When water reaches your foundation from the outside, through poor grading, a failed membrane, or saturated soil, the fix belongs outside too, not just masked from the inside.

Four commitments that separate a properly trained exterior waterproofing crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
Certification covers grading assessment and rubberized membrane application to manufacturer spec, verified on every job.
Local crews understand your region's soil composition and typical frost depth, both of which affect excavation planning significantly.
No surprise charges for unexpected utility lines or rock encountered during excavation — those are flagged and discussed first.
Drainage board over the membrane channels water to the footing drain rather than letting pressure build against the wall.
We don't run a one-size-fits-all playbook — every exterior waterproofing job starts from these core service components, adapted to what your property actually needs.
Drainage board over the membrane channels water 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.
Older homes often have drains that have silted in or collapsed over decades — we assess and replace where compromised.
Soil sloping toward the foundation 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 wall — often the source of a leak that seemed to come from nowhere.
Cracks and cold joints exposed during excavation get treated directly from the outside before the membrane goes over them.
Four steps, start to finish — from your call to a backfilled, regraded foundation wall.
Photos of the affected area, texted ahead, help the technician plan equipment before arriving.
Technicians walk the full property perimeter before recommending excavation, checking grading and downspout placement.
Utility locates are scheduled ahead of excavation as standard practice.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
