Clemmons, you know how it goes: one good summer downpour and suddenly the basement you finished in 2005 is a wading pool. The brick homes off Lewisville-Clemmons Road and the walkout basements tucked into the hills near Tanglewood Park were built for living, not for the way Piedmont clay moves when it's wet.
When water starts finding its way in, homeowners in 27012 call Winston-Salem Waterproofing. We've seen what the rolling lots and old footing drains around Clemmons do after a storm, and we know how to fix it without turning your yard into a construction site.
Waterproofing Us in Clemmons (27012)
Clemmons is full of 1980s through 2010s brick homes with poured walkout basements stepping down rolling lots. That means hillside runoff, not just a high water table, is often the culprit. Water sheets down the grade, finds the joint where the slab meets the wall, and shows up as efflorescence or a wet seam after every big rain. The red clay over decomposed granite swells when wet and shrinks when dry, so foundation cracks open and close with the seasons. Window wells without liners fill with silt and funnel water straight to the wall. Old clay footing drains, common in the older parts of town, collapse or clog and back up. We look at the whole picture: grading, downspout extensions, window well drainage, and the drain tile system, before we recommend a fix.
Our team has worked Clemmons streets from the neighborhoods near Clemmons Elementary to the newer builds off Hampton Road. We know which hills drain where and how the freeze-thaw cycle in January can turn a hairline crack into a leak.

How a Job Works in Clemmons
Step 1: You call (336) 666-2424 and we set up a free basement inspection. We walk the interior and exterior, check the grade, look at the window wells, and test the sump pump if you have one. You get a straight answer about whether you need simple crack repair or a full interior drain tile system.
Step 2: If you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. In Clemmons, tight lot access is common, especially on the older streets near the Clemmons Village Center, so we plan where the mini-excavator goes and how we'll haul spoils before we start. If your HOA requires approval for exterior work, we provide the paperwork. Permits for structural repair or egress windows go through the local building department, and we handle that step.
Step 3: We clean up. Every day we leave the site broom-swept, and at the final walkthrough we show you what we did, how the sump pump runs, and what to watch for. We don't leave until you're satisfied.
Pricing in Clemmons depends on the job. Foundation crack repair starts at $450, which covers epoxy or polyurethane injection for a typical poured wall crack. Sump pump installation starts at $1,200, and a battery backup adds $900. Interior drain tile runs from $50 per linear foot, and exterior basement waterproofing from $95 per linear foot. Full basement waterproofing starts at $2,500, and foundation waterproofing at $3,500. French drains start at $25 per linear foot. The variables are access (a tight side yard costs more), the condition of the wall, and urgency. Call (336) 666-2424 for a free estimate.
