We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
A lot of Kempton, IN 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 Kempton, IN exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Kempton, IN's rainy season windows when possible.
Landscaping restoration is included in the scope, not billed as a separate surprise line item.
We install dimpled membrane rated for below-grade use, paired with a footing drain that ties into your existing or new drainage system.
Every Kempton, IN 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.
A perforated footing drain collects groundwater at the base of the foundation and routes it away before it can build pressure against the wall.
Soil that slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it is one of the most common Kempton, IN 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.
We ask about grading, downspout placement, and where interior water is showing up to narrow down the likely exterior cause.
We flag any utility lines or landscaping features that need special handling during excavation.
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.
"Membrane and footing drain install took three days but the wall that used to weep every storm has been bone dry since."
— Kempton Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Kempton Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Kempton Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Kempton Customer
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.
Yes — grading correction and downspout extension are often standalone fixes that resolve a surprising number of Kempton, IN water intrusion issues on their own.
