Exterior Foundation Waterproofing

We dig to the footing, clean the wall, apply Blueskin membrane and Platon dimple board, then backfill in layers, grade and parge. The long-term fix for a basement that leaks when it rains.

Built for Essex County clay

Why Essex County basements leak

Much of Windsor-Essex sits on heavy clay soil. Clay holds water and drains slowly, so after a big rain or the spring thaw, water collects against your foundation and pushes in through cracks, tired mortar joints and failed coatings. Sealing the inside can hide the symptoms. Waterproofing the outside deals with the cause.

What our customers say

Reviews from real Bedal's customers

★★★★★
“I can't say enough about the excellent work done by Bedal's for three projects: (1) plastering and painting the disaster that was my bathroom ceiling and walls (2) waterproofing the basement wall exterior (3) putting in a new cement walkway from the sidewalk to the house. The work was prompt, efficient, very neatly done, and everything was discussed up front. Shayne and his crew have tremendous integrity. A special shout-out to Taylor for the foundation and sidewalk work.”

Common questions

Straight answers

The questions we hear most, answered plainly.

More answers in our FAQ →

Is exterior waterproofing better than interior?

Exterior waterproofing keeps water from reaching the wall at all: we dig to the footing, clean the wall, apply Blueskin membrane and Platon dimple board, then backfill and grade away from the house. It's usually the most complete fix for water coming through foundation walls. We'll tell you honestly if a smaller repair will do.

How do you stop basement flooding?

It depends on where the water comes from. Seepage through walls and cracks is fixed from the outside with exterior waterproofing, crack repair and grading. Sewer backups through the floor drain need a licensed plumber. Our Flood Protection page explains the difference.

Water damage inside?

Once the outside is fixed, our sister company Bedal's Plaster & Drywall can repair walls and ceilings.
