We Hand Dig!!!
By hand digging we mimize damage to your landscaping.  All work areas are carefully covered.  Bushes are removed and replaced wherever possible.  3/4 inch plywood runners are used to protect your yard.

After thoroughly inspecting your home and taking into consideration
several important factors:
a) actual cause of leak 
                              b) type and condition of foundation wall
     c) landscaping or decking
                              d) basement finished or unfinished, and
                e) the depth of your foundation
We may Suggest Our
"Outside Method" of Waterproofing.

Cost of an Exterior Waterproofing should range: 
$85 - $140 per linear foot

The major factors we consider when estimating are:

1. Length of total system to be installed.
&
2. Difficulty of Installation, primarily, how difficult will it be for our team to reach the footing of your foundation.

Of Course, All of Our Waterproofing Work is
Guaranteed for the Lifetime of your Home.
