Below Grade Waterproofing Services

Serving all of Los Angeles County, Ventura County & surrounding areas.

Thome Waterproofing Company provides comprehensive below-grade waterproofing services. Below-grade (below ground level) waterproofing should be used any time a wall is retaining earth. In addition to being crucial to the long-term integrity of the wall, waterproofing will help keep you and your possessions dry, and your walls free of efflorescence and algae. Whether the below-grade structure is a freestanding retaining wall or a critical foundation wall that abuts living space such as a subterranean garage, wine cellar, basement, crawlspace, etc., Thome Waterproofing provides the expertise and experience to assess and execute the proper waterproofing system to meet your needs.

Just as there are different types of paints for different surfaces and applications, there are different types of waterproofing systems to accommodate a variety of scenarios. Systems requirements vary depending on access, type of wall (C.M.U., Shotcrete, Poured In Place, etc.), and tie-in conditions. Proper evaluation and implementation of the right waterproofing system for your distinct needs require an experienced professional. Thome provides the know-how to get the job done.

For those considering our services prior to construction, bear in mind that fixing water leaks and the subsequent damage caused by them after a building is complete is much more expensive than preventing it by applying the appropriate waterproofing during construction. Money saved by using a low-cost waterproofing system today could result in an expensive repair and cleanup should a leak develop. Be wary of using initial cost as a means by which to choose a waterproofing system. Thome’s extensive knowledge of materials and systems ensures that you will get the best waterproofing system for your project at the best price—the first time around! Call or email today for a no-cost, no-obligation estimate for your new or existing below-grade project.
