We had Eric with Dry Duck Basement Waterproofing out to bid our basement project and wow talk about up front, honest, and fair pricing we didn't hesitate to hire them. They delivered exactly what they said they would do, and while it was a messy job, they kept things as tidy as possible. Great work guys, thanks again!

Risks of waiting or cutting corners

Exposed Walls Get Worse Every Freeze Cycle

Skipping waterproofing or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to:

  • Recurring leaks and water damage that get worse over time
  • Mold and mildew that affect your family's health and air quality
  • Foundation cracks and structural issues that cost far more to fix later
  • Wasted money on band-aid fixes or contractors who don't stand behind their work

Common questions

What to Know Before We Start Excavating

What is exterior foundation waterproofing?

Exterior foundation waterproofing involves excavating around your foundation and applying waterproofing materials to the outside of foundation walls. This prevents water from ever reaching your foundation.

How long does exterior waterproofing take?

Exterior foundation waterproofing typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the size of your foundation and accessibility. The process involves excavation, application of waterproofing materials, installation of drainage systems, and backfilling.
