What is Exterior Basement Waterproofing?

Exterior basement waterproofing is the process of installing drainage solutions and sealants to the outside of your home, which will prevent water from penetrating your foundation or leaking into your basement. Waterproofing basement walls from outside of the home is a more intensive procedure than interior basement waterproofing, which uses solutions from the inside of your home. Especially with how rainy it is here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s crucial to work with a qualified professional who can examine your property and create a customized solution that will divert water away and help you prevent serious damage.

Why Waterproof Your Basement?

Particularly in rainy climates, basement waterproofing is crucial. Failing to protect your foundation could lead to heavy water infiltration, which may damage the structural integrity of your home from the ground-up. Water in your basement could also lead to serious health consequences as a result of mold growth, which can become severe after even just a few days. A few drainage pipes, repairs, and sealants can help you avoid serious and costly problems later down on the road.

How Does Exterior Waterproofing Work?

The first thing our waterproofing specialists will look for is obvious signs of damage to your foundation on the exterior of the home. Fixing these are a necessary step in keeping water out of your basement. Waterproofing basement walls from outside often require the use of heavy equipment to dig a trench along the side of the home that is experiencing water leaks. A water barrier material and a drain pipe system that helps carry excess water away from the foundation can be added to keep your basement dry.
