We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
A lot of Piqua, 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 Piqua, OH exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Piqua, OH'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 Piqua, OH 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.
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 Piqua, OH 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.
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."
— Piqua Homeowner
"Excavation crew was careful with our landscaping and put everything back close to how it looked before."
— Piqua Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Piqua Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Piqua 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.
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.
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 Piqua, OH water intrusion issues on their own.
Larger projects or difficult access points can extend the timeline, which we'll outline in the written quote.
