With Rocky Mountains to our West and the plains to our East, Colorado is a state with a varied climate. However, no matter where you live in Colorado, your home is at risk of flooding. Located in a semi-arid region, the state receives less rainfall than other areas of the country. When it does rain, however, it can often come down very hard and quickly. The soils in our state are also much less permeable than the soils in other areas of the country. When you combine these two factors, it makes homes susceptible to flooding.
Water intrusion and accumulation can lead to major problems for your home. A flooded basement isn’t the worst that can happen; you can end up having to repair your foundation because water damage can weaken the structural integrity of your home. Fortunately, the professionals at HomeStrong have waterproofing solutions to keep your basement, and foundation, dry.
At HomeStrong, we take a comprehensive approach to waterproofing and use both interior and exterior drains. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, but both can help you protect your home. Interior drains tend to be a more economical solution, and are often less invasive during the installation phase. Exterior drains allow you to attack moisture closer to the root of the problem on the exterior of the home, and can also help with issues like wall decay and soil expansion.
The important thing is that as an owner, you have the option to choose what is best for you and your home. Unlike our basement waterproofing competitors, at HomeStrong we do not push property owners to pick a solution based on what is best for or most profitable for the company. We truly want what is best for the homeowner and the structure itself. That’s why we offer comprehensive waterproofing solutions to every customer.
Our professionals can present you with your options and help you to choose the most efficient and effective methods for your specific needs. One of our most common interior solutions is our TopDrain system. The TopDrain system carries a lifetime transferrable warranty against water intrusion.

Interior and exterior drain installations are vital components of a comprehensive basement waterproofing strategy for residential or commercial structures. Interior drain systems, often referred to as French drains or perimeter drains, are installed within the basement or crawl space to redirect water away from the foundation. These systems typically consist of a perforated pipe installed beneath the floor, surrounded by gravel, and are designed to collect and channel water to a sump pump, preventing it from accumulating and causing damage.
Exterior drain installation involve the placement of drainage systems outside the building, typically around the foundation. This may include the installation of footing drains or exterior French drains to divert water away from the building, reducing the risk of soil saturation and potential foundation damage. Both interior and exterior drain installation play integral roles in preventing water intrusion, minimizing the risk of basement flooding, and preserving the structural integrity of the property.
