Frequently Asked Questions
What is exterior waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing is a system designed to stop water from entering your foundation walls, basement, or crawlspace from the outside. This process typically includes excavation, foundation sealing, drainage board installation, and a French drain system to redirect water away from the home.
What are the signs my home may need exterior waterproofing?
Common signs include water stains on foundation walls, standing water near the home, basement leaks, musty odors, crawlspace moisture, foundation cracks, or soil erosion around the property.
How does exterior waterproofing work?
Exterior waterproofing works by excavating around the foundation, applying waterproof barriers to the wall, and installing a drainage system that safely redirects water away from the structure before it can enter the home.
Is exterior waterproofing better than interior waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing addresses the source of the problem by stopping water before it reaches the foundation wall. Interior systems manage water after it enters. In many cases, exterior waterproofing provides a longer-lasting and more complete solution.
How long does exterior waterproofing last?
When installed correctly using quality materials, exterior waterproofing systems can last for decades. Proper drainage maintenance and gutter management also help extend the life of the system.
Will exterior waterproofing help protect my foundation?
Yes. Excess moisture around the foundation can lead to soil movement, hydrostatic pressure, cracks, and structural settlement. Exterior waterproofing helps reduce these risks by controlling groundwater around the home.
Do you install French drains with exterior waterproofing systems?
Yes. French drains are one of the most important parts of an exterior waterproofing system. They collect and redirect groundwater away from the foundation to help keep the area dry.
Can clogged gutters and downspouts cause foundation water problems?
Absolutely. Overflowing gutters and poor downspout drainage can dump large amounts of water near the foundation, leading to erosion, settling, and basement or crawlspace moisture issues.
How long does exterior waterproofing installation take?
Most exterior waterproofing projects can be completed within a few days depending on the size of the home, depth of excavation, weather conditions, and drainage requirements.
Will my yard be damaged during installation?
Some excavation is required, but professional crews work carefully to minimize disruption. After installation, the area is backfilled and graded to help restore proper drainage around the home.
Is exterior waterproofing worth it?
Exterior waterproofing can help prevent costly water damage, mold growth, foundation issues, and crawlspace moisture problems. It also helps protect the long-term value of your home.
