What We Do

Three Things.
Done Properly.

We do not spread ourselves thin. These are the jobs our crews and our machines are built for.

Waterproofing

Wet basements fixed from the outside in. We excavate to the footer, clean and seal the wall, install membrane and new drain tile, then backfill with stone so water leaves instead of sitting against your foundation.

  • Exterior excavation & membrane
  • New drain tile & stone backfill
  • Interior drainage & sump systems
  • Foundation crack repair
  • Downspout & discharge lines

Landscaping

Grading and hardscape that solve a problem, not just decorate one. We move water away from the house, hold back the slope that keeps sliding, and leave the yard graded, seeded and finished.

  • Grading & drainage correction
  • French drains & downspout burial
  • Retaining walls
  • Hardscape, patios & walkways
  • Sod, seed & full yard restoration

Demolition

Controlled tear-down and haul-away. Machines and operators that can work tight beside a house without wrecking it, and a site left clear and level when we pull out.

  • Garage & outbuilding removal
  • Interior tear-out & gutting
  • Concrete, patio & driveway removal
  • Excavation & site clearing
  • Debris hauling & disposal

Water 101

Why Basements Leak

A few things most homeowners are never told. Numbers you can check yourself.

930gallons

One inch of rain on a 1,500 sq ft roof drops about 930 gallons of water beside your house. All of it has to go somewhere.

6inches

Building code asks for the ground to fall at least 6 inches over the first 10 feet away from the wall. Most wet basements we see are flatter than that.

4–6feet

How far downspouts should carry water from the foundation. A splash block at the wall is just a slow leak with extra steps.

Outsidenot inside

Paint and coatings on the inside cannot hold back soil pressure. The repair that lasts happens on the outside of the wall, at the footer.

Sources: 1 inch of rain = 0.62 gallons per square foot · International Residential Code R401.3 (grading away from the foundation).

Israel is amazing and so are his men. He has done a lot of work for me over the years and I highly recommend his company, URAMZ. They are fast, clean, very reasonably priced and their work is perfect every time.

Why URAMZ

What You Actually
Get With Us.

URAMZ is a group of young, local people committed to serving our community and solving the problems homeowners face every day — honest work at a fair price.

01

We Fix The Cause

Anyone can paint a basement wall. We find out where the water is getting in and stop it there, so you are not calling somebody again next spring.

02

One Crew, Start To Finish

The same company digs it, fixes it, backfills it and restores the yard. No hand-offs, no finger pointing between trades.

03

We Restore The Site

Every trench we open gets closed, graded and seeded. We do not leave you with a fixed basement and a wrecked lawn.

04

Free Written Estimates

Line-by-line scope and price before anything starts. No pressure, and no number that changes once the machines arrive.

05

Licensed And Insured

Fully insured crews on every job. Certificates available on request before we break ground.

06

We Answer The Phone

Call and you get a person, not a queue. If water is coming in right now, tell us and we will move.

Problems We Solve

If It Were Easy,
You Would Have
Fixed It Already.

These are the calls we get after somebody else gave up, quoted a fortune, or "fixed" it twice and it came back.

  1. 01
    The Basement Floods Every Spring

    Interior patches keep failing because the water never stopped coming. We excavate outside, seal the wall and rebuild the drain line so the water leaves.

  2. 02
    Water Sits In The Yard And Never Drains

    Regrading, French drains and buried downspout lines routed to daylight, so water goes where you want it instead of into the house.

  3. 03
    The Foundation Wall Is Wet Or Cracked

    We open it up, repair the wall, and correct the backfill and drainage that put the pressure on it in the first place.

  4. 04
    An Old Garage Or Structure Has To Come Down

    Tight-access demolition next to the house, hauled away clean, with the pad and grade left ready for whatever is next.

  5. 05
    The Slope Keeps Sliding Toward The House

    Engineered retaining walls and regrading that hold the ground back and move the water away for good.

  6. 06
    Another Contractor Walked Off The Job

    We come in mid-project, document what is done, and finish it. No blame games, just a clear plan to the end.
