Your basement or crawl space is more than just storage — it’s part of your home’s foundation and one of the most valuable spaces you own.

At Healthy Way Waterproofing & Mold Remediation, we believe that annual maintenance is the key to long-term peace of mind and protection from costly water damage.

Why Your Waterproofing System Needs Regular Maintenance
Just like your car, HVAC system, or home generator, your sump pump and waterproofing components are made up of mechanical parts that work hard year-round. Over time, these systems experience normal wear and tear. Without regular inspection and tune-ups, even the best waterproofing systems can fail — often during the worst possible time: a heavy rainstorm.
That’s why we’ve built our reputation not only on installing industry-leading waterproofing and drainage systems, but also on standing behind our work through our Annual Maintenance Program.
Our goal is simple:
- Prevent small issues before they become emergencies.
- Ensure every component operates efficiently.
- Keep your basement or crawl space dry, healthy, and mold-free all year long.
What Our Annual Maintenance Includes
During your yearly service visit, a Certified Waterproofing Technician will thoroughly inspect your system from top to bottom.
Here’s what we check and why it matters:
- Sump Pump Performance:
We test, clean, and inspect your primary and backup sump pumps for debris, switch function, and proper operation.
- Battery Backup Systems:
We verify battery life, charging cycles, and connections to ensure the pump works even during power outages.
- Drainage Lines and Check Valves:
We clear and test lines for clogs or blockages that could lead to flooding or pump burnout.
- Basement and Crawl Space Conditions:
We evaluate humidity levels, grading, and signs of water intrusion around walls, window wells, and sub-floor drains.
- High-Water Alarms:
We test alarms and replace batteries if necessary to make sure you get early warnings before water becomes a problem.
- Mold Prevention Check:
We inspect for any developing moisture or mold concerns that could affect air quality and structural integrity.
When we leave, you’ll have a written report summarizing your system’s performance and any recommended upgrades or repairs.
The Cost of Skipping Maintenance
Waterproofing systems are designed to protect your investment — but only if they’re kept in working order. A small issue like a stuck float switch or a drained backup battery can cause major flooding, foundation cracks, or mold growth that can cost thousands to fix.
Regular maintenance not only helps prevent emergencies — it also extends the lifespan of your system and keeps your Healthy Way warranty valid.
