Basement Waterproofing Greenville provides comprehensive exterior waterproofing services to restore wet basements, leaking foundation walls, and saturated crawl spaces to a dry, protected, and stable condition. Our professional exterior waterproofing team expertly addresses common issues, including water pushing through the walls from outside, hydrostatic pressure, surface runoff, efflorescence, and the wall cracks that compromise your home's comfort and structural integrity. Basement Waterproofing Greenville specializes in foundation excavation, exterior waterproof membranes, footing drains, and drainage-stone backfill that stop water before it reaches your foundation while protecting your home and maintaining its value.
With years of experience in the waterproofing industry, our team has completed multiple exterior waterproofing projects across Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, and the surrounding Upstate with consistent customer satisfaction. We use only proven membranes and drainage materials matched to your home's grade, soil, and water load to ensure lasting results that withstand the test of time. Our detailed on-site inspection process identifies exactly where water is entering from outside, allowing us to provide permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes.
At Basement Waterproofing Greenville, we combine years of hands-on experience with a commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. From the first inspection to the final backfill, we make exterior waterproofing simple, clear, and tailored to your home.

As a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor, we stand behind every project with a satisfaction guarantee and a transferable warranty.
Water pushing in from outside is the most serious problem we see on the exterior. Saturated soil presses against the foundation and forces water through cracks, joints, and porous block. Left alone, it keeps soaking the wall after every heavy rain.
Our approach includes excavating down to the footing to expose the outside of the wall. We then clean and repair the wall and bond a waterproof membrane that blocks water before it can enter. We always aim to stop the water at the wall, not just manage it inside.
To keep it out for good, we add a footing drain and drainage stone against the membrane. Early action reduces the risk of mold growth and structural problems in the foundation.
A yard that slopes toward the house is a common cause of a wet foundation. Surface water and roof runoff collect against the wall instead of flowing away. This is especially common on Greenville's foothill lots.
We correct the grade so the ground falls away from the foundation and extend downspouts well past the wall. Where needed, we add a yard drain or French drain to carry water to a lower point.
Moving the water away before it reaches the wall is often the simplest, most affordable fix. Proper drainage keeps the soil beside the home from staying saturated.
An old or missing exterior coating lets water seep straight through the foundation. Parging and sealers crack and peel over the years, and block walls are porous to begin with. You often see efflorescence or damp spots on the inside as a result.
We expose the wall, patch the cracks and damaged areas, and apply a fresh waterproof membrane across the surface. For block walls, we seal the cores and joints where water travels.
A sound, sealed exterior surface stops water at the source. We tie it into the footing drain so any water that reaches the wall is carried away.
We focus on proven methods to stop water from the outside. Our work covers excavating the foundation, sealing the wall, draining at the footing, and backfilling for drainage. Each step ensures your foundation stays dry and protected as it should.
We carefully dig down along the foundation to the footing without disturbing more of the yard than we need to. Using tools like compact excavators and shovels, we expose only the wall that needs the work.
Next, we clean the wall and patch cracks and damaged areas so the surface is ready for waterproofing. We prepare it carefully so the membrane bonds tightly.
Our team removes old coatings and debris from the footing. We then set up for the membrane and drain that follow. This prep is what makes the whole system last.
We coat the wall to seal out water, groundwater, and soil moisture. Our heavy-duty membranes create a continuous barrier across the foundation.
After prep, we apply one or more layers of membrane. Options include liquid-applied coatings, peel-and-stick sheets, and dimple board, depending on the wall.
This step protects the wall and keeps water out for the long term. We carefully seal every seam and penetration to provide a continuous, durable barrier.
Sizing a footing drain requires attention to water volume, depth, and where the water can go. We use the right pipe and stone to find the best path.
We set perforated pipe in clean stone at the base of the footing before backfilling. This ensures the water collects and flows away from the wall.
Our goal is to carry water to daylight or a sump, away from the home. We explain your drainage options clearly so you can choose the best path for your lot.
We inspect the soil and grade around the wall for issues like clay, settling, or poor slope. Bad backfill and grading can trap water, cause settling, or send runoff back toward the house.
Our team backfills against the membrane with clean drainage stone and rebuilds the grade with moisture-shedding soil. We also correct the slope and downspouts prone to pooling.
This drainage layer supports the system above and extends your foundation's life. We work efficiently to minimize disruption in your yard.
We focus on using materials and equipment that stand up to constant soil moisture while keeping the work clean. Our methods also include careful site handling to protect your home and yard.
We choose membranes and drainage products that are built for constant contact with wet soil. This means the membrane, pipe, and stone are made to resist punctures, clogging, and breakdown underground. We use heavy-duty exterior membranes and perforated drain in clean stone to keep the system working for the long term. Our materials are rated to handle the water loads and clay common in the Upstate. Using these materials helps keep your foundation dry and supports a healthier home. We believe using proven materials benefits both your home and your peace of mind.
Our equipment is designed to make precise work with minimal mess. We use compact excavators and trench tools that reduce disturbance to your yard. This keeps your property cleaner and limits damage to landscaping. We also employ technology that allows us to dig and waterproof faster and with less disruption. For example, laser levels and moisture meters help us set the right grade and find hidden damp spots. This ensures your waterproofing lasts longer and works better.
We handle all debris and old materials responsibly. Instead of leaving spoil piles and old coatings behind, we haul and recycle whenever possible. This includes reusing clean soil and stone when safe. Wet or hazardous material, like old sealants or membrane scraps, is disposed of according to local regulations to prevent pollution. We document our work and restore your yard so you know exactly what was done. Our goal is to reduce mess and leave your property clean during and after the installation.
Straight answers to what Greenville homeowners ask us most about stopping water from the outside.
Most exterior waterproofing projects in Greenville run between $8,000 and $15,000 or more, because they involve excavation, a membrane, and a footing drain. The price depends on how deep the wall is, how much we have to dig, and how much of the foundation needs work. We provide a clear, written estimate after a free inspection, so you know the price before any work starts.
Exterior waterproofing is the most thorough option, because it stops water before it ever reaches the wall. It is the right call when a wall is actively leaking from outside or during major landscaping. For many Greenville homes, interior drainage and a sump do the job for less, and we will tell you honestly which one your home needs.
No, we only excavate along the section of foundation that needs the work, not the entire yard. We dig a trench down to the footing, do the waterproofing, and backfill and regrade when we are done. We protect your landscaping where we can and restore the ground so the area is left clean.
Most exterior waterproofing jobs take a few days to a week, longer than interior work because of the excavation involved. The exact timeline depends on the depth of the wall, the weather, and how much foundation we are treating. We give you a clear timeline with your written estimate.
Yes, we offer a warranty covering our workmanship and the system we install. The length of coverage depends on the type of membrane and drainage, and the warranty is transferable to the next owner. We put all of it in writing before the project begins.
