We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
A lot of Waupaca, WI 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 Waupaca, WI exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Waupaca, WI'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.
Every Waupaca, WI Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Waupaca, WI 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.
We regrade the perimeter to direct surface water away from the wall, typically paired with downspout extensions.
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.
"Interior fixes hadn't worked for us — turned out the real problem was grading pushing water straight at the foundation. Exterior correction solved it."
— Waupaca Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Waupaca Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Waupaca Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Waupaca Customer
We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
Some disruption is unavoidable near the foundation, but we restore grading and replant where reasonable as part of the scope.
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.
