Expertise in Exterior Foundation Waterproofing and Excavation

With decades of hands-on experience in the Pittsburgh region, our team understands the unique soil conditions and weather patterns that threaten local foundations.

Accurate Assessment for Necessary Full Excavation

Accurate Assessment for Necessary Full Excavation

Not every foundation problem requires the same approach. Our specialists conduct a thorough on-site evaluation to determine the exact scope of excavation needed identifying crack patterns, hydrostatic pressure points, and drainage deficiencies before any work begins, so you only pay for what your home actually requires.

Professional Installation Using Durable Materials

Our crews apply industrial-grade waterproofing membranes, drainage boards, and sealants designed to withstand the freeze-thaw cycles common in Western Pennsylvania. Every material is selected for long-term durability, and every installation follows strict quality standards to ensure maximum protection against moisture infiltration.

Long-Term Protection by Addressing Water at the Source

Long-Term Protection by Addressing Water at the Source

Unlike interior-only solutions that manage water after it enters your basement, exterior excavation waterproofing stops water before it ever reaches your foundation walls. By combining proper drainage, membrane protection, and soil grading, we eliminate the root cause of water intrusion giving your home lasting, comprehensive defense against moisture damage.

We bought a house, it's Pittsburgh, it's built into the side of a hill, and water is coming into our basement. EverDry waterproofing put in an interior French drain, waterproofed the walls, installed an EZ breeze air filter, and did exterior waterproofing as well. Four days of good work (Wed Aug 19, Thursday Aug 20, Friday Aug 21, and Monday Aug 24). Corey (the foreman) and his team did a great job and we're very pleased with the results. Looking forward to having a finished basement!

I just had some warranty repair work done and was very pleased with the work that Cory and Owen performed. They were here for 3 days and explained in detail what the issues were and how they were going to resolve them. I would recommend Everydry for your waterproofing needs.

I had waterproofing work done by Everdry of Pittsburgh years ago, and for the most part, everything has been perfect ever since. Recently, I thought I was having water problems again, so I called them to take a look. Thankfully, it turned out to be just a leaky pipe rather than a structural issue. Their customer service and willingness to come out and inspect the situation gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend their team and their lifetime support!

Step 1: Schedule Your On Site Evaluation

A waterproofing specialist visits your Pittsburgh home, reviews your water issues, and inspects the exterior foundation, grading, and drainage.

Our crew carefully excavates the soil down to the footing along the affected walls. We expose the exterior foundation so we can access cracks, failing coatings, and drainage issues without disturbing more of your property than necessary.

Step 4: Repair, Seal, And Install Drainage

We clean and repair the exposed foundation walls, inject or patch cracks, and apply heavy duty waterproof coatings and protective membranes.

Step 5: Backfill, Restore, And Review

We backfill with the right materials for drainage, compact the soil, and rake out the work area so it is ready for final landscaping.

FAQS

FAQs About Exterior Foundation Repair in Pittsburgh

Costs vary widely based on the extent of damage, access to the foundation, and whether structural reinforcement is required. Severe deterioration or bowing walls usually increase the price because more excavation and materials are needed. A detailed on site inspection is the only reliable way to estimate your specific project cost.
Most residential projects take several days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the home and how extensive the exterior excavation and repairs are. Severe damage, buried utilities, or difficult access can extend the timeline. Weather conditions in Pittsburgh can also affect how quickly exterior work can be completed.
Exterior foundation repair addresses water at the source by working on the outside of the foundation, improving drainage and protecting the wall before moisture enters. Interior systems mainly manage water after it has already reached the basement. For severe structural damage or long term deterioration, exterior repair combined with reinforcement is often the more comprehensive approach.
Many exterior foundation projects require permits, especially if excavation, structural reinforcement, or significant drainage changes are involved. Local building departments in Pittsburgh typically review plans to ensure safety and code compliance. Contractors usually handle the permitting process, but homeowners should confirm what is required for their property.
After installation, homeowners should keep exterior drainage paths clear, maintain gutters and downspouts, and ensure grading continues to slope away from the foundation. Sump pumps and backup systems, if installed, should be tested regularly and serviced according to manufacturer guidelines. Periodic visual checks for new cracks or moisture help catch any emerging issues early.
