Basement Waterproofing in Salt Lake City
Water intrusion in your basement can lead to extensive structural damage, health risks, and costly repairs if left unchecked. At Rhino Foundation Systems, we specialize in comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions tailored to your property’s specific needs. Whether you’re taking preventive measures or addressing existing damage, our waterproofing system ensures your home stays safe, dry, and protected.
Why Basement Waterproofing is Essential
Your basement is the foundation of your home, making it particularly vulnerable to water infiltration. Common issues caused by moisture include:
Foundation Damage
Prolonged exposure to water can weaken your foundation, causing cracks, settling, and structural instability.
Mold and Mildew Growth
Excess moisture creates the perfect environment for mold, which can spread throughout your home, compromising air quality and causing health problems such as allergies and respiratory issues.
Decreased Property Value
Persistent water issues can significantly lower your home’s market value, deterring potential buyers.
Increased Energy Costs
Damp conditions make it harder to regulate indoor temperatures, leading to higher heating and cooling expenses.
Basement waterproofing not only prevents these problems but also enhances your home’s longevity and safety, making it a wise investment for any homeowner.

Advanced Basement Waterproofing Methods
We offer industry-leading waterproofing solutions designed to protect your basement for years to come:
Interior Waterproofing Solutions
- Waterproof Sealants: These high-performance coatings prevent moisture from penetrating walls and floors, creating a protective barrier against leaks and dampness.
- Interior Drainage Systems: Installed beneath your foundation, these systems collect water and channel it to a sump pump, which efficiently removes it from your home. Interior solutions are ideal for addressing existing water issues without extensive excavation.
Exterior Waterproofing Solutions
- Sealants and Membranes: Applied to the exterior walls of your foundation, these materials form a durable shield against water infiltration.
- Exterior Drainage Systems: Designed for properties prone to flooding or heavy rainfall, these systems divert water away from your home using French drains, gravel layers, and other drainage mechanisms. This proactive approach is highly effective for homes in high-risk areas.
Sump Pump Systems
Sump pumps are essential for preventing water from pooling in your basement. Our systems are equipped with advanced technology, such as battery backups, to ensure continuous operation even during power outages.
Vapor Barriers
Vapor barriers are installed to reduce moisture levels and prevent water vapor from seeping into your basement. These are particularly effective for reducing humidity, which can contribute to mold and mildew growth.
Common Signs You Need Basement Waterproofing
Not sure if your basement needs waterproofing? Watch for these warning signs:
Persistent dampness or standing water.
Musty odors or visible mold growth.
White, chalky residue (efflorescence) on walls.
Cracks in foundation walls or floors.
Water stains or discoloration.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to act. The sooner you address water intrusion, the more effectively you can protect your home from long-term damage.

What They Say About Us
Chase and Casey visited our house, and we explained the flooding situation with our basement. They were insightful, thorough, helpful, honest, and recommended some cost-effective ways we could fix our problems. They didn’t try to upsell us or push us to something that wasn’t necessary. Definitely earned our trust!
If I could give 10 stars, I would. I wasn’t even sure that my old leaking basement could be fixed. But these guys not only fixed it but fixed it beautifully. They were professional, upfront, friendly, and responsive and treated me like a big client, even though I know my project was small for them. I’m so pleased. I recommend them to everyone I know.
We were very happy with Rhino Foundation Systems through this entire process. Everyone that we worked with was professional, honest, and took the time to answer all of our questions! We have already recommended RFS to our friend in need of basement waterproofing.
