AquaStop WallSeal™ Basement Wall Vapor Barrier

Damp basement walls can lead to mold and pests, making this space in your home unfit for use and potentially damaging the structure of your house.

Simple fixes like wall sealants won’t work long-term. The best solution is a permanent vapor barrier. This is something we, at Matvey Foundation Repair, can provide.

Our AquaStop WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier guards against moisture getting into your basement walls. It helps to create a safer, drier space for homeowners in Western Washington.
