Exterior membrane systems, footing drains, and corrected grading tackle Glen Head, NY water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches the interior wall.
A lot of Glen Head, NY 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 Glen Head, NY exterior job.
Excavation equipment and membrane materials are staged locally so an exterior project doesn't wait on out-of-town logistics.
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 Glen Head, NY 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.
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.
A technician walks the exterior perimeter, checks grading slope, and identifies where excavation would be needed for a membrane or footing drain fix.
You'll see linear footage, membrane type, and footing drain scope broken out with pricing before any digging starts.
Excavation, membrane installation, and backfill for a typical residential wall section usually take a few days depending on access and weather.

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.
