Exterior Waterproofing in Palmetto, GA — Stop Water Before It Reaches the Wall
We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
A lot of Palmetto, GA 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.
Exterior work involves excavation near the foundation, and every crew member is trained and insured for that specific scope.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Palmetto, GA'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.
Membrane seams are overlapped and sealed to manufacturer spec so the barrier performs as designed for decades, not just years.
We scope every Exterior Waterproofing job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
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 Palmetto, GA 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.
Photos of the exterior foundation area help us plan equipment and access before the visit.
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.
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."
— Palmetto Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Palmetto Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Palmetto Homeowner
"Fast turnaround given how much digging was involved."
