Protect Your Home From Water Damage

Sealing & Waterproofing

Water can quietly damage a home over time—working its way through cracks, joints, and porous surfaces. SL Custom Construction provides sealing and waterproofing services in Victor, NY and throughout Monroe County to help protect basements, foundations, concrete surfaces, and masonry from moisture intrusion. Our team looks at where water is coming from, how it moves across your property, and what can be done to keep it away from key areas.

Whether you are seeing damp spots in your basement, cracks in your foundation, or surface damage on patios and driveways, we can recommend sealing and waterproofing solutions that fit your specific conditions and budget.

Call 585-704-1187 to schedule an on-site evaluation and sealing or waterproofing estimate.

Why Sealing & Waterproofing Matters

Unchecked moisture can lead to a range of problems inside and outside your home:

  • Cracked or spalling concrete
  • Efflorescence and staining on walls and floors
  • Musty odors and increased humidity
  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Deteriorating mortar joints and masonry
  • Damage to finishes, flooring, and stored items

Sealing and waterproofing are proactive steps that help manage water before it causes more serious structural or air quality issues. Our goal is to address both the immediate symptoms and the underlying causes wherever possible.

Concerned about water where it shouldn’t be?

Foundation Crack Repair & Wall Sealing

Small cracks in foundation walls can allow water to seep into basements and lower levels. Over time, that moisture can lead to staining, deteriorated finishes, and a damp environment.

Our foundation sealing services may include:

  • Cleaning and preparing cracks and joints
  • Filling and sealing cracks with appropriate repair materials
  • Applying waterproofing coatings or sealers to targeted areas
  • Recommending grading, drainage, or other measures if needed

We evaluate both the inside and outside conditions, when accessible, to determine where water is entering and what combination of repairs and sealing will best protect your home.

Seeing cracks or damp spots along your foundation?

Basement & Crawlspace Waterproofing

Basements and crawlspaces are often the first areas to show signs of water issues. Moisture can enter through walls, floors, and openings, or from high humidity and condensation.

Depending on your situation, our services may include:

  • Sealing wall and floor penetrations
  • Applying waterproofing coatings on interior foundation surfaces
  • Improving drainage at the base of walls and around the exterior
  • Recommending appropriate ventilation or dehumidification strategies
  • Coordinating with other trades for sump pumps or drainage systems when needed

Our aim is to reduce the amount of moisture entering the space and help create conditions that support dry, usable basements and crawlspaces.

Concrete Sealing for Patios, Driveways & Walkways

Concrete surfaces like patios, driveways, and walkways are exposed to weather, traffic, and freeze-thaw cycles. Sealing these surfaces can help reduce water penetration, minimize staining, and extend their service life.

We provide concrete sealing services for:

  • Driveways exposed to road salt and vehicle traffic
  • Patios and walkways around the home and yard
  • Pool decks and outdoor living areas
  • Garage and basement floors, as appropriate

Our team selects sealers suited to the use and exposure of each surface, and prepares the concrete properly so the sealer can adhere and perform as intended. This helps protect your investment in outdoor living areas and hardscaping.

Exterior Masonry & Chimney Sealing

Brick, stone, and other masonry are durable materials, but they are still vulnerable to water over time. Repeated wetting and freezing can break down mortar joints and lead to leaks.

Our services for exterior masonry and chimneys may include:

  • Sealing brick or stone surfaces with breathable masonry sealers
  • Addressing cracks, gaps, and deteriorated joints before sealing
  • Improving caps, crowns, and flashing where needed
  • Recommending ongoing maintenance to keep water out

By combining necessary repairs with appropriate sealing products, we help masonry shed water more effectively while maintaining its appearance.

Drainage Improvements & Water Management

In many cases, sealing and waterproofing are most effective when combined with better water management around the home. If water routinely collects near foundation walls, steps, patios, or driveways, redirects and drainage improvements may be part of the solution.

Based on your property, we may recommend:

  • Adjusting or improving grading so water flows away from the house
  • Adding or modifying downspout extensions and splash blocks
  • Installing drains in targeted areas to collect and move water
  • Coordinating with broader hardscaping or concrete work to guide water safely

Looking at the bigger picture helps reduce the amount of water your sealing and waterproofing systems need to handle in the first place.
