Scope of work
Foundation waterproofing keeps water out of your basement or crawl space using a layered defense: exterior membrane, drain tile, interior perimeter drains, and a sump system. The right combination depends on your soil, water table, and the original waterproofing detail (or lack of it).
The matched specialist will give you a written scope and estimate after the free inspection.

FAQ
Exterior is the gold standard but requires excavation. Interior drainage with a sump is more accessible, less invasive, and effective for most homes — and often the only practical option on tight lots.
Modern membranes and drain systems carry 25-year to lifetime warranties. As long as the drainage path stays clear and the sump pump is maintained, it should last decades.
In any home with a high water table, yes — drainage moves water to the sump, the sump moves it out. Together they form one system.
