Annual Waterproofing System Maintenance
Keep Your Basement or Bunker Dry, Healthy, and Ready—All Year Long.
When it comes to your underground space—whether it’s a family basement, storm bunker, or safe shelter—keeping it dry and dependable isn’t optional. It’s essential.
At The Safe Shelter Basements, we specialize not only in building strong, watertight bunkers but also in maintaining and warranting them to stay that way—permanently.
You may find a company in Texas that will attempt to build a basement or bunker. We’re the only ones with the history, experience, and systems to keep it dry, and maintain it for life.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Even the best waterproofing system requires regular checkups. Over time, silt, sediment, and debris can collect in sump basins, float switches can stick, and pumps can lose power or efficiency. Without proper servicing, small issues can quickly turn into basement-flooding disasters—especially during Texas storms, flash floods, and tornado seasons.
Our Annual Maintenance Program is your insurance policy against basement failure. We don’t wait for problems to happen—we prevent them.
Our Comprehensive Waterproofing System Service Includes:
✅ Sump Pump Operation Check – Testing float switch, impeller, intake, and check valve
✅ Liner Cleaning – Removing silt and sediment from your sump basin
✅ Battery Backup Inspection – Testing and replacing backup batteries as needed
✅ Discharge Line Flush – Ensuring clear and functional drainage to prevent backups
✅ Alarm System Test – Replacing WaterWatch® or iBasement Controller batteries
✅ Humidity and Dehumidifier Check – Servicing dehumidifiers for maximum air quality and longevity
✅ System Performance Review – Inspecting for early signs of leaks or wear
✅ Full Basement or Bunker Walk-Through – Checking walls, floors, and joints for moisture or cracking
You’ll receive a detailed maintenance report and any recommended upgrades or repairs to keep your space in peak condition.

FAQ: Annual Basement & Bunker Maintenance
Q: Why do I need annual maintenance if my basement has never flooded?
A: Even the best waterproofing systems can fail without upkeep. Sediment buildup, stuck float switches, and weak batteries are silent problems that only appear when it’s too late. Annual service ensures your system stays reliable—storm after storm.
Q: What does the maintenance visit include?
A: Our certified technician inspects your sump pump, battery backup, discharge line, liner, and dehumidifier. We clean the system, replace batteries, test alarms, and check for any moisture or damage in your basement or bunker.
Q: How long does the service take?
A: Most visits take about 60–90 minutes, depending on your system’s size and configuration.
Q: Do you service systems installed by other companies?
A: Yes. Whether your system was installed by another contractor or builder, our experts can inspect, clean, and service most sump pumps, liners, and dehumidifiers to ensure lasting performance.
Q: What if I already have a generator or backup pump?
A: Even with a generator, a clogged discharge line or dead pump can cause flooding. Our maintenance ensures every component—including backups—runs correctly.
Q: How often should dehumidifiers be serviced?
A: Dehumidifiers should be professionally serviced once a year to clean coils, check filters, and maintain efficiency. This prevents humidity and mold growth in your basement or bunker.
Q: Do you offer service plans or memberships?
A: Yes! Our Annual Maintenance Membership provides discounted rates, automatic scheduling, and priority emergency response—so you’re always protected when storms hit.
Q: Can I upgrade my system during my maintenance visit?
A: Absolutely. Many homeowners choose to add battery backups, Wi-Fi controllers, or smart monitoring features like iBasement™ during their annual service for added protection.
