We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.

A lot of Trenton, OH exterior waterproofing failures trace back to a footing drain that was installed without proper slope, which means it never actually moved water the way it was supposed to. We verify slope during installation, not just at design.
We call in utility locates before any digging starts, standard on every Trenton, OH exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Trenton, OH's rainy season windows when possible.
Landscaping restoration is included in the scope, not billed as a separate surprise line item.
Membrane seams are overlapped and sealed to manufacturer spec so the barrier performs as designed for decades, not just years.

Every Trenton, OH Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Trenton, OH waterproofing fix available, addressing the wall itself rather than just managing water after it gets in.
A perforated footing drain collects groundwater at the base of the foundation and routes it away before it can build pressure against the wall.
We regrade the perimeter to direct surface water away from the wall, typically paired with downspout extensions.
We also inspect and reseal the window frame itself while the well is open.
This is often bundled with grading correction since the two issues usually show up together.

Photos of the exterior foundation area help us plan equipment and access before the visit.
A technician walks the exterior perimeter, checks grading slope, and identifies where excavation would be needed for a membrane or footing drain fix.
We explain what's included in landscaping restoration so there's no confusion after backfill.
We restore grading and any disturbed landscaping as the final step before calling the job complete.
