We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
A lot of Plymouth, MI 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 Plymouth, MI exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Plymouth, MI'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.
This is the most comprehensive Plymouth, MI waterproofing fix available, addressing the wall itself rather than just managing water after it gets in.
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 Plymouth, MI water intrusion causes, and it's often the cheapest fix on this list.
Window wells collecting water get excavated, fitted with a gravel bed, and tied into the exterior drain system so they stop acting as a funnel toward the foundation.
This is often bundled with grading correction since the two issues usually show up together.
We ask about grading, downspout placement, and where interior water is showing up to narrow down the likely exterior cause.
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.
"Membrane and footing drain install took three days but the wall that used to weep every storm has been bone dry since."
— Plymouth Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Plymouth Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Plymouth Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Plymouth 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 Plymouth, MI water intrusion issues on their own.
