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.
Certification covers grading assessment and rubberized membrane application to manufacturer spec, verified on every job.
Local crews understand your region's soil composition and typical frost depth, both of which affect excavation planning significantly.
Quotes break out excavation footage, membrane material, footing drain installation, and backfill separately in writing.
Drainage board over the membrane channels water to the footing drain rather than letting pressure build against the wall.
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.
We regrade the perimeter to direct water away from the structure and coordinate downspout extensions as part of a complete fix.
We install well drains tied into the footing drain system with a clear cover to reduce debris.
Cracks and cold joints exposed during excavation get treated directly 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 excavation, drain repair, or grading correction alone.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
Real feedback from Sale Creek-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."
