At Raleigh Waterproofing, we take immense pride in providing advanced excavation and exterior basement waterproofing solutions. To understand our services better, we invite you to explore what excavation and exterior basement waterproofing entail, why they matter, and how we our waterproofing expert can help you protect your property.

What is Excavation?

Excavation is a construction process involving removing soil or rock from a specific site to create an open face, hole, or cavity. It forms the basis of many construction activities, whether building a foundation for your property, installing a septic tank, or undertaking a landscaping project.

In basement waterproofing, excavation typically involves digging around the exterior of your home’s foundation to expose it fully. This exposure allows for thoroughly inspecting your property’s foundation for cracks or other signs of potential water intrusion. Once detected, these issues can be remedied effectively.

The Excavation Process:

Excavation, as it pertains to basement waterproofing, involves several distinct steps. Initially, the surrounding landscaping and hardscaping, such as patios, decks, or walkways, are carefully removed to avoid structural damage.

Then, the area around the foundation is dug out to expose the basement walls fully. This process requires specialized equipment and trained professionals, as the ground can be unstable and risky. Safety is our top priority during this operation.

Once the basement walls are exposed, they are cleaned and inspected for cracks or leaks. These issues, if any, are fixed before moving onto the waterproofing stage.

What is Exterior Basement Waterproofing?

Exterior basement waterproofing, or positive side waterproofing, is a proactive approach to prevent water from entering your home. By creating a barrier on the exterior walls of your basement, you stop water from penetrating your basement’s structure, thus keeping the interiors dry and safe.

The process involves applying a waterproof coating or membrane to the basement’s exterior walls, usually after excavation. This barrier ensures water is repelled from the surface, eliminating the risk of water seepage, mold growth, and structural damage.

The Exterior Basement Waterproofing Process:

The waterproofing process begins once the excavation is complete and any foundation problems are addressed. This includes several key steps:

1. Application of Waterproofing Membrane: The membrane is a thick, durable coating that forms the primary defense against water penetration. This coating, often made of rubberized asphalt, effectively creates a waterproof barrier.

2. Drainage Board Installation: A drainage or dimple board is installed after the waterproofing membrane. This serves a dual purpose – it protects the membrane during backfill. It allows water to flow to the drainage system, preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup against the foundation.

3. Installation of Footing Drain: A footing drain is installed at the base of the foundation to collect and redirect any water that accumulates. This drain is typically a perforated pipe laid in gravel and covered with filter fabric to prevent it from clogging with silt.

4. Backfill and Landscape Restoration: The final step is backfilling the excavated area with soil to avoid damaging the newly installed waterproofing measures. The landscaping and hardscaping are restored to their original states, completing the project.

Why is Exterior Basement Waterproofing Important?

Basements often face the brunt of water-related issues due to their below-ground-level position. As groundwater levels rise, basements are prone to moisture seepage, leading to damp conditions, mold and mildew growth, and structural damage over time.

Exterior basement waterproofing addresses these issues at their source – the outside. By waterproofing from the outside, you protect your home from groundwater intrusion. It not only keeps your basement dry and usable but also safeguards the structural integrity of your home, enhancing its lifespan and value.

Environmental Benefits of Waterproofing:

Apart from keeping your basement dry and protecting your property’s structural integrity, exterior waterproofing also has environmental benefits. It helps reduce the risk of mold and mildew, which can contribute to poor indoor air quality and related health issues. Waterproofing your basement creates a healthier, more comfortable living environment for your family.
