What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing prevents water from reaching the foundation wall. Interior waterproofing manages water that enters and routes it away safely. The best solution depends on your specific conditions — we can recommend the right approach after inspection.
Can you waterproof a foundation from the inside?
Yes. Interior waterproofing systems including drainage channels and sump pumps are very effective and less expensive than exterior excavation. For many Southern California homes, interior solutions provide excellent protection.
How do I know if my foundation has a water problem?
Signs include white mineral deposits (efflorescence) on concrete, damp or wet walls in basements or crawl spaces, mold or musty odors, rust stains, peeling paint, and visible cracks with moisture.
