Waterproofing

Exterior Waterproofing

Excavating to the footing allows the foundation wall to be cleaned, sealed and drained from the outside.

Warning signs

  • Persistent seepage through a specific wall
  • Damaged or missing original coating
  • Below-grade entry at a window well or stoop

What the inspection involves

  • Assess excavation access and utilities
  • Evaluate wall condition and existing coating
  • Review footing drain condition where visible

Possible approaches

  • Wall cleaning and membrane application
  • Drainage board and new footing drain
  • Backfill and grading correction

Scope limitations

Exterior work depends on access. Utilities, decks, driveways and lot lines can make interior methods the better fit.

What affects the price

  • Excavation depth and length
  • Access for equipment
  • Utility conflicts
  • Restoration of landscaping or hardscape
