Summary

This project called for addressing ongoing water intrusion by regrading the soil, improving drainage, and waterproofing along a crawl space foundation. The homeowner needed a solution that would protect the property and restore the area’s appearance after excavation.

The Work

Excavated 16 feet along the foundation to expose and prep the wall for waterproofing
Installed a waterproofing membrane, drainage board, and a perforated drain pipe with stone backfill
Regraded soil, built a small berm, and blended decorative river rock with surrounding features
Reset stone steps and restored the disturbed area near the driveway for a seamless look

The Outcome

Redirecting water away from the home helped reduce moisture issues along the foundation. The repaired grades and new river rock gave the area a clean, finished look while supporting long-term drainage.
