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

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 distinct discipline requiring different technique and specialized equipment.
Initial exterior assessments, requiring a full perimeter walk, are typically scheduled within a few days across our service area.
Quotes break out excavation footage, membrane material, footing drain installation, and backfill separately in writing.
We apply rubberized asphalt or sheet membrane rated for permanent below-grade exposure, not a consumer coating that degrades in a season or two.
We don't run a one-size-fits-all playbook — every exterior waterproofing job starts from these core service components, adapted to what your property actually needs.
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.
A footing drain intercepts groundwater at the base of the foundation and carries it away before it can build pressure against the wall.
Soil sloping toward the foundation sends every rainfall straight at your basement wall, regardless of how good the membrane below is.
We install well drains tied into the footing drain system with a clear cover to reduce debris.
Sealing from the exterior addresses hydrostatic pressure at the point of entry rather than relying solely on interior injection.
Four steps, start to finish — from your call to a backfilled, regraded foundation wall.
Photos of the affected area, texted ahead, help the technician plan equipment before arriving.
Most Fenwick, MI exterior assessments are scheduled within a few days given the scope of a proper walk.
Utility locates are scheduled ahead of excavation as standard practice.
We document the completed system with photos before backfilling for your records.
