Our Services
We take a customized approach to every property, beginning with a detailed inspection.
Our Foundation Waterproofing Process
We provide comprehensive interior and exterior waterproofing strategies designed for long-term protection:
- Initial Inspection: We assess your foundation and identify existing and potential water intrusion points. This step includes infrared scanning and grading evaluation.
- Drainage Planning: If needed, we design or repair exterior drainage systems including French drains, swales, and downspout extensions.
- Crack Sealing: We use flexible epoxy or polyurethane foam to permanently seal foundation cracks. These materials allow for minor movement without compromising the seal.
- Interior Waterproofing Systems: Including vapor barriers, sump pumps, and drainage channels for basements and crawlspaces. We install these systems to manage rising water pressure effectively.
- Exterior Waterproof Coatings: For full coverage protection, we apply waterproof membranes and elastomeric coatings to the foundation walls. These are ideal for areas prone to high saturation.
- Final Testing: Post-installation moisture tests and customer walk-throughs ensure that all solutions are functioning properly and meet expectations.
We also offer complementary crack repair, concrete leveling, and house leveling services when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is foundation waterproofing important in Texas Hill Country?
This region is known for its expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, causing foundation shifts and cracks. Waterproofing helps prevent moisture from penetrating those cracks and reduces the risk of erosion, mold, and structural damage—especially in homes around Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and Comfort.
What is the best waterproofing method for Hill Country homes?
The ideal method depends on your foundation type and moisture exposure. For most Texas Hill Country homes, a combination of exterior waterproof membranes, French drains, and interior vapor barriers offers the best protection. We tailor every system based on your soil type and property grade.
How do I know if I need foundation waterproofing?
Watch for signs like musty smells, efflorescence (white stains) on concrete walls, visible cracks, or water pooling near your foundation. If you live in a low-lying area or near seasonal creeks, it’s wise to schedule a free inspection.
Can waterproofing fix an existing foundation crack?
Yes. We seal cracks using flexible polyurethane or epoxy and incorporate them into a broader waterproofing system. Learn more about our crack repair solutions that complement waterproofing.
How much does foundation waterproofing cost in the Hill Country?
Costs vary by size, location, and the complexity of your system. Basic waterproofing may start at $1,500–$3,500, while full interior/exterior systems could range $5,000–$15,000+. We offer free estimates and honest, no-pressure pricing.
Will waterproofing stop basement flooding during heavy rains?
Yes—when done properly. Our waterproofing systems include sump pumps, vapor barriers, and drainage correction to handle water intrusion even during Kerr County’s heaviest downpours.
