Waterproofing Old Home Basements from the Outside

C. JonesComprehensive Home Waterproofing

Exterior waterproofing is the gold standard for keeping basements dry, especially in older homes where interior solutions might only treat the symptoms.

The process involves:

  • Excavating around the foundation to expose the walls.
  • Repairing any cracks or damage.
  • Applying professional-grade waterproof membranes.
  • Installing exterior French drains to move water away permanently.

This isn’t a DIY weekend project. It’s serious work, but it’s the most permanent solution for homes with chronic water issues. If you love your old home but hate the water problems, reach out to Sump Daddy. We’ll handle it the right way, the first time.
