Exterior Waterproofing Systems

Exterior waterproofing is one of the most effective ways to permanently prevent water from entering your basement because it stops moisture before it ever reaches the foundation wall. At RM Waterproofing, we understand that every home is different, which is why we offer a variety of exterior waterproofing solutions tailored to the specific cause of the leak rather than recommending unnecessary excavation. For homes experiencing widespread groundwater issues, we install complete exterior waterproofing systems that include excavation to the footing, a 4-inch perforated exterior drain tile installed alongside the footing, clean drainage stone, and a premium liquid-applied waterproofing membrane. For homes where water is entering over the top of the foundation wall, we also offer a more targeted solution by excavating only to just below grade and installing a waterproofing membrane and drainage system to prevent surface water from spilling over the foundation. We also perform localized exterior waterproofing repairs for isolated leaks around basement windows, chimney foundations, utility penetrations, and other problem areas without disturbing the entire foundation. What truly sets RM Waterproofing apart is our attention to detail during surface preparation and membrane installation. A waterproofing membrane is only as effective as the surface it's applied to, which is why we take the time to properly prepare every foundation before installation. We use premium Sika waterproofing products, manufactured by one of the world's leading companies in concrete protection and waterproofing technology. When properly applied to a well-prepared surface, these high-performance liquid membranes create a seamless, durable barrier that helps protect your home from water intrusion for years to come. Combined with proper drainage, quality materials, and meticulous workmanship, our exterior waterproofing systems are built to provide dependable, long-lasting protection.
