Exterior basement waterproofing typically involves the following steps:
Excavation: The soil around the foundation is excavated to expose the exterior walls and footing.
Surface Preparation: The exterior walls are cleaned and inspected for any cracks, holes, or other defects.
Application of Waterproofing Membrane: A waterproofing membrane or coating is applied to the exterior walls to create a barrier against water infiltration.
Installation of Drainage System: A drainage system, such as a French drain or weeping tile, is installed at the base of the foundation to collect and redirect water away from the building.
Backfilling: Once the waterproofing membrane and drainage system are in place, the excavated soil is replaced and compacted around the foundation.
