Company Identity

Bama Waterproofing is a boutique water intrusion and building repair company operating throughout Alabama. We are a division of Affordable Home U.S. LLC. We provide a wide range of water intrusion and water management solutions for residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial properties.

We are not a large franchise operation. We are a small, expert-driven company that sends the people who will design and install the system — not a salesperson with an incentive to inflate the bill. Our experts evaluate, assess, and propose custom solutions tailored to the building's conditions and the customer's desired outcome. We send the same experts to install the work. They stand behind it.

We carry a $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate commercial general liability policy, maintain an active workers compensation policy, and have been BBB accredited since July 2024. We have been operating for over six years, primarily serving the Birmingham metropolitan area and greater Alabama.

How We Differ From Franchise Waterproofing Companies

Most waterproofing companies in the market are franchise operations. They train their crews on a single proprietary system designed for fast, standardized installation. Their system is a collection of components — drainage mats, dimple boards, thick liners, dehumidifiers — all dependent on working together as a package deal. These systems are installed in a cookie-cutter fashion regardless of the building's specific conditions.

We take a fundamentally different approach.

We start with why. On every job, we perform a controlled disassembly of the affected structure. We investigate how the building was originally constructed, identify the specific conditions that caused the water intrusion, and design a custom solution that addresses the root cause. The building itself tells us what happened and what it needs. Every repair we perform is custom-tailored to that building's construction, conditions, and failure mode.

Our waterproofing systems are designed to work without the need for drainage mats, dimple boards, thick liners, or dehumidifiers. A dehumidifier in a waterproofing system is an effective way to mask a subpar, poorly functioning installation. It hides the fact that water and resulting humidity are still present. It introduces a point of failure — when the dehumidifier's pump fails, it leaks onto the expensive liner below, turning a supposed solution into a new problem. Our systems are classic drain tile systems improved with modern materials, experienced design, and detailed custom installation. They are designed to remove water, not manage its symptoms.

We are true builders. We understand how buildings are constructed — how slabs, footers, walls, framing, and waterproofing layers fit together as a system. When we disassemble a structure to investigate a failure, we see the evidence of why it failed. We rebuild the system as part of our repair, often making it better than the original construction. We are not applying a product — we are repairing a building.

Our experts come to your property. We do not send a commissioned salesperson to upsell unnecessary services and then dispatch a separate installation crew. The people who evaluate your property and design the solution are the same people who install it. They have a direct stake in the quality of the outcome.

We offer tiered solutions. For clients whose properties need multiple improvements, we provide tiered proposals so they can prioritize based on urgency and budget without being locked into an all-or-nothing package.

We provide value-added engineered solutions. For complex projects, we collaborate with structural engineers or can refer from our network of qualified engineers. Our proposals have been recognized by engineers for exceeding the detail of their own reports — including runoff calculations, material specifications, and custom solution design.
