A lot of Lexington, SC 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 Lexington, SC exterior job.
Excavation equipment and membrane materials are staged locally so an exterior project doesn't wait on out-of-town logistics.
Pricing is quoted per linear foot of foundation wall being treated, based on an on-site measurement, not a phone estimate.
We install dimpled membrane rated for below-grade use, paired with a footing drain that ties into your existing or new drainage system.
Every Lexington, SC Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Lexington, SC waterproofing fix available, addressing the wall itself rather than just managing water after it gets in.
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 Lexington, SC 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.
Photos of the exterior foundation area help us plan equipment and access before the visit.
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.
Excavation, membrane installation, and backfill for a typical residential wall section usually take a few days depending on access and weather.

— Lexington Homeowner
"Fast turnaround given how much digging was involved."
— Lexington Customer
We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
