Can you waterproof a finished basement without tearing it out?

Usually yes. We remove only the lower portion of the finish needed for the drain, or work from the exterior when access allows.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump?

We strongly recommend it. Big storms and heavy snowmelt are exactly when power outages happen.

Do you offer free basement waterproofing estimates in Palisade?

Yes. Estimates in Palisade and throughout Mesa County are free and include an on-site inspection with a written, fixed-price scope of work.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Mesa County?

Yes. We are fully insured, pull permits with the Mesa County building department when required, and back our work with manufacturer and workmanship warranties.

Why Palisade homes need basement waterproofing

Mesa County is known for highly expansive Mancos shale clay. It swells dramatically under irrigation and spring moisture, then shrinks hard through the dry summer, lifting and dropping foundations year after year. Decades of flood irrigation across the Grand Valley make the cycle worse.

Orchard irrigation and a high water table near the river keep Palisade crawl spaces damp and foundations shifting.
