A lot of Hopkins, 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 Hopkins, MN exterior job.
Excavation equipment and membrane materials are staged locally so an exterior project doesn't wait on out-of-town logistics.
Landscaping restoration is included in the scope, not billed as a separate surprise line item.
We install dimpled membrane rated for below-grade use, paired with a footing drain that ties into your existing or new drainage system.
Every Hopkins, MN Exterior Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
This is the most comprehensive Hopkins, 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.
We also inspect and reseal the window frame itself while the well is open.
This is often bundled with grading correction since the two issues usually show up together.
Photos of the exterior foundation area help us plan equipment and access before the visit.
We flag any utility lines or landscaping features that need special handling during excavation.
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."
— Hopkins Homeowner
"They found our downspouts were dumping water two feet from the foundation. Extended them and regraded, and that alone made a noticeable difference."
— Hopkins Customer
"Window well kept flooding every storm. They excavated, added drainage, and resealed the window frame while they were at it."
— Hopkins Homeowner
"Footing drain from the original builder had failed completely. New one actually slopes correctly and moves water like it should."
— Hopkins 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.
Yes — grading correction and downspout extension are often standalone fixes that resolve a surprising number of Hopkins, MN water intrusion issues on their own.
