Basement Waterproofing in San Francisco: local context

San Francisco has mild temperatures, a wet winter season, steep hills and real seismic exposure; many older homes sit on raised foundations with a ground-level garage.

Homes in San Francisco vary: some have full or walk-out basements, others sit on crawl spaces or slabs. Depending on the house, waterproofing can mean basement drainage and sump systems, crawl space moisture control and encapsulation, or yard drainage and grading.

Before you agree to a system, a San Francisco contractor should be able to show you where water is getting in and explain why their fix addresses it.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with California licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Where exactly is the water coming in, and how do you know?
  • What does the system include, and what is not included?
  • Is the warranty transferable if I sell the house?
  • Who pulls permits, if any are needed?
  • Can I see proof of insurance and any required license?
