Exterior Foundation Waterproofing: Stop Water Before It Enters Your Basement

Water intrusion can lead to damp basements, deteriorating masonry, mold, and long-term foundation problems. Exterior foundation waterproofing addresses the problem from the outside by helping prevent groundwater from penetrating the foundation walls.

At Exceptional Masonry & Waterproofing, we provide exterior waterproofing and foundation repair solutions throughout the North Shore of Massachusetts.

How Exterior Waterproofing Works

Exterior waterproofing typically involves excavating along the affected foundation to expose the wall. Cracks, deteriorated mortar, and damaged masonry can then be repaired before a waterproofing membrane is installed.

Depending on the property, the system may also include a drainage membrane, footing drainage, solid drain pipe, or dry well to help direct water away from the foundation.

Signs You May Need Exterior Waterproofing

Common signs include water entering during heavy rain, damp foundation walls, musty odors, efflorescence, deteriorated mortar, foundation cracks, and recurring basement moisture.

Every property is different, so identifying where the water is coming from is an important first step before recommending a repair.
