Exterior membrane systems, footing drains, and corrected grading tackle Cedarhurst, NY water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches the interior wall.
A lot of Cedarhurst, NY 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.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Cedarhurst, NY's rainy season windows when possible.
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 Cedarhurst, NY Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Cedarhurst, NY 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.
Soil that slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it is one of the most common Cedarhurst, NY 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.
Downspouts discharging within a few feet of the foundation send roof water directly toward the problem — we extend them well clear of the wall.
We ask about grading, downspout placement, and where interior water is showing up to narrow down the likely exterior cause.
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.

"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Cedarhurst Customer
"Appreciated that they called in utility locates before digging near our gas line."
— Cedarhurst Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Cedarhurst Customer
We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
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.
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.
