Stop Water Before It Gets In

At G&J Waterproofing, we believe in tackling water problems at the source. Exterior waterproofing is one of the most effective ways to prevent water from entering your home. By treating the outside of your basement or foundation, we create a long-lasting protective barrier that keeps your home dry—no matter the weather.

Bowing walls occur when excessive lateral pressure from the soil outside your home pushes against the foundation walls. Common causes include:

• Hydrostatic pressure from water buildup around the foundation
   
• Poor exterior drainage or clogged gutters
   
• Expansive or shifting soil conditions
   
• Lack of reinforcement in aging or improperly constructed walls
   

Over time, this pressure causes walls to crack, bow inward, or even fail entirely if not addressed.

Look out for the following warning signs:

• Horizontal or stair-step cracks in basement walls
   
• Walls that bulge, lean, or curve inward
   
• Moisture seeping through cracked walls
   
• Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows
   
• Gaps between floors and walls
   

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait—early intervention is critical to avoid costly repairs down the line.

At G&J Waterproofing, we offer proven repair systems that are designed to last. Based on your home’s unique needs, our services may include:
