No. There are energy credits but waterproofing is just a personal expense that is not deductible. Save your records for someday when you sell the house.

In addition to the information provided by xmasbaby0, you should keep all of your renovation costs as home improvement to add to the basis of your home. If you decide to sell your property, these improvements will add to the basis and could reduce taxes.
