Exterior waterproofing addresses the source directly: excavation, membrane application, and footing drainage designed to keep water away from the wall in the first place.

Four commitments that separate a properly trained exterior waterproofing crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
Certification covers grading assessment, drainage board installation, and rubberized membrane application to manufacturer spec.
Active water intrusion visible from outside — pooling against the foundation, saturated soil — moves to priority scheduling.
Quotes break out excavation linear footage, membrane material, footing drain installation, and backfill/regrading separately, in writing.
Footing drains are set in washed gravel and wrapped in filter fabric to resist silt clogging over the system's service life.
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.
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.
We regrade the perimeter to direct water away from the structure and coordinate downspout extensions as part of a complete exterior fix.
We install window well drains tied into the footing drain system, plus a clear cover to reduce debris accumulation.
Cracks and cold joints exposed during excavation get treated directly at the source, 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.
You'll get a text confirmation with an arrival window and any documents needed, like utility locate authorization.
Pricing is itemized by excavation footage, membrane material, and drainage work, in writing before any digging begins.
Membrane and footing drain work carries a written warranty against failure at the treated wall section.
What New Bavaria, OH customers are saying after their exterior waterproofing service.
"They found our footing drain had completely collapsed after thirty years — explains why the interior fixes never fully worked before."
"Regraded the whole side yard and extended our downspouts as part of the job. Haven't seen water against that wall since."
"Excavation crew was careful with our landscaping and put everything back better than it was before."
"Appreciated that they explained why interior injection alone wasn't going to solve our specific problem before recommending exterior work."
The questions New Bavaria customers ask us before booking exterior waterproofing service.
Our exterior waterproofing crews cover New Bavaria and the surrounding New Bavaria, OH service area, with regional dispatch keeping response times tight regardless of which part of the footprint you're in.
Because exterior work requires excavation crews, coverage is more regional than interior services — worth confirming by phone either way.
