DENVER - s4story -- Van Matre Construction has launched an updated basement waterproofing page. The page reflects how the company actually works: it diagnoses where the water is coming from, then installs the system that stops it. Interior, exterior, or both, specified for the site rather than pulled off a menu.

Most homeowners find out the hard way. A finished basement smells musty after a wet spring, or water shows up along the wall-to-floor joint after snowmelt, and nobody knows how long it has been happening. Front Range expansive clay swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, and freeze-thaw adds to the load all winter. That movement opens the paths water uses to get in, and hydrostatic pressure does the rest.

Van Matre Construction starts at the source. Before anything is specified, the team traces where water is entering, how the site drains, and whether the structure is moving with it. That often means looking past the basement wall at drainage and grading conditions across the whole property.

"The drainage solutions we offer are the most ironclad, guaranteeable, and longest-lasting waterproofing solutions available," said Brady Van Matre, Founder and Owner.

The page details the company's basement waterproofing solutions:

• Exterior waterproofing: excavation to the footings, a dimpled drainage panel with geo-textile fabric, perforated pipe bedded in gravel, and a cast-iron sump pump
• Interior waterproofing: a perimeter drain beneath the slab with urethane and epoxy sealants and high-capacity pumps, for finished basements and tight lots
• Crack injection: flexible polyurethane to seal an active leak, rigid epoxy to reinforce the wall
• Concrete foundation repair: reinforcing compromised concrete and applying protective coatings
• Sump pump installation: correct pit sizing, discharge routing, and a secondary pump with backup power

Water is almost always part of the structural story on the Front Range, which is why the page also explains where waterproofing ends and foundation repair begins.
