BASEMENT WATERPROOFING / A CORE MODA SERVICEStart With the Water.
Start With the Water.
Then Make It Yours.
Water at the wall-floor seam, recurring dampness or an unreliable sump should be part of the first conversation. We offer basement waterproofing as a standalone service and as part of planning a finished lower level.
Understand the source before selecting a solution. Where work is needed, coordinate drainage, sump arrangements and wall treatments with the room layout before the finishes go in.
- Water-entry & moisture assessment
- Interior drainage & wall-treatment planning
- Sump systems, discharge & backup considerations
MODA BUILDING / Basement FinishingMake Downstairs
Make Downstairs
Feel Like Home.
Waterproofing and finishing belong in the same conversation. Moda Building starts with your basement’s moisture history and existing conditions, so any proposed water-management work can be considered before walls, floors or cabinetry cover the space.
Then we plan how you want to live downstairs: a welcoming lounge, private cinema, custom bar or space to work and recharge. Stairs, ceiling heights, columns, windows and mechanical access shape a layout that feels connected to the rest of your home.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWEREDDetails Worth
Details Worth
Talking Through.
Should I Waterproof Before Finishing?
Any known water entry or recurring dampness should be assessed before walls and flooring are covered. Waterproofing is a dedicated part of our basement offering.
Can You Waterproof Without Finishing?
Yes. You can discuss basement waterproofing as its own project, whether you want an unfinished basement assessed or are planning to renovate later. The appropriate scope depends on the source of the issue and your property.
Can You Work Around Existing Columns and Equipment?
The layout should account for structural elements and keep access to mechanical equipment. Feasibility depends on the property; structural changes require appropriate review.
Can the Basement Match the Rest of My Home?
Bring photos, materials and details you like from upstairs. Cabinetry, trim, lighting and flooring can be planned as part of a cohesive home.
Can I Add a Bathroom or Guest Room?
These may be possible depending on plumbing, ventilation, room dimensions and applicable requirements. Intended room use should be discussed early.
Do You Publish a Standard Price per Square Foot?
A single number can miss major scope differences. Bathrooms, custom bars, existing conditions and material choices all affect the investment, so we start with your space and priorities.
