Waterproofing Services in Vail, CO

Shield Your Project from Water Damage

Whether you’re a homeowner safeguarding your basement or a builder specifying a moisture-tight foundation, our waterproofing expertise keeps mountain projects dry, healthy and durable. At InsulVail, we combine 25+ years of high-altitude know-how with best-in-class materials to stop leaks before they start.

Why Waterproofing Matters in the Rockies

• Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Repeated freezing and thawing drives water into cracks, then expands them.
• Heavy Snowmelt: Rapid spring runoff puts immense hydrostatic pressure on foundations.
• Steep Grades & Soil Movement: Mountain soils shift, opening pathways for moisture.

A proactive waterproofing system preserves structural integrity, prevents mold and protects finishes, saving you costly repairs down the road.
