Since the work was completed this past weekend, as Mr. Jones said, I’m looking forward to some good rain and the comfort of knowing my basement won’t flood.
My neighbors have already contacted them.
