Comprehensive Exterior Waterproofing Service Solutions

Each service below is scoped specifically to exterior waterproofing, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.

Foundation Excavation & Membrane Application

Drainage board over the membrane channels water 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.

Footing Drain Installation & Repair

A footing drain intercepts groundwater at the base of the foundation and carries it away before it can build pressure against the wall.

Grading & Drainage Correction

We regrade the perimeter to direct water away from the structure and coordinate downspout extensions as part of a complete fix.

Window Well Drainage Systems

We install well drains tied into the footing drain system with a clear cover to reduce debris.

Exterior Crack & Joint Sealing

Cracks and cold joints exposed during excavation get treated directly from the outside before the membrane goes over them.

Frequently Asked Questions

High-intent questions we hear most often about exterior waterproofing in Columbus, OH.

How quickly can a crew start an exterior assessment in Columbus, OH?+
Response time depends on the assessment scope needed, but active water intrusion moves up the schedule.
Do you provide upfront, flat-rate pricing?+
Unexpected findings like rock or utility lines are flagged and discussed before proceeding, never billed as a surprise.
Why would I need exterior work if interior injection already stopped the leak?+
Some situations genuinely only need interior work; we'll tell you honestly whether yours calls for exterior excavation.
How long does exterior waterproofing take?+
Timeline depends on wall section length and excavation depth, but most single-section jobs complete within a few days including backfill.
Will excavation damage my landscaping?+
Significant landscape features are discussed during the quote so there are no surprises.
Is exterior waterproofing covered by a warranty?+
Warranty terms are included in your written quote before excavation begins.
Do you need to remove my patio or deck to excavate?+
Where possible, we work around existing hardscape, but a patio or deck directly over the excavation zone may need temporary removal, which we'll explain clearly upfront.

Excavation runs down to the footing, which varies by home but is commonly four to eight feet depending on your foundation type and regional frost depth.
