We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.

A lot of Streetsboro, 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 Streetsboro, OH 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.

Every Streetsboro, 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.
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.

We ask about grading, downspout placement, and where interior water is showing up to narrow down the likely exterior cause.
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.
We restore grading and any disturbed landscaping as the final step before calling the job complete.

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.
We discuss landscaping impact during the estimate so there are no surprises.
Excavation typically goes down to the footing, which varies by home but is often four to eight feet depending on foundation depth.
Generally yes, since it involves excavation, but it addresses the source of water intrusion rather than managing symptoms after entry.
