/basement-membrane-installation The membrane on the outside face, applied to a wall that has been prepared for it.
A membrane on the exterior face keeps water off the masonry entirely, which is a fundamentally different proposition from managing it once it has arrived. It is the reason exterior work is the permanent answer where the wall itself is the problem.
A membrane is only as good as the wall under it. Cleaning, crack repair and parging happen first. Drainage goes in at the footing, and the trench is backfilled with material that drains rather than holds water against the new membrane.
White chalky residue on block, a musty smell that never clears, cracks that keep growing, rust at the base of appliances, damp patches that darken a day or two after rain, and humidity you can feel. Any sign of water damage or mold is worth an inspection before it becomes structural.
Anywhere from three days to a week, depending on the scope of work and site conditions. You will get a specific timeline with your written scope rather than a guess over the phone.
Yes. Every system we install carries a lifetime labor warranty.
Interior work accepts that water is going to reach the wall, and gives it somewhere to go: a drain at the footing that carries it to a pump instead of onto your floor. Exterior work digs down along the outside of the wall and stops the water before it ever gets there. Interior costs less and is far less disruptive, and it is what most Lexington houses get. Exterior is the answer when the wall itself is the problem. Which one you need comes out of the inspection, not out of a phone call.
