Protect your home and eliminate water damage with proven basement waterproofing solutions.
You get your space back. No more moving boxes every time rain’s in the forecast or avoiding the basement because of that smell. Your air quality improves throughout the house because moisture isn’t creeping up from below.
The constant worry disappears. You stop checking the basement after every storm and wondering if this is the time your foundation gets serious damage. Your belongings stay safe, and you can actually use that space for storage or even turn it into a livable area.
Property value goes up because buyers see a solved problem instead of a future hassle. You’re not just fixing water issues—you’re reclaiming part of your home and protecting your biggest investment.
Academy Masonry has been handling foundation and basement issues in Massachusetts for years. We understand how New England’s freeze-thaw cycles, old stone foundations, and heavy spring runoff create the ideal conditions for basement water problems.
Most Auburndale homes were constructed in an era when waterproofing was a gamble. We’ve seen every type of foundation issue this area throws at homeowners—from fieldstone foundations that shift with frost to concrete walls that develop cracks over decades.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in methods that work long-term, not temporary fixes that fail when you need them most.
We start with a thorough inspection to find exactly where water enters and why. This isn’t guesswork—we need to see the foundation, check grading, and understand your specific water patterns before recommending anything.
The solution depends on what we find but typically involves interior drainage systems, exterior excavation and sealing, or both. Interior systems capture water that gets through and direct it to a sump pump. Exterior work stops water before it reaches your foundation walls.
We handle permits, coordinate any excavation carefully around landscaping, and test everything before calling it complete. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why each step matters for keeping your basement dry long-term.

Professional basement waterproofing goes beyond slapping some sealant on walls. We address the root cause, whether that’s poor drainage, foundation cracks, or hydrostatic pressure pushing water through your walls.
Interior solutions include drainage systems, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers. Excavating, applying membranes, and properly backfilling with drainage material are all part of exterior work. We also address grading issues that cause water to flow toward your foundation rather than away from it.
In Auburndale’s clay soil and with our weather patterns, half-measures don’t work. You need systems designed for New England conditions—heavy spring runoff, freeze-thaw cycles, and the reality that old foundations weren’t built with modern waterproofing standards.
