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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Photos of the affected area, texted ahead, help the technician plan equipment before arriving.
You'll get a text confirmation with an arrival window and any documents needed, like utility locate authorization.
Utility locates are scheduled ahead of excavation as standard practice.
Excavation sites are backfilled, compacted, and regraded to proper slope before the crew leaves, with landscaping restoration included.
What Montgomery, MI customers are saying after their exterior waterproofing service.
"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."
