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.
Active pooling against the foundation moves to priority scheduling ahead of routine appointments.
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.
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.
We regrade the perimeter to direct water away from the structure and coordinate downspout extensions as part of a complete fix.
Window wells without proper drainage collect and hold water against a vulnerable point in the wall — often the source of a leak that seemed to come from nowhere.
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.
Most Lexington, OH exterior assessments are scheduled within a few days given the scope of a proper walk.
