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.

My walkout basement in Clemmons leaks at the cove joint after every heavy rain. Is that a crack or something else?
That's usually not a crack. The cove joint is where the slab meets the wall, and it's a common leak point in poured basements on rolling lots here. Water builds up under the slab from hillside runoff and finds that seam. A simple seal won't fix it long term. We typically recommend an interior drain tile system that relieves the hydrostatic pressure before it reaches the joint. We'd confirm with a free inspection.
A storm just sent water into my basement off Lewisville-Clemmons Road. What should I do first?
Stay out of standing water if you can see outlets or the panel, and call us at (336) 666-2424. We prioritize active leaks. While you wait, move valuables off the floor and use towels or a wet vac if it's safe. Don't run a shop vac in deep water. We'll get someone out to assess and stop the intrusion.
How much does a typical basement waterproofing job cost in Clemmons?
Most interior drain tile systems for a standard Clemmons basement run between $2,500 and $6,000, depending on linear footage and access. A single crack injection is around $450 to $650. Sump pump replacement is $1,200 to $1,800. We give you a written estimate after the free inspection, so you know the number before we start.
Do I need a permit for foundation crack repair or an egress window in Clemmons?
Structural foundation repair and egress window cutting usually require a permit through the local building department, and rules vary. Sump discharge connections to the sanitary line also need review. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections. Call us at (336) 666-2424 and we'll tell you what applies to your address.
My neighbor's downspout dumps water right at our property line in Clemmons. Can you help with that?
We can't resolve a property line dispute, but we can protect your basement. If their runoff is contributing to water at your foundation, we can extend your downspouts, regrade your side, or install a French drain along the property line on your side. If your HOA has drainage rules, we can coordinate with them. Call us to walk the site.
Are you insured for work at my Clemmons home?
Yes. Winston-Salem Waterproofing is fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
What should I check on my Clemmons basement before spring storms?
Test your sump pump by pouring a bucket of water into the basin and watching the float. Check the discharge line for clogs or ice. Look for new efflorescence or damp spots on the walls. Make sure window wells are clear of leaves and that the liner isn't cracked. If you see anything off, call us at (336) 666-2424 for a free inspection before the heavy rain hits.

Our Basement Waterproofing Services in Winston-Salem

All your work handled by qualified professionals in Winston-Salem

Basement Waterproofing

We diagnose the actual water path first, then build the system that matches it.

Included in your service

  • Water path traced: hydrostatic pressure, wall seepage, or floor cracks
  • Interior drain tile, sump basin, wall treatment, and vapor barrier as needed
  • Honest call on what you need and what you do not
  • Transferable warranty on the system, terms set out in your written contract
Learn more→

Interior Drain Tile System

Perimeter drain tile at the footing, routed to a sump basin. Installed in any season.

Included in your service

  • Slab edge opened, perforated pipe laid in washed stone at the footing
  • Water captured before it reaches the floor, channeled to the sump basin
  • Works through winter, unlike exterior excavation
  • Concrete restored flush, basement left clean and usable
Learn more→

Exterior Basement Waterproofing

The most thorough fix there is: excavation to the footing, membrane, and new drains.

Included in your service

  • Excavation to the footing, foundation wall cleaned and repaired
  • Waterproof membrane and dimple board applied to the outside face
  • New footing drains bedded in stone and wrapped in filter fabric
  • Straight guidance on when exterior work earns its cost over an interior system
Learn more→

Foundation Waterproofing

Block, poured, and fieldstone foundations, each treated for how it actually fails.

Included in your service

  • Parging and crack repair matched to the wall construction
  • Membrane or crystalline treatment selected for the substrate
  • Drainage corrected so the treatment is not asked to hold back standing water
  • Period-appropriate approach for pre-1940 stone and block walls
Learn more→

Foundation Crack Repair

Epoxy bonds a structural crack, polyurethane seals a wet and moving one. We use the right one.

