Exterior Waterproofing Services: Protect Your Home from Water Damage
When it comes to protecting your home’s foundation, exterior waterproofing is one of the most essential investments you can make. At G1000 Homes, we understand that a dry foundation is essential for preventing costly repairs and extending the life of your home. Our waterproofing services are designed to keep water out, ensuring your foundation stays strong and secure for years to come.
Comprehensive Inspection and Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property. We carefully evaluate the condition of your foundation, including the walls, drainage systems, and surrounding soil. This detailed assessment allows us to identify any potential risks and determine the best course of action. By addressing these issues early, we can implement solutions that protect your foundation from water damage and erosion.
The Exterior Waterproofing Process
Excavation and Surface Preparation:
To ensure effective waterproofing, we start by excavating around the perimeter of your foundation down to the footings. This allows us to fully access the foundation walls and address any problem areas. The walls are then scraped down to remove any loose material, and any gaps or cracks are routed out and filled with hydraulic cement or non-shrink grout. If the wall surface is uneven, a coating of parget cement may be applied to create a smooth, even surface.
Hydraulic Cement Application:
The application of hydraulic cement is a crucial step in our waterproofing process. This cement seals any cracks in the foundation walls, preventing moisture from leaking in. It also serves as a solid base for the next layers of waterproofing, ensuring that your foundation is thoroughly protected from the elements.
Liquid Membrane Application:
After the hydraulic cement has been applied, we proceed with the application of a high-quality liquid membrane. At G1000 Homes, we use top-notch products, which creates a seamless and flexible barrier against water infiltration. The liquid membrane is designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure, making it an essential component of a durable waterproofing system.
Installation of Drainage Board:
To further enhance the effectiveness of the waterproofing system, we install a drainage board, commonly known as a plastic dimple board or “delta membrane.” This board features dimples that create a drainage plane, directing any water that comes into contact with the foundation away from the walls. The drainage board is installed to grade with finish strips, staying below grade to avoid UV exposure, which can damage the membrane. If you have specific height requirements, we can adjust the installation to meet your needs.
Weeping Tile Installation and Final Steps:
The final step involves installing new weeping tiles wrapped in filter fabric and connecting them to a sump pump or existing drainage runs. This system effectively channels water away from your foundation. If the existing drainage run is partially blocked, we can extend the excavation to ensure proper water flow. The weeping tiles are then covered with clear gravel and surrounded by landscape fabric if needed. Afterward, the excavated dirt is compacted, and the job site is thoroughly cleaned up, leaving your property in excellent condition.

FAQs about Exterior Waterproofing
Discover more about our waterproofing services and get answers to commonly asked questions in our FAQ section. Gain valuable insights and make informed decisions for your construction project.
Is exterior waterproofing worth it?
Absolutely. Exterior waterproofing is always a wise investment when feasible. It provides additional protection for your foundation against the elements and can significantly extend the longevity of your home.
Can you do exterior waterproofing yourself?
It depends. If the excavation is not deeper than 4 feet and soil conditions are favorable, you might be able to tackle it yourself. However, for larger projects, it’s best to call a professional to ensure the job is done correctly.
What is the best way to waterproof exterior foundation walls?
The process typically involves several steps: first, apply hydraulic cement for parging over the walls. Next, apply a liquid membrane, such as AquaBlock. Finally, install a plastic dimple board, also known as a “delta membrane,” to provide added protection.
Do I need a sump pump?
A sump pump is necessary in two situations: if water from the water table or hydrostatic pressure seeps into your basement, or if the weeping tiles around your house are no longer functioning effectively.
How long does exterior waterproofing last?
The lifespan of exterior waterproofing depends on the materials used. Most waterproofing materials have a lifespan of around 25 years.
