Local Waterproofing Specialists in Upper Darby
SMG Plastering INC provides professional waterproofing throughout Upper Darby, PA. Our crews work out of 830 Crum Creek Road, Media, PA 19063, so Upper Darby projects get an owner-supervised team that already knows the neighbourhoods, the building stock and the conditions that cause waterproofing problems here.
A wet basement is rarely one problem — it's a drainage system that stopped working. SMG Plastering INC waterproofs basements, crawlspaces and foundations across Media, Chester, Upper Darby and Delaware County using a diagnosis-first approach: we trace the water path from grading and gutters to footing drains before recommending a single product.
Upper Darby's rows of twins and porch-front brick homes in Drexel Hill, Highland Park and Stonehurst were built solidly, but their mortar joints, porch masonry and stucco parge coats are now well past their original service life. SMG Plastering INC repoints those walls, rebuilds porch piers and steps, repairs stucco parging, and repaints trim and porch ceilings across the township.
Every Upper Darby project begins with a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized proposal within 24 hours — covering preparation, materials, schedule and price with nothing hidden. For water, mold and storm emergencies in Upper Darby, PA, we answer 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
Waterproofing in Upper Darby — Questions, Answered
Should I waterproof my basement from the inside or the outside?
Exterior waterproofing addresses water before it reaches the wall and is the most complete fix, but it requires excavation. Interior systems manage water that has already entered and are less disruptive and less expensive. We recommend based on your water source, soil and budget — not a one-size-fits-all product.
How much does basement waterproofing cost in Delaware County?
Cost varies with linear footage, wall condition, and whether excavation or a sump system is needed. Targeted crack injection is a small job; a full perimeter system is a larger investment. Your free inspection produces an itemized number with no surprises.
Will waterproofing stop my basement humidity and musty smell?
Usually, yes — when it's paired with the right dehumidification and vapor barrier. If mold has already established itself, remediation must happen first, which our team also performs.
Do you work with landlords and property managers in Upper Darby?
Regularly. We provide itemized scopes, before-and-after documentation, and scheduling that works around tenants — including multi-property maintenance programs.
How much does repointing a twin home front elevation cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, joint depth and access. Front-only spot repointing is a modest project; full four-side work is a larger one. Your free inspection produces a firm number with no add-ons later.
