Why Some Leaks Need to Be Stopped From Outside
If water is entering through a specific cracked or failed section of foundation wall, sealing it from the exterior stops water before it ever reaches the concrete — rather than just managing it once it's already inside. Exterior work also lets a crew inspect and repair the wall itself, which an interior system can't do. Knowing which approach actually matches the cause is the difference between a lasting fix and a recurring one.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what homeowners ask us most about exterior waterproofing.
- How long does exterior waterproofing take?
- A standard single-family exterior waterproofing job typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the length of wall being excavated and site access — we'll give you a specific timeline as part of your estimate.
- Will my landscaping be damaged?
- We take care to protect trees, gardens, and hardscaping wherever possible, and backfill and grade the excavated area when the job is done. Larger features directly in the excavation path, like interlock or mature plantings, may need to be temporarily removed — we'll flag that as part of your estimate.
- Do you offer a warranty on exterior waterproofing?
- Yes — exterior waterproofing is covered by BFR's standard 20-year transferable warranty on the area worked on, so you're protected long after the work is done.
