Exterior waterproofing addresses the source directly: excavation, membrane application, and footing drainage designed to keep water away from the wall in the first place.

Four commitments that separate a properly trained exterior waterproofing crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
We don't treat exterior work as a bigger version of interior injection — it's a different discipline requiring different equipment and technique.
Local crews understand your region's soil composition and typical frost depth, both of which affect excavation planning.
No surprise charges for unexpected utility lines or rock encountered during excavation — those are flagged and discussed before proceeding.
We apply rubberized asphalt or sheet membrane systems rated for below-grade application, not a consumer-grade coating that degrades within a few seasons.
Each service below is scoped specifically to exterior waterproofing, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
Drainage board goes over the membrane to create a channel for water to travel 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 of any waterproofing method.
Older homes often have footing drains that have silted in or collapsed over decades — we assess existing drain condition and replace where compromised.
We regrade the perimeter to direct water away from the structure and coordinate downspout extensions as part of a complete exterior fix.
Window wells without proper drainage collect and hold water against a vulnerable point in the foundation wall — often the source of a leak that seemed to come from nowhere.
Cracks and cold joints exposed during excavation get treated directly at the source, from the outside, before the membrane goes over them.
Here's what happens between your call and a completed exterior fix.
Active pooling against the foundation is flagged for priority scheduling.
You'll get a text confirmation with an arrival window and any documents needed, like utility locate authorization.
A full grading and drainage evaluation identifies whether the fix needs full excavation, footing drain repair, or grading correction alone.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
What Dayton, WA customers are saying after their exterior waterproofing service.
"They found our footing drain had completely collapsed after thirty years — explains why the interior fixes never fully worked before."
