Protect your home and health with proven basement waterproofing solutions that actually work.
You get your basement back. No more rushing downstairs after every storm to check for water. No more throwing away ruined holiday decorations or family photos.
The musty smell disappears. Your whole house feels fresher when moisture isn’t creeping up from below. You can actually use that space for storage, a workshop, or even turn it into livable square footage.
Your foundation stays strong. Water damage compounds over time, but a properly waterproofed basement protects your biggest investment. You avoid the stress of emergency repairs and the headache of dealing with insurance claims after flooding.
Academy Masonry has been solving basement water problems throughout Mattapan and the greater Boston area for years. We understand how New England weather hits older homes and what it takes to keep basements dry through heavy spring runoff and nor’easters.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re hiring us to fix the problem once, not to come back every few years when a quick patch fails. Our team focuses on permanent solutions using proven methods and quality materials.
Every job starts with an honest assessment of what’s causing your water issues. We explain what we find, what it’ll take to fix it, and what you can expect the work to cost before we start.
First, we identify where water is getting in. This means checking for foundation cracks, evaluating drainage around your home, and understanding how water moves around your property. Every basement is different, so cookie-cutter solutions don’t work.
Next, we address the root cause. Sometimes that’s exterior basement waterproofing to stop water before it reaches your foundation. Other times it’s interior waterproofing with drainage systems and sump pump installation. Often it’s a combination approach.
We seal foundation cracks properly, install drainage systems where needed, and apply foundation sealers that create a real barrier against moisture. The goal is comprehensive protection that handles both minor seepage and major water events.
You get a clear timeline upfront and regular updates as we work. Most jobs take a few days to complete, depending on the scope of waterproofing needed.

Our basement waterproofing covers both interior and exterior approaches. We handle foundation crack repair, install proper drainage systems, and apply waterproof sealant for basement walls that actually lasts.
For homes that need it, we install sump pumps and backup systems to handle heavy water intrusion. We also address grading issues that direct water toward your foundation instead of away from it.
Every project includes a thorough evaluation of your specific situation. Mattapan’s older housing stock often has unique challenges, from fieldstone foundations to inadequate original drainage. We’ve seen it all and know how to adapt our approach to what your home actually needs.
You get a warranty on our waterproofing work and guidance on maintaining your newly protected basement. We also provide emergency response for flooding situations, because water doesn’t wait for business hours.
