Exterior foundation waterproofing
Assess access to the affected foundation, below-grade surfaces and drainage. Excavation, wall preparation and the waterproofing assembly form a site-specific scope.
JGD / FOUNDATION WATERPROOFING
Foundation waterproofing.
Water entering a basement can follow several paths. JGD assesses foundation waterproofing and related drainage work around the location of the water entry, the foundation's condition and where surface and groundwater can discharge. The repair needs to address the cause, not simply cover the symptom.

APPLICATIONS
Where this service
fits the work.
Different sites call for different access, equipment planning and responsibilities. These are common starting points—not a claim that every job includes the same work.
Foundation drainage
Discuss the condition and discharge route of foundation drainage, along with any sump connection. A waterproof layer and a working drainage path serve different purposes.
Recurring basement water entry
Review the location, timing and visible conditions before selecting work. Roof runoff, surface grading, cracks and plumbing can require different responses.
THE WORK / EXPLAINED
Understand the water path before choosing the work.
Below-grade moisture may relate to the foundation, drainage, surface runoff or a different source entirely.
Signs worth discussing
- Water appears after rain or snowmelt.
- Moisture returns at a wall, joint or crack.
- Existing foundation drainage or a previous repair needs review.
How the work is assessed
Review where water enters, when it occurs and the conditions around the foundation. Define access, the affected wall area, drainage connections and restoration alongside the proposed waterproofing work.
Where the scope ends
A waterproofing inquiry does not establish the cause or guarantee a dry basement. Plumbing leaks, surface drainage and structural defects may require different or additional work.
QUESTIONS FOR YOUR SITE
Get the right scope from the start.
- Where does water first become visible?
- Does it follow rainfall, snowmelt or another pattern?
- What repairs, drainage and exterior access already exist?
