When water is reaching your foundation from the outside — through poor grading, a failed membrane, or saturated soil — the fix belongs outside too, not just inside masking the symptom.

Four commitments that separate a properly trained exterior waterproofing crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
Crews are trained in proper excavation depth, membrane application technique, and footing drain installation specific to exterior waterproofing systems.
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.
We apply rubberized asphalt or sheet membrane systems rated for below-grade application, not a consumer-grade coating that degrades within a few seasons.
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.
We excavate along the affected wall section down to the footing, clean and prep the existing foundation surface, and apply a rubberized waterproofing membrane rated for permanent below-grade exposure. 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.
Window wells without proper drainage collect and hold water against a vulnerable point in the foundation wall — often the source of a leak that seemed to come from nowhere.
Sealing from the exterior addresses hydrostatic pressure at the point of entry rather than relying solely on an interior injection to manage it after the fact.
Here's what happens between your call and a completed exterior fix.
Describe what you're seeing from outside — pooling water, visible efflorescence on the wall, soil that stays saturated — and dispatch routes a crew equipped for an exterior assessment.
You'll get a text confirmation with an arrival window and any documents needed, like utility locate authorization.
A full grading and drainage evaluation identifies whether the fix needs full excavation, footing drain repair, or grading correction alone.
Excavation sites are backfilled, compacted, and regraded to proper slope before the crew leaves, with landscaping restoration included where disturbed.
What Rothschild, WI 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."
