Lexington, MN's Exterior Waterproofing Crew: Membrane, Drain Tile, and Grading
We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
We excavate only where necessary and restore landscaping as part of the scope.
A lot of Lexington, MN exterior waterproofing failures trace back to a footing drain that was installed without proper slope, which means it never actually moved water the way it was supposed to. We verify slope during installation, not just at design.
We call in utility locates before any digging starts, standard on every Lexington, MN exterior job.
Weather-dependent scheduling means we plan exterior jobs around Lexington, MN's rainy season windows when possible.
Pricing is quoted per linear foot of foundation wall being treated, based on an on-site measurement, not a phone estimate.
Membrane seams are overlapped and sealed to manufacturer spec so the barrier performs as designed for decades, not just years.
Every Lexington, MN Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Lexington, MN waterproofing fix available, addressing the wall itself rather than just managing water after it gets in.
A perforated footing drain collects groundwater at the base of the foundation and routes it away before it can build pressure against the wall.
We regrade the perimeter to direct surface water away from the wall, typically paired with downspout extensions.
Window wells collecting water get excavated, fitted with a gravel bed, and tied into the exterior drain system so they stop acting as a funnel toward the foundation.
This is often bundled with grading correction since the two issues usually show up together.
We ask about grading, downspout placement, and where interior water is showing up to narrow down the likely exterior cause.
A technician walks the exterior perimeter, checks grading slope, and identifies where excavation would be needed for a membrane or footing drain fix.
You'll see linear footage, membrane type, and footing drain scope broken out with pricing before any digging starts.
We restore grading and any disturbed landscaping as the final step before calling the job complete.
"Membrane and footing drain install took three days but the wall that used to weep every storm has been bone dry since."
— Lexington Homeowner
"Excavation crew was careful with our landscaping and put everything back close to how it looked before."
— Lexington Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Lexington Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Lexington Customer
We'll recommend the right approach based on what the inspection actually finds.
Some disruption is unavoidable near the foundation, but we restore grading and replant where reasonable as part of the scope.
Excavation typically goes down to the footing, which varies by home but is often four to eight feet depending on foundation depth.
Generally yes, since it involves excavation, but it addresses the source of water intrusion rather than managing symptoms after entry.
We'll recommend starting there if the inspection suggests surface water is the primary cause.
A typical residential wall section with membrane and footing drain work takes a few days depending on access and weather conditions.
