Waterproofing
of exterior walls
If
your floors are getting wet with no apparent leaks from windows or the
roof , water may be leaking thru the walls from the wet dirt. The water
is wicking through stucco, masonry surfaces, brick or block.
Waterproofing
can be applied to the exterior wall from above the dirt line down to
the footer and greatly reduce the effects of water saturated soil or
standing water next to the wall of your home.

1). Roll the grass back and remove dirt to expose the
footer.
2). Thoroughly clean exposed footer and wall.
3). Several coats of waterproofing are applied to footer
and exposed wall.
4). The wall is then repainted to match the existing
wall
5). The grass is then rolled back and all holes filled.
This wall will now hold back water in times
of hard rain, or when water stands near the wall.
