Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Exterior Waterproofing Secures Jackson, TN Home from Persistent Water Intrusion
Matthew C. of Jackson, TN had just settled into his newly purchased home when he noticed water intrusion along the rear wall, stretching from the kitchen area downward. Though a previous attempt had been made to seal the wall from the outside, it failed to resolve the issue. As the only section of the home below grade, this area was especially prone to water problems. Wanting to protect his investment, Matthew reached out to us for a long-lasting solution.
We determined that an exterior waterproofing system would be the most effective fix. The project involved creating a proper drainage path that wrapped around the stairs, continued down the walkway, and exited at the driveway. With this solution, water is now directed safely away from the home’s foundation. Thanks to Matthew’s profession as a dump truck driver, he had easy access to the exact type of rock already used on the property, which he was able to supply and deliver affordably—keeping the project cohesive and cost-efficient.
Matthew and his wife, who works remotely and sometimes commutes to Nashville, were incredibly easy to work with throughout the process. Their clear communication and flexibility helped the project move along smoothly. With the exterior system now in place, their new home is better protected against future water damage.
