Fix It From the Outside In: Exterior Waterproofing in Pomeroy, WA
We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.

A lot of Pomeroy, WA 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.
Exterior work involves excavation near the foundation, and every crew member is trained and insured for that specific scope.
Excavation equipment and membrane materials are staged locally so an exterior project doesn't wait on out-of-town logistics.
Landscaping restoration is included in the scope, not billed as a separate surprise line item.
Membrane seams are overlapped and sealed to manufacturer spec so the barrier performs as designed for decades, not just years.
Every Pomeroy, WA Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Pomeroy, WA 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 Pomeroy, WA water intrusion causes, and it's often the cheapest fix on this list.
Window wells collecting water get excavated, fitted with a gravel bed, and tied into the exterior drain system so they stop acting as a funnel toward the foundation.
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.
You'll see linear footage, membrane type, and footing drain scope broken out with pricing before any digging starts.
We restore grading and any disturbed landscaping as the final step before calling the job complete.

Interior systems manage water after it enters; exterior systems stop water from reaching the wall in the first place, which is more invasive but often more permanent.
We discuss landscaping impact during the estimate so there are no surprises.
We measure your specific foundation during the on-site inspection rather than assuming a standard depth.
