Permanent basement waterproofing solutions that actually work when Winthrop weather gets rough.
You’ll walk downstairs without worrying about what you might find. No more musty smells hitting you at the bottom of the steps. No more moving boxes around every time rain’s in the forecast.
Your basement becomes actual usable space again. Storage that stays dry. Air that doesn’t make you want to hold your breath. A foundation you can trust to protect your biggest investment.
When the next nor’easter rolls through Winthrop, you’ll sleep better knowing water stays where it belongs – outside your home. That peace of mind is worth everything, especially when you’ve dealt with the alternative.
Academy Masonry has been handling foundation and waterproofing work throughout Winthrop Town and the greater Boston area for years. We understand how coastal conditions, seasonal groundwater changes, and New England weather patterns affect your basement.
We’re not a franchise operation pushing one-size-fits-all systems. We’re local contractors who’ve seen every type of water problem Winthrop homes face, from minor seepage to major flooding events.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who know the difference between a quick fix and a permanent solution. We’ll tell you exactly what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what it takes to fix it right.
First, we figure out exactly where water’s getting in and why. Every basement is different, and cookie-cutter solutions don’t work. We look at your foundation, grading, drainage, and any existing waterproofing to understand the full picture.
Next, we address the root cause, not just the symptoms. This might mean interior drainage systems, exterior waterproofing, crack repair, or sump pump installation. Sometimes it’s a combination. We explain everything so you understand what’s happening and why.
Finally, we test our work and make sure you’re completely satisfied. You’ll know exactly how the system works, what to expect, and how to maintain it. No surprises, no confusion, just a dry basement that stays dry.

Our basement waterproofing covers both interior and exterior solutions. Interior work includes drainage systems, sump pump installation, and wall treatments that stop moisture from becoming a problem. Exterior waterproofing tackles the issue at the source with proper foundation sealing and drainage.
Crack repair is often part of the process, especially in Winthrop’s older homes where foundation settling creates entry points for water. We use proven methods that flex with your foundation rather than failing when the ground shifts.
We also handle the details that matter – proper grading recommendations, basement ventilation improvements, and moisture control systems that keep humidity levels where they should be. It’s comprehensive protection that addresses every way water tries to get into your basement.
