24/7
Emergency Dispatch
We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
Exterior work only pays off if the membrane, footing drain, and grading are all addressed together — fixing one without the others often leaves the underlying pressure problem unresolved. We scope the full picture before recommending excavation.
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 Palisades Park, NJ'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 Palisades Park, NJ 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 Palisades Park, NJ water intrusion causes, and it's often the cheapest fix on this list.
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.
We explain what's included in landscaping restoration so there's no confusion after backfill.
Excavation, membrane installation, and backfill for a typical residential wall section usually take a few days depending on access and weather.
"Interior fixes hadn't worked for us — turned out the real problem was grading pushing water straight at the foundation. Exterior correction solved it."
— Palisades Park Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Palisades Park Customer
"Appreciated that they called in utility locates before digging near our gas line."
— Palisades Park Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Palisades Park Customer
We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
Some disruption is unavoidable near the foundation, but we restore grading and replant where reasonable as part of the scope.
We measure your specific foundation during the on-site inspection rather than assuming a standard 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 Palisades Park, NJ water intrusion issues on their own.
A typical residential wall section with membrane and footing drain work takes a few days depending on access and weather conditions.
