The ground in Greenville
How Does Greenville Soil Affect Basements?
All five points the USDA sampled inside Greenville are Cecil soil, a deep red clay. The county survey for Greenville County puts Cecil on about a third of the land, ahead of Pacolet, Hiwassee and Edneytown. The USDA rates the sample inside Greenville low for swelling and shrinking.
Cecil is a deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is red clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains well, and the USDA rates it low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Greenville, the survey maps Cecil series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 1.56 percent). Across Greenville County, it maps Cecil, Pacolet, Hiwassee and Edneytown series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Cecil.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Basement Waterproofing in Greenville?
A wet basement in Greenville almost always traces back to water pressure in the ground around the home. That pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, pushes moisture through tiny cracks, through porous block, and up through the seam where the wall meets the slab.
We start every project with an inspection to find where the water is actually entering, then explain what we see in plain terms before recommending anything.
Depending on the cause, the answer may be an interior drainage and sump system that manages water that reaches the wall, a basement vapor barrier that stops ground humidity, targeted crack repair that seals a specific leak, or a combination.
If the issue is simple humidity with no active water intrusion, we will tell you that too. The goal is a basement you can use, diagnosed and matched to the right system.
Warranty terms, with their conditions, are on our warranties page.

What Do Homeowners Say?
I needed my basement waterproofed due to Moisture behind my finished walls. Daniel came on time and was very thorough with his estimate of work including providing pictures of what I could expect with the project. Parker, Timmy, and Tavo did an excellent job with the two day project. They put up plastic to protect surrounding areas, communicated with me during the project, and were very professional throughout. Cory, who is the owner, stopped by at the beginning of the second day to make sure his team was meeting my expectations. I must say that this group have exceeded my expectations. While the project was very messy work, they cleaned everything up Amazingly well, and the work was done very professionally I highly recommend!
Justus Rowe did a fantastic job on a consult on our basement. He responded promptly to our call and was available to meet that day. He was very professional and easy to work with, highly recommended him.
