Vesta Foundation Solutions
Turning Cracks into Perfection with Expert Waterproofing Solutions

Sydney Blake, Vesta Foundation Solutions | Construction Business Review | Basement Waterproofing of the Year Sydney Blake, Owner
A home should be a place of comfort and security. Yet, for many homeowners, foundation issues and water damage are a constant source of worry. Heavy rains seep into basements, shifting soil causes cracks, and lingering moisture leads to mold—gradual problems that, if left unchecked, become costly over time.

This is where Vesta Foundation Solutions provides relief. Founded in 2017 by a husband-and-wife team with over 19 years of industry experience, the company was established after they recognized a need for reliable foundation and waterproofing services upon moving from the East Coast to Oklahoma. To address this, Vesta offers a suite of services, including foundation repair, basement waterproofing and wall stabilization, crawl space floor framing repair and moisture control, and concrete lifting and leveling. Through its skilled team, Vesta restores homes to strength, stability, and peace of mind—eliminating leaks, cracks, and concerns.

“Just as Vesta, the Roman goddess of home and hearth, represents protection and stability, Vesta Foundation Solutions is committed to safeguarding our customers’ homes. We focus on providing lasting strength and security for homeowners,” says Sydney Blake, owner of Vesta Foundation Solutions.

Today, the company has expanded to two locations in Oklahoma City, OK, and Springdale, AR, serving the entire state of Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. With 10 crews and 70 employees, it repairs 50 to 60 homes per week, delivering expert solutions.

Patching the Moisture Challenges

Many homeowners use their basements for extra storage or as garages, and some even finish them to add valuable square footage to their homes. However, over the years, Vesta’s team has seen firsthand how heavy rain leads to water accumulation along the foundation, seeping in where the basement wall meets the floor. Over time, this builds up hydrostatic pressure, disturbing the soil around the home. Water then follows the path of least resistance— downward—eventually seeping into the living space.

In some cases, after heavy storms, homeowners use a shop vac to remove standing water from an unfinished basement. Others notice a white, powdery substance—efflorescence— along their basement walls. This occurs when moisture travels through porous block walls, evaporates, and leaves behind salt deposits. For the Vesta team, this is a clear red flag that moisture is affecting the home’s foundation.

To counteract these issues, many homeowners turn to basement waterproofing. However, most assume this means digging around the foundation and applying exterior sealants. Through years of experience, Vesta has found that while this traditional method may seem effective, it is costly, disruptive, and often only a temporary fix.

Vesta takes a different approach. It installs WaterGuard, an interior water drainage system provided by Basement Systems, to collect and channel water before it penetrates the basement. As water migrates into basement walls or collects near the foundation, it enters the drainage channel and is prevented from reaching the basement floor or living area. The collected water is then directed into a sump pump, which effectively pushes it away from the foundation, keeping the basement dry and secure.

The company’s method focuses on controlling how water enters and exits, making the system both efficient and serviceable. To ensure long-lasting results, Vesta provides periodic maintenance services, including system testing, sump pump cleaning, and performance checks to prevent mishaps during heavy rain or poor weather.

It also employs dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels in both finished and unfinished basements, preventing mold growth. Additionally, the company offers wall protection systems to safeguard basement walls, especially for homeowners planning to finish their basements with drywall in the future. By offering a range of solutions tailored to each homeowner’s needs, Vesta ensures transparency through open inspections, allowing homeowners to explore their options and select the most suitable one.

The Human Element and Stories of Transformation

Customer satisfaction is the company’s top priority, and it begins long before a homeowner reaches out for help. Unlike other companies that rely on cold calls, Vesta takes an educational approach to marketing. Its marketing team, led by Ashley Herrera, connects with homeowners through TV advertisements, digital marketing, home shows, and community events. By engaging with the community and providing valuable knowledge, the company helps homeowners recognize warning signs early, equipping them with the tools to make informed decisions before costly damage occurs.

At Vesta, every team member plays a crucial role. Instead of traditional departments, the company refers to its teams as “gears,” symbolizing how each part of the business works together seamlessly to provide homeowners with a stress-free repair experience.


• Inspectors identify problems and conduct complimentary home assessments.
• Customer service representatives coordinate services and guide homeowners through the process.
• Highly skilled installation crews complete each job with precision and professionalism.
• Marketing and outreach staff focus on educating homeowners about foundation and waterproofing issues.


This high level of professionalism has led to numerous success stories. One particularly memorable project involved a homeowner whose daughter relied on a wheelchair. Their unfinished basement regularly flooded, delaying the installation of an elevator that would grant her access to the entire house.

The family turned to Vesta for a solution. The crew installed an interior drainage system and sump pump to keep the basement completely dry. This enabled the elevator company to proceed with the installation, providing their daughter with newfound independence and mobility in her own home. This success story highlights how foundation and waterproofing solutions go beyond structural integrity—they directly impact families’ daily lives, comfort, and security.

A Legacy of Strength and Trust

Unlike companies that diversify into unrelated services, Vesta remains committed to specializing in foundation repair, waterproofing, crawl space solutions, and concrete lifting. This ensures that every customer receives expert-level service and attention.

“There are millions of people in Oklahoma and Arkansas, and everyone deserves a home where they can sleep well at night and enjoy a healthy lifestyle,” says Blake, owner of Vesta Foundation Solutions.

Vesta offers some of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry. Homeowners can transfer warranties at no cost, ensuring that even if they sell their home, the next owner will continue to benefit from the company’s lasting solutions. With this commitment to quality and a reputation for excellence, the company continues to expand as Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas’ highest-rated foundation repair and waterproofing provider.

From preventing basement floods and foundation cracks to restoring stability and security, Vesta Foundation Solutions plays a crucial role in safeguarding homes.
