When water is reaching your foundation from the outside — through poor grading, a failed membrane, or saturated soil — the fix belongs outside too, not just inside masking the symptom.

Four commitments that separate a properly trained exterior waterproofing crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
Crews are trained in proper excavation depth, membrane application technique, and footing drain installation specific to exterior waterproofing systems.
Active water intrusion visible from outside — pooling against the foundation, saturated soil — moves to priority scheduling.
No surprise charges for unexpected utility lines or rock encountered during excavation — those are flagged and discussed before proceeding.
Drainage board installed over the membrane channels water down to the footing drain rather than letting hydrostatic pressure build against the wall.
Each service below is scoped specifically to exterior waterproofing, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
Drainage board goes over the membrane to create a channel for water to travel 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 of any waterproofing method.
Older homes often have footing drains that have silted in or collapsed over decades — we assess existing drain condition and replace where compromised.
Soil that slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it sends every rainfall straight at your basement wall, regardless of how good the membrane below is.
We install window well drains tied into the footing drain system, plus a clear cover to reduce debris accumulation.
Sealing from the exterior addresses hydrostatic pressure at the point of entry rather than relying solely on an interior injection to manage it after the fact.
Here's what happens between your call and a completed exterior fix.
Photos of the affected exterior area, texted ahead of the visit, help the technician plan equipment needs before arriving.
Most Mount Vernon, AL exterior assessments are scheduled within a few days given the scope of a proper perimeter evaluation.
A full grading and drainage evaluation identifies whether the fix needs full excavation, footing drain repair, or grading correction alone.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
