Exterior membrane systems, footing drains, and corrected grading tackle Union City, MI water intrusion at the source, before it ever reaches the interior wall.
A lot of Union City, MI 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.
We call in utility locates before any digging starts, standard on every Union City, MI exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Union City, MI's rainy season windows when possible.
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.
Every Union City, MI Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Union City, MI 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.
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.
A technician walks the exterior perimeter, checks grading slope, and identifies where excavation would be needed for a membrane or footing drain fix.
We explain what's included in landscaping restoration so there's no confusion after backfill.
We restore grading and any disturbed landscaping as the final step before calling the job complete.

We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
Some disruption is unavoidable near the foundation, but we restore grading and replant where reasonable as part of the scope.
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.
Larger projects or difficult access points can extend the timeline, which we'll outline in the written quote.
