Exterior waterproofing addresses water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches your foundation walls. We excavate around your foundation, apply waterproofing membranes, and install drainage systems for permanent protection.
Exterior waterproofing is the most comprehensive solution for severe water intrusion problems, it stops water from reaching your foundation rather than managing it after it enters.
Exterior waterproofing is the most thorough approach because it addresses the problem at its origin. By applying a waterproofing membrane directly to the exterior foundation wall, we create a complete barrier that prevents water from ever penetrating your home.
Because exterior work requires excavation, it represents a larger investment than interior solutions. We'll honestly assess whether exterior waterproofing is necessary for your situation or whether interior solutions would be equally effective.
Exterior waterproofing is typically recommended for severe water intrusion, newly constructed homes with failed original waterproofing, or when the exterior drainage system needs complete replacement. We'll honestly advise whether interior solutions would work equally well.
Exterior waterproofing projects typically take 3β7 days depending on basement perimeter size and site conditions. Weather and soil conditions also affect the timeline.
Exterior waterproofing stops water at the source, while interior systems manage water after entry. Both are effective, the best solution depends on your specific situation. We'll recommend the most appropriate approach during your free assessment.
Excavation does disturb landscaping adjacent to the foundation. We work carefully to minimize damage and discuss the scope of work with you before beginning. Landscaping restoration is discussed during the estimate.