Included in your service

  • Crack graded first: cosmetic, actively weeping, or still moving
  • Injection ports set along the full depth of the crack
  • Epoxy injection where the wall needs structural bonding
  • Polyurethane injection where the crack is wet and needs to stay flexible
Learn more→

Sump Pump Installation & Replacement

A pump is only as good as the basin, the check valve, and where the water actually goes.

Included in your service

  • Zoeller and Liberty pumps sized to your pit and inflow
  • Sealed basin and check valve to stop backflow between cycles
  • Discharge line routed and freeze-protected for spring snowmelt
  • Old pump and debris removed, cycle tested before we leave
Learn more→

Bowing Wall Repair

Stop the movement without rebuilding the wall, in most cases.

Included in your service

  • Bow measured and monitored to establish how far the wall has moved
  • Carbon fiber straps bonded to the wall for lighter bows
  • Steel wall anchors where the bow needs active correction
  • The clay soil pressure driving it addressed, not just the wall braced
Learn more→

French Drain Installation

Intercept surface and groundwater before it ever reaches the foundation.

Included in your service

  • Trench graded to fall, gravel bed and perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric
  • Curtain drains placed uphill of the house where the water actually arrives
  • Outlet tied to daylight or to a pump basin, never left to pond
  • Grading and downspout extensions corrected as part of the job
Learn more→

Drain Tile Repair & Replacement

Many homes here still run on original clay tile that stopped draining decades ago.

Included in your service

  • Camera inspection to locate the collapse, blockage, or root intrusion
  • Targeted excavation rather than replacing the entire run
  • Modern PVC replacement bedded in washed stone
  • Flow tested end to end once the line is reconnected
Learn more→

Vapor Barrier Installation

Stop moisture migrating through block and concrete before you finish the space.

Included in your service

  • Heavy-duty wall and floor barrier sealed at seams and penetrations
  • Fitted around the drainage system so moisture is managed, not trapped behind it
  • The right prep step before framing a basement finish
  • Paired with drainage, because a barrier alone does not remove water
Learn more→

Basement Wall Sealing

Sealers fix minor dampness. They do not beat hydrostatic pressure, and we will tell you which you have.

Included in your service

  • Surface prepared and efflorescence removed down to sound masonry
  • Penetrating or membrane sealer chosen for the wall and the conditions
  • Plain diagnosis of whether sealing is genuinely enough for your basement
  • If the water table is the driver, we say so instead of selling you a coating
Learn more→

Battery Backup Sump Pumps

The power goes out during the storm, which is exactly when the pump matters most.

Included in your service

  • Backup pump and battery sized to your pit and expected inflow
  • Automatic changeover the moment the primary pump loses power
  • Audible alarm so a failure does not go unnoticed
  • Runtime explained honestly, and maintenance checks available
Learn more→

Free Basement Inspection

A written assessment with photos, and a straight answer if nothing is actually wrong.

Included in your service

  • Walls, floor, cracks, and sump system checked point by point
  • Exterior grading, downspouts, and window wells reviewed as water sources
  • Photos and a written explanation of what needs fixing now and what can wait
  • Free and no obligation, including when our answer is that you need nothing
Learn more→

Basement Mold Remediation

Removal paired with the moisture fix, because mold returns wherever the water does.

Included in your service

  • Containment set up before any affected material is disturbed
  • Affected surfaces treated and remediated, damaged materials removed
  • Musty smell traced back to the moisture source rather than masked
  • Drainage or dehumidification added so growth does not restart
Learn more→

Window Well Drainage & Repair

A well that fills becomes a bucket of water held against your foundation.

Included in your service

  • Well excavated and a drain tied into the footing drain or a stone bed
  • Liner set true and backfilled with free-draining stone
  • Clear cover fitted to keep out rain, leaves, and snow
  • A leak source homeowners rarely suspect and inspections often miss
Learn more→

Egress Window Installation

Code-compliant egress, cut and flashed so the new space stays dry.

Included in your service

  • Opening cut and framed to the required egress dimensions
  • Window flashed and sealed against the foundation wall
  • Well drained properly so the new opening is not a water entry point
  • Permit requirements confirmed with the local building department first
