Exterior membrane systems, footing drains, and corrected grading tackle Hobbs, IN water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches the interior wall.
A lot of Hobbs, IN 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.
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 Hobbs, IN's rainy season windows when possible.
Landscaping restoration is included in the scope, not billed as a separate surprise line item.
We install dimpled membrane rated for below-grade use, paired with a footing drain that ties into your existing or new drainage system.
Every Hobbs, IN Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
We excavate to the footing, apply a dimpled waterproof membrane directly to the foundation wall, and backfill with proper drainage material.
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.
Downspouts discharging within a few feet of the foundation send roof water directly toward the problem — we extend them well clear of the wall.
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.
Excavation, membrane installation, and backfill for a typical residential wall section usually take a few days depending on access and weather.
"Membrane and footing drain install took three days but the wall that used to weep every storm has been bone dry since."
— Hobbs Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Hobbs Customer
"Appreciated that they called in utility locates before digging near our gas line."
— Hobbs Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Hobbs 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.
Excavation typically goes down to the footing, which varies by home but is often four to eight feet depending on foundation depth.
Generally yes, since it involves excavation, but it addresses the source of water intrusion rather than managing symptoms after entry.
Yes — grading correction and downspout extension are often standalone fixes that resolve a surprising number of Hobbs, IN water intrusion issues on their own.
A typical residential wall section with membrane and footing drain work takes a few days depending on access and weather conditions.
