A lot of Northville, MI 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 Northville, MI 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 Northville, MI Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Northville, MI waterproofing fix available, addressing the wall itself rather than just managing water after it gets in.
We slope footing drains correctly during installation, since a flat or reverse-sloped drain simply won't move water.
We regrade the perimeter to direct surface water away from the wall, typically paired with downspout extensions.
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.
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.
We explain what's included in landscaping restoration so there's no confusion after backfill.
Excavation, membrane installation, and backfill for a typical residential wall section usually take a few days depending on access and weather.
"Membrane and footing drain install took three days but the wall that used to weep every storm has been bone dry since."
— Northville Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Northville Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Northville Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Northville Customer
We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
Some disruption is unavoidable near the foundation, but we restore grading and replant where reasonable as part of the scope.
Excavation typically goes down to the footing, which varies by home but is often four to eight feet depending on foundation depth.
Generally yes, since it involves excavation, but it addresses the source of water intrusion rather than managing symptoms after entry.
We'll recommend starting there if the inspection suggests surface water is the primary cause.
A typical residential wall section with membrane and footing drain work takes a few days depending on access and weather conditions.
