The Waterproofing Pros Basement Dig Out Process
Expand Your Living Space Safely with The Waterproofing Pros
Many New Jersey homes were built with shallow, low-ceiling basements that limit how you can use the space. A basement dig out is the process of carefully lowering the basement floor to create greater ceiling height, improved ventilation, and a more livable environment.
At The Waterproofing Pros, we specialize in basement dig outs that are not only precise and efficient but also safe for your foundation and fully waterproofed to protect your investment.
What Is a Basement Dig Out?
A basement dig out involves excavating soil beneath the existing floor and lowering the level of the basement. This creates more vertical space, allowing your basement to be converted into:
Additional bedrooms or living areas
Home gyms, offices, or entertainment spaces
Rental units or in-law suites (where permitted)
Dry storage with improved air circulation
Why Trust The Waterproofing Pros
While the concept sounds simple, dig deeper to create more space, the execution requires engineering expertise and waterproofing knowledge. Mistakes can compromise your foundation, reduce property value, and even create safety hazards.
Foundation Stability
Excavating incorrectly can weaken your foundation walls and footings. We ensure structural integrity at every stage.
Waterproofing Integration
Digging deeper exposes your basement to more groundwater. We incorporate our exclusive FloodBuster Pro draintile and other drainage measures during the dig out for long-term dryness.
Moisture & Mold Prevention
Without proper vapor barriers and waterproofing, new space can quickly become damp and unhealthy.
Code Compliance & Safety
Building codes in New Jersey require proper headroom, egress windows, and emergency exits. We handle every detail to keep your project compliant.
