STOP WATER BEFORE IT BECOMES DAMAGE

If you have seen water pooling along basement walls in Reese after a hard rain or noticed damp spots on the floor near your foundation, you are dealing with intrusion that will not stop on its own

L &L Excavating provides exterior basement waterproofing designed for Michigan's wet climate, where seasonal runoff and high groundwater create ongoing pressure on older basements

Many homes  were built decades ago with minimal foundation protection, and that shows up as seepage, staining, and moisture damage over time.

Exterior basement waterproofing stops water from ever coming into the structure, preventing future damage. Because the work is completed on the outside of the foundation, exterior is the preferred long-term method to preserve your foundation and keep your basement dry through spring thaw and heavy summer storms—protecting both the foundation and any finished living space below grade.

Exterior basement waterproofing starts with excavating around the foundation to expose the outside walls down to the footing. Once accessible, the foundation is cleaned and sealed with a waterproof membrane to create a protective barrier. Drainage tile is then installed at the base of the foundation to capture groundwater and move it away from the home, relieving pressure that causes seepage through joints, cracks, and the footer seam.

If you are tired of dealing with a wet basement or want to protect your foundation before water damage worsens, L&L Excavating can evaluate your property and install a waterproofing system that works for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?

Interior waterproofing manages water that has already entered the basement by collecting and removing it. Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches the foundation by sealing walls and redirecting groundwater.

Why does water show up more in spring and after heavy rain?

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?

Spring thaw and heavy storms raise the water table and increase surface runoff, both of which put pressure on your foundation. Basements without proper drainage or waterproofing cannot handle that volume.

Will waterproofing fix cracks in my foundation walls?

Will waterproofing fix cracks in my foundation walls?

Will waterproofing fix cracks in my foundation walls?

Waterproofing controls moisture intrusion but does not repair structural cracks. If your foundation has damage beyond seepage, that should be addressed separately before or during waterproofing work. L&L can provide wall repair and replacement when necessary. 

How long does a waterproofing system last?

Will waterproofing fix cracks in my foundation walls?

Will waterproofing fix cracks in my foundation walls?

A properly installed system can last decades with minimal maintenance. Sump pumps should be tested periodically, and exterior drainage should be kept clear of debris.
