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.
We don't treat exterior work as a bigger version of interior injection — it's a different discipline requiring different equipment and technique.
Active water intrusion visible from outside — pooling against the foundation, saturated soil — moves to priority scheduling.
Pricing accounts for landscaping restoration where excavation disturbs existing beds or hardscape.
Drainage board installed over the membrane channels water down to the footing drain rather than letting hydrostatic pressure build against the wall.
Each service below is scoped specifically to exterior waterproofing, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
We excavate along the affected wall section down to the footing, clean and prep the existing foundation surface, and apply a rubberized waterproofing membrane rated for permanent below-grade exposure. This is the most thorough exterior fix available and typically carries the longest service life of any waterproofing method.
A footing drain intercepts groundwater at the base of the foundation and carries it away via gravity or a connected sump system before it can build pressure against the wall.
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.
We install window well drains tied into the footing drain system, plus a clear cover to reduce debris accumulation.
Cracks and cold joints exposed during excavation get treated directly at the source, 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 exterior area, texted ahead of the visit, help the technician plan equipment needs before arriving.
Technicians walk the full property perimeter before recommending excavation, checking grading, downspout placement, and existing drainage.
Utility locates are scheduled ahead of excavation as standard practice, not an afterthought.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
Real feedback from Jonesville-area customers who called us for exterior waterproofing.
"They found our footing drain had completely collapsed after thirty years — explains why the interior fixes never fully worked before."
"Regraded the whole side yard and extended our downspouts as part of the job. Haven't seen water against that wall since."
"Excavation crew was careful with our landscaping and put everything back better than it was before."
