Waterproofing

Living along the Gulf means two things are nearly guaranteed — heavy rain and high humidity. Down here, that moisture likes to sneak into places it doesn’t belong, especially below grade around basements, crawl spaces, and foundations. If your foundation isn’t protected, water intrusion can lead to mold, musty odors, crumbling concrete, and even structural issues over time.

At Resurrection Waterproofing, we bring those tired, water-stained walls back to life and make sure they stay dry for the long haul. Of course, for best results, we also serve above & below-grade waterproofing needs before the dirt ever goes back against the foundation. For new builds along the Gulf Coast, we highly recommend proper moisture control from day one.

Below-Grade Waterproofing:

Waterproofing isn’t just a coating — it’s a full system designed to handle:

✔ High groundwater levels

✔ Saturated soils after storms

✔ Wind-driven rain

✔ Constant Gulf humidity

A properly waterproofed foundation will have:

A clean, dry interior with no staining
A waterproof membrane or barrier system
Drainage components that manage groundwater
Protection against hydrostatic pressure
Sealed insulation and framing that stay dry

What Below-Grade Water Damage Looks Like:

When there’s no proper waterproofing system in place, you’ll see things like:

Dark stains and mildew on block or concrete walls
Wet or moldy insulation
Musty, unpleasant smells
Efflorescence (white chalky mineral deposits)
Pooled water, damp floors, or wet carpet
Soft or crumbling masonry

Waterproofing During New Construction

The best time to waterproof below-grade areas is before the dirt ever goes back against the foundation. For new builds along the Gulf Coast, we highly recommend proper moisture control from day one.

Here’s why:

Soil around the Gulf often drains slowly
Seasonal storms can dump inches of rain in hours
Water tables can be naturally higher near the coast
Clay and sandy soils can trap moisture against concrete
When builders skip or rush waterproofing, it can cost homeowners thousands later — especially once walls are finished and mechanical systems are in place.

What We Install During Construction

On new projects, Resurrection Waterproofing installs:

✔ Below-grade waterproof membranes

✔ Protective drainage boards

✔ Foundation coatings & sealants

✔ Barriers & sealants at slab level

This helps the structure stand up to decades of Gulf Coast storms, flooding, humidity, and saturated ground conditions.
