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.
Crews are trained in excavation depth, membrane application, and footing drain installation specific to exterior systems.
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.
We apply rubberized asphalt or sheet membrane rated for permanent below-grade exposure, not a consumer coating that degrades in a season or two.
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, prep the surface, and apply a rubberized membrane rated for permanent below-grade exposure. 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.
We regrade the perimeter to direct water away from the structure and coordinate downspout extensions as part of a complete fix.
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.
Describe what you're seeing from outside — pooling water, visible staining on the wall, saturated soil — and dispatch routes a crew equipped for exterior assessment.
Most La Porte, IN exterior assessments are scheduled within a few days given the scope of a proper walk.
Pricing is itemized by excavation footage and membrane material, in writing before any digging begins.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
