Exterior membrane systems, footing drains, and corrected grading tackle Citronelle, AL water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches the interior wall.
Exterior work only pays off if the membrane, footing drain, and grading are all addressed together — fixing one without the others often leaves the underlying pressure problem unresolved. We scope the full picture before recommending excavation.
Exterior work involves excavation near the foundation, and every crew member is trained and insured for that specific scope.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Citronelle, AL's rainy season windows when possible.
Pricing is quoted per linear foot of foundation wall being treated, based on an on-site measurement, not a phone estimate.
We install dimpled membrane rated for below-grade use, paired with a footing drain that ties into your existing or new drainage system.
We scope every Exterior Waterproofing job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
We excavate to the footing, apply a dimpled waterproof membrane directly to the foundation wall, and backfill with proper drainage material.
We slope footing drains correctly during installation, since a flat or reverse-sloped drain simply won't move water.
Soil that slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it is one of the most common Citronelle, AL water intrusion causes, and it's often the cheapest fix on this list.
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.
We flag any utility lines or landscaping features that need special handling during excavation.
You'll see linear footage, membrane type, and footing drain scope broken out with pricing before any digging starts.
We restore grading and any disturbed landscaping as the final step before calling the job complete.

— Citronelle Homeowner
"Excavation crew was careful with our landscaping and put everything back close to how it looked before."

"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Citronelle Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Citronelle Customer
Interior systems manage water after it enters; exterior systems stop water from reaching the wall in the first place, which is more invasive but often more permanent.
We discuss landscaping impact during the estimate so there are no surprises.
We measure your specific foundation during the on-site inspection rather than assuming a standard depth.
We'll walk through both options and their trade-offs so you can make an informed choice.
Yes — grading correction and downspout extension are often standalone fixes that resolve a surprising number of Citronelle, AL water intrusion issues on their own.
