Waterproofing a basement in Provincetown
Provincetown sits at the very tip of the Cape, with historic houses close together on small lots between the harbor and the dunes.
Near the harbor and the dunes and in low areas, groundwater can rise after heavy rain. In Provincetown, we start with the outside, gutters and grading, and add an interior drain and a sump pump only where the water keeps coming in.
Provincetown houses sit close together, often with little room between the foundation and the lot line, so digging outside is hard and an interior drain is often the practical fix. Much of the center is on town sewer, and a sump pump must not drain into it, so the discharge line runs outside.
“Mussato Building Group has been a loyal and trusted partner of ours for over ten years and one hundred projects. Their professionalism and quality of work are second to none. We look forward to working with them far into the future.”
Waterproofing permits in Provincetown
We prepare the drawings, file the applications, and schedule the inspections. Here is what a project like this usually needs:
- Electrical permit for a new sump pump circuit, pulled by a licensed electrician.
- The Provincetown Conservation Commission review if digging is within 100 feet of a wetland, coastal bank, or the shore.
- Inspection to find where the water gets in
- Gutter, downspout, and grading fixes
- Foundation crack and pipe gap sealing
- Interior perimeter drains
- Sump pumps with battery backup
- Exterior waterproofing and footing drains
- Moisture control before finishing
- Permits where the work needs them

Can you waterproof a basement on a tight Provincetown lot?
Yes. Where there is no room to dig outside, an interior drain and a sump pump work from inside the basement.
