Exterior membrane systems, footing drains, and corrected grading tackle Horicon, WI water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches the interior wall.
A lot of Horicon, WI 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.
We install dimpled membrane rated for below-grade use, paired with a footing drain that ties into your existing or new drainage system.
We scope every Exterior Waterproofing job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
This is the most comprehensive Horicon, WI 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.
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.
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.
"Membrane and footing drain install took three days but the wall that used to weep every storm has been bone dry since."

"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Horicon Customer
"Appreciated that they called in utility locates before digging near our gas line."

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.
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.
Yes — grading correction and downspout extension are often standalone fixes that resolve a surprising number of Horicon, WI water intrusion issues on their own.
A typical residential wall section with membrane and footing drain work takes a few days depending on access and weather conditions.
