Services
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions prevent groundwater intrusion by applying specialized coatings and installing drainage systems. We address both exterior and interior threats, ensuring long-term structural integrity. Clients benefit from reduced humidity, elimination of efflorescence, and prevention of costly water damage.
Foundation Repair
We restore compromised foundations using techniques like helical piers, I-beams, and dead-man anchors. Our approach stabilizes structures, correcting bowing walls and uneven floors while preventing future movement. Repairs preserve property value and safety for residential and commercial clients.
Crawlspace Conditioning
Our crawlspace conditioning services include encapsulation, dehumidification, and insulation replacement. By sealing these spaces and controlling moisture, we improve indoor air quality, prevent mold growth, and protect structural components from decay.
Helical Piers
Helical piers provide durable support for new and existing structures. Installed with minimal disruption, these deep foundation systems transfer structural loads to stable soil strata. Theyre ideal for challenging soil conditions and offer immediate load-bearing capacity.
Yard Drainage
We design and install comprehensive yard drainage systems using French drains, surface drains, and regrading. Our solutions eliminate standing water, prevent erosion, and ensure properties remain usable shortly after rainfall, protecting both landscaping and structures.

My wife and I recently bought a home in Durham and had a 30 day closing period. Although we did not use Lindsley waterproofing their prompt, thoughtful, and honest email response was much appreciated. Many other companies that I reached out to sought to charge me a few hundred dollars for an estimate but Jim and his team came to inspect for free. If we have any foundation issues in the future Lindsley will be our first call.

Lindsley Waterproofing recently completed a project at my home and did a great job. I received four different quotes for this project, and what stood out about Jim and his team was their thoroughness. They actually addressed the cause of the problem and didn't just propose to treat a symptom. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for water preventing and/or waterproofing solutions.

I have benefited since 2011 from the waterproofing and foundation stabilization performed by Lindsley Waterproofing. I was pleased that their work incorporated recommendations from a paid independent structural engineer. They presented me with a detailed proposal with easy to understand diagrams and materials to be used for my unique situation. I was very pleased that they had the expertise to install glass blocks into basement windows and cut a basement door to the yard.
My basement is free of water and mud. I have outside light with privacy coming into the area. The brickwork looks great and the foundation has been stabilized. Express your unique needs and concerns and rest assured that Lindsley Waterproofing will listen and return with viable options and long lasting solutions. Thank you, Lindsley Waterproofing

Back in 1999 we had flooding issues with our home's basement, our dream of a nice family room seemed impossible. Lindsley Waterproofing was recommended to us and after the work they did we cautiously waited through a couple of storms and finished out our basement. We have had no water problems since until a few weeks back and discovered a puddle in the floor after a hard storm. I called Lindsley's and within a couple of hours a representative came and our problem was a window that needed fixed.
Even though this was not a issue for Lindsley's to address the rep did a temporary fix on the window and recommended a window expert. I just feel that this was exceptional and beyond the scope of customer service that seems to be a thing of he pass. Thank you Lindsley Waterproofing for a great job and for continuing to amaze us. We have recommended you to all our friends and will continue to do so. We can't say enough about your excellent service. Sincerely, Kathy & Bob B

I was very pleased with the work that Lindsley Waterproofing did for me recently. They did demolition of an extensive old ground-level decking system surrounded by flower beds and other landscaping and then constructed a new somewhat redesigned deck. One of my biggest priorities going into the project was preservation of the plants and landscaping that immediately border most sides of the multi-part decking.
I was pleasantly impressed for several reasons. The work was done efficiently and in a timely manner. The workers were skilled, competent, and pleasant. The crew leader appropriately involved me when implementing my design changes and offered well thought out solutions. Thanks to the care taken by the crew, there was no resulting damage to plants and landscaping. Based on my experience, whatever your project might be, I am sure you would be pleased.

I have had Lindsley Waterproofing over three times. The first job effectively waterproofed a basement under a patio area. The second job was for installation of French drains across the front of my house. Six years later, when the walls of the basement began to leak, I learned that they have so many exceptions in their "25-year guarantee" that it wasn't worth the paper it was written on. At great expense to me, they recommended augmentation of the original job.
I agreed. Due to a combination of poor communication between the estimator and the scheduling people in the office, delays, inexperienced laborers, and recent rains, I now have to replace two walls in a downstairs room. Yet it appears that water is still coming in! Their response -- a shrug.
