Foundation Water Intrusion Repair

Older homes often suffer water infiltration through the foundation walls due to the lack of damp proofing at the time of construction, or simply due to the age of the structure. Exterior waterproofing uses a spray-applied tar-type damp proofing material or a waterproofing membrane (Bituthene). The membrane is adhered directly to the exterior of the foundation wall. Either application requires complete excavation of the exterior of the foundation wall at the area requiring waterproofing. In our opinion, and the market research we have done, exterior waterproofing of a foundation wall is the best method of keeping water from entering your home through the foundation walls. It also keeps the water from penetrating the concrete or brick of the foundation wall, which over time causes deterioration of the concrete or brick. This application is typically used on older homes, and is available for any age of structure.
