Exterior excavation, waterproof membrane application, and drainage board installation that stops water at the foundation wall before it ever enters your home.
📞 Call for a Free InspectionInterior waterproofing manages water after it enters the foundation wall. Foundation waterproofing — applied to the exterior face of the foundation — stops water before it ever reaches the interior. It's the most thorough approach available and, in situations where the foundation itself has deteriorated or where a failed footing drain is the root cause of the problem, it's often the only approach that fully resolves the issue.
The process involves excavating the soil around the affected portion of the foundation down to the footing, cleaning and repairing the exterior wall surface, applying a waterproof membrane or rubberized coating, installing a drainage board to channel water downward, placing a drain tile at the footing to carry water away, and restoring the backfill. Done correctly, it provides decades of protection.
