Our step-by-step waterproofing process

Waterproofing your basement is a carefully planned journey, especially when dealing with leaks. We’re here to walk you through our straightforward, reliable process, ensuring your basement stays dry and secure. Here's how we do it, step by step—no surprises.
*NOTE* The above is an example of a typical exterior project but this is not always the case. Sometimes we do not have access for a machine to do the digging or we cannot pile the dirt directly beside the hole so the need for hand digging and dirt relocation must be performed. This will be discussed during our initial consultation so you are informed before committing to anything we decide to do together.

Exterior basement waterproofing & your foundation type

Foundation type plays a big part in the overall price you’re going to pay to get everything sealed up so it doesn’t leak anymore. The description noted above is fairly typical when you apply it to a poured concrete foundation and in most cases a concrete block foundation. It’s quite common to find additional issues with block foundations that we cover in the block foundation repair section of our website. Sometimes these issues are hidden because the basement is finished and are undetected until the exterior has been excavated.

Stone or rubble foundations usually require additional work before they can be successfully waterproofed from the exterior side. Most times the extra work involved is well worth it as it restores the integrity of the foundation and ensures the structure remains sound for another lifetime when done properly.
