Our clients choose Interior waterproofing because it is cheaper, can be done any time of the year and is a good solution for those who want to get the benefits of waterproofing without large upfront investment, there are more reasons to choose internal waterproofing solution.

Accessibility - interior waterproofing can be done regardless of the property's surroundings or the current weather. Unlike exterior waterproofing, it doesn't require excavation or outdoor access, so you won't have to disrupt landscaping, decks, patios, or other outdoor structures.
-
Cost - usually, interior waterproofing can be less expensive than an external one due to the less invasive process. It does not involve any extensive excavation work, so labor costs tend to be lower.
-
Flexibility - interior waterproofing can be done in stages, which allows you to spread the costs over time. You can handle one room or area at a time instead of taking on the entire basement at once.
-
Long-Term Solution - by installing an interior drainage system, you can manage water that gets into your basement by directing it to a sump pump and out of your home. This provides a long-term solution for keeping your basement dry.
-
Year-Round Implementation - unlike with exterior waterproofing, interior waterproofing can be done at any time of the year, regardless of outdoor conditions, be it winter season or pouring rain outside.
However, the best approach often depends on the specific situation of your home. In some cases, using a combination of both interior and exterior waterproofing may offer the most comprehensive protection against water damage.
