Basement waterproofing and crawl space services in La Grange, KY
The county seat with the train running down Main Street, old homes with cellars around the historic core and 1990s-to-now subdivisions on the rolling ground toward Currys Fork. La Grange basements come in every age.
Homes in La Grange
Cellars downtown, walkout basements in the subdivisions, and hills that drain toward the house
La Grange has two kinds of houses: the older homes around Main Street and the courthouse, many with stone or block cellars that were never meant to be dry living space, and the neighborhoods that have filled in along Highway 53, Highway 146 and out toward I-71 since the 1990s, where walkout and daylight basements on hillside lots are the norm.
Like much of the region around Louisville, the ground here holds a lot of clay. It drains slowly and keeps a foundation wet for days after a storm. In La Grange the common problems are seepage through old cellar walls, water on the buried uphill wall of walkout basements, and crawl spaces under additions. Interior drainage with a sealed sump handles most basements; exterior waterproofing and intercept drains where the buried wall itself is the problem; encapsulation for the crawl spaces.

4 weeks agoI would highly recommend Watertight Waterproofing. From the time the owner (Zack) gave me an estimate and explained all they were going to do to my crawl space, to completion, everything went flawless. The crews were great, very professional. Thanks again…
3 months agoThe guys were very professional and on top of their game! Everything was explained to me and all my questions were answered and left me with no doubt that they knew what they were doing. I have already given them as a recommendation to someone asking about…

Further reading
Can an old stone cellar in La Grange be made dry?
Yes. Old rubble and block walls cannot be sealed from inside like poured concrete, so we manage the water instead: a wall membrane and an interior drain to a sump keep the room dry while the wall does what old walls do.
Do you serve other Oldham County towns?
Yes. La Grange, Crestwood, Buckner, Pewee Valley, Goshen and Prospect on the Oldham side are inside our service area.
My walkout basement leaks on the uphill wall. Is that an exterior job?
Sometimes. If the yard allows access and that one wall is the whole problem, exterior waterproofing plus an intercept drain solves it for good. Often an interior system does it for less. We recommend based on the house, not the bigger ticket.
