When water is reaching your foundation from the outside — through poor grading, a failed membrane, or saturated soil — the fix belongs outside too, not just inside masking the symptom.

What "specialized" actually means for exterior waterproofing at our company — not a marketing word, a set of specific practices.
Certification covers grading assessment, drainage board installation, and rubberized membrane application to manufacturer spec.
Initial exterior assessments, which require walking the full property perimeter, are typically scheduled within a few days.
Pricing accounts for landscaping restoration where excavation disturbs existing beds or hardscape.
Footing drains are set in washed gravel and wrapped in filter fabric to resist silt clogging over the system's service life.
Each service below is scoped specifically to exterior waterproofing, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
Drainage board goes over the membrane to create a channel for water to travel down to the footing drain instead of pressing against the wall. This is the most thorough exterior fix available and typically carries the longest service life of any waterproofing method.
Older homes often have footing drains that have silted in or collapsed over decades — we assess existing drain condition and replace where compromised.
Soil that slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it sends every rainfall straight at your basement wall, regardless of how good the membrane below is.
Window wells without proper drainage collect and hold water against a vulnerable point in the foundation wall — often the source of a leak that seemed to come from nowhere.
Sealing from the exterior addresses hydrostatic pressure at the point of entry rather than relying solely on an interior injection to manage it after the fact.
Four steps, start to finish — from your call to a backfilled, regraded foundation wall.
Photos of the affected exterior area, texted ahead of the visit, help the technician plan equipment needs before arriving.
You'll get a text confirmation with an arrival window and any documents needed, like utility locate authorization.
A full grading and drainage evaluation identifies whether the fix needs full excavation, footing drain repair, or grading correction alone.
We document the completed system with photos before backfilling, so you have a record of exactly what's below grade.
