Dry basements, protected foundations, and peace of mind during every storm season.
You walk downstairs after a heavy rain and find exactly what you left there. No water stains creeping up the walls. No musty smell hitting you halfway down the steps. No scrambling to move boxes or furniture away from puddles.
Your basement becomes actual usable space again. Storage that stays dry. Workshop areas you can count on. Maybe even finished living space that adds real value to your home.
The whole house feels different when moisture isn’t constantly seeping up from below. Your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently. That persistent humidity that made everything feel damp disappears. You stop worrying about what you’ll find after every storm.
Academy Masonry has been handling foundation and waterproofing work throughout Winchester and surrounding areas for years. We know how New England weather tests every basement, and we know what actually works long-term.
You’re not getting a sales pitch from someone who learned about waterproofing last month. Our crew has sealed foundations through decades of freeze-thaw cycles, spring floods, and everything else this climate dishes out.
We’re licensed, insured, and we pull proper permits. Most importantly, we show up when we say we will and do exactly what we promise.
First, we figure out exactly where water is getting in. Not just the obvious spots, but the hidden entry points that cause problems later. We inspect your foundation inside and out, check drainage patterns, and identify every potential issue.
Next comes the actual waterproofing work. This might mean interior basement sealing with high-grade sealants, exterior foundation waterproofing, or installing proper drainage systems. Sometimes it’s crack repair. Sometimes it’s comprehensive moisture control systems including sump pump installation.
We explain what we’re doing and why before we start. No surprises, no upselling once we’re halfway through. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs upfront. When we’re done, you get a warranty that actually means something.

Our basement waterproofing covers both interior and exterior approaches. Interior basement waterproofing includes crack sealing, wall treatments, and moisture barriers. Exterior waterproofing means proper foundation sealing and drainage systems that redirect water away from your house.
We handle flooded basement emergencies, but more importantly, we prevent them from happening again. That includes sump pump installation when needed, foundation drainage improvements, and comprehensive basement sealing that addresses the root causes.
Winchester’s soil conditions and weather patterns create specific challenges. Clay soil that doesn’t drain well. Freeze-thaw cycles that open new cracks every winter. Spring runoff that overwhelms inadequate drainage. We’ve dealt with all of it, and we know what solutions actually hold up over time.
