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.
Crews are trained in excavation depth, membrane application, and footing drain installation specific to exterior systems.
Initial exterior assessments, requiring a full perimeter walk, are typically scheduled within a few days across our service area.
Pricing accounts for landscaping restoration where excavation disturbs existing beds or hardscape.
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.
Drainage board over the membrane channels water 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.
Older homes often have drains that have silted in or collapsed over decades — we assess and replace where compromised.
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.
Here's what happens between your call and a completed exterior fix.
Photos of the affected area, texted ahead, help the technician plan equipment before arriving.
Technicians walk the full property perimeter before recommending excavation, checking grading and downspout placement.
Utility locates are scheduled ahead of excavation as standard practice.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
Real feedback from Gallant-area customers who called us for exterior waterproofing.
"They found our footing drain had completely collapsed after thirty years — explains why 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."
"They explained why interior injection alone wasn't going to solve our specific problem before recommending exterior work."
