Guard your home against water intrusion by investing in an exterior waterproofing system by Affordable Foundation. Exterior waterproofing is designed to stop water from accumulating around the foundation. Since water takes the path of the least resistant, water can flow into your basement especially if you have cracks in your basement walls. Another way water enters is from concrete. Since concrete is porous, it absorbs water and evaporates moisture inside of the home. If you have moisture in your basement, let our team of experts install an effective exterior waterproofing system to protect your investment in the Huntsville, AL area.

Without exterior waterproofing, your basement can encounter major problems such as structural damage and foundation failure which can significantly reduce the value of your home. Wet basements can also cause health and respiratory issues due to mold exposure.
Exterior waterproofing consists of several components such as a waterproofing membrane, drainage board, drain pipe, sump pump and a drain pipe fitting. All of these components work together to create a long-lasting barrier against moisture and water leaks.
