Exterior Foundation Waterproofing in Alabama
Protect Your Home with Our Quality Waterproofing Services
Why is Exterior Waterproofing and Excavation Important?
Exterior waterproofing stops water from seeping into your foundation and basement, preventing serious structural issues. Excavation is a crucial part of this process, as it allows us to fully access your foundation to apply effective waterproofing solutions. Common causes of water intrusion include:
- Hydrostatic Pressure: As water builds up in the soil around your foundation, it creates pressure that can push water through cracks in the walls or foundation floor.
- Poor Drainage: If water is not directed away from your foundation, it can pool near your home, eventually seeping inside.
- Soil Movement: Shifting or settling soil can create gaps or cracks around your foundation, allowing water to enter.
- Faulty Gutters and Downspouts: Improperly functioning gutters and downspouts can cause water to accumulate around your foundation, increasing the risk of leaks.
Without proper waterproofing and excavation, water damage can severely weaken your foundation, leading to even more expensive repairs.
How APS Can Help
At APS, we offer a full suite of exterior waterproofing and excavation services to protect your home’s foundation. Our process includes:
- Excavation Services: We carefully excavate around the perimeter of your foundation to gain full access for waterproofing. This allows us to thoroughly inspect the foundation walls for cracks or damage and prepare them for long-lasting waterproofing solutions.
- Waterproof Coatings: Once the foundation is exposed, we apply high-quality waterproof coatings to prevent water from penetrating the foundation walls.
- Drainage Systems: We install effective drainage systems, such as French drains, to divert water away from your foundation, helping to reduce hydrostatic pressure.
- Gutter and Downspout Management: Ensuring your gutters and downspouts are properly directing water away from your home is critical to preventing water buildup around your foundation.
- Soil Grading: After excavation and waterproofing, we ensure the soil around your home is properly graded to further aid water runoff and prevent pooling near your foundation.
