Protecting Your Foundation Starts Outside
Water around a foundation can contribute to damp basement walls, damaged masonry and recurring moisture problems. Correcting the source may require more than applying a coating inside the basement.
Depending on the property, our work may include excavation, wall preparation, exterior waterproofing membrane, protective drainage board, footing drains, drainage stone and careful backfilling. We evaluate the conditions first so the recommended work addresses the actual source of the problem.

Foundation Waterproofing FAQs
What are common signs of a foundation water problem?
Common warning signs include damp basement walls, water stains, peeling paint, white mineral deposits, musty odors, recurring leaks and visible deterioration of foundation masonry. An on-site evaluation can help identify where the water may be entering.
What does exterior foundation waterproofing include?
The work may include excavation, cleaning and preparing the foundation wall, repairing damaged areas, applying an exterior waterproofing membrane, installing protective drainage board, placing footing drains and drainage stone, and backfilling the excavated area.
Is exterior waterproofing different from an interior drainage system?
Yes. Exterior waterproofing is designed to manage water before it passes through the foundation wall. Interior drainage systems collect water after it enters or reaches the inside perimeter. The appropriate approach depends on the source of the moisture and the conditions around the property.
Can you repair damaged foundation walls during waterproofing?
In many cases, damaged concrete or block areas can be repaired while the exterior foundation wall is exposed. If we observe conditions that may require structural engineering, we will explain that before recommending additional construction work.
