Exterior Waterproofing That Protects From the Outside In
Water is relentless—and your foundation needs a system that’s built to stop it. Our exterior waterproofing solutions seal out moisture at the source, keeping basements, crawl spaces, and lower levels dry and protected year after year.
Foundation Exposure, Seamless Barrier Protection & Smart Drainage
At New England Total Landscaping, we take a full-exposure approach to waterproofing. That means we don’t just coat walls—we excavate, inspect, power wash, and apply a high-performance foundation barrier with no seams and full overlap. Then we reinforce it with dimple board and layer in drainage solutions to move water away from your home for good. Whether you’re addressing seepage or proactively protecting a property, our process is detailed, deliberate, and built to last.
Where Water Stays Out and Foundations Stay Sound
We provide exterior waterproofing services throughout Greenwich, Stamford, and surrounding areas. Our process includes everything from hand-dug excavation and barrier application to backfill restoration and foundation drainage integration. Every detail—from sealing wall penetrations to installing footing and mid-wall drains—is designed to eliminate hydrostatic pressure and moisture intrusion at the source.

Stop the Leaks Before They Spread
See What's Happening
We begin with an on-site consultation to understand where water is getting in and how it’s affecting your home. We walk the perimeter with you, identify potential problem areas, and explain how excavation and inspection will confirm what’s going on below grade.
Seal, Protect & Drain
We apply a seamless waterproof membrane, dimple pad if the situation requires it and install the appropriate drainage—whether that’s a footing drain, French drain, or both—to manage water and relieve pressure.
Don't Fear the Rain Again
Once the area is sealed, drained, and backfilled, what you’re left with is more than a dry foundation—it’s peace of mind. No more water creeping in to damage finishes, ruin mechanical systems, or trigger mold growth. Whether it’s a passing storm or a week of heavy rain, your home is protected,
Without cleaning the surface, it’s impossible to truly see what’s wrong. We power wash foundation walls after excavation to expose any cracks, weak spots, or failed coatings—giving us a clear baseline for repair and sealant application.

Contact UsDimple pads create an air gap between the soil and your foundation, helping to relieve pressure and keep groundwater from pushing directly against the wall. We install them over the sealed barrier for added durability and long-term drainage performance.

Contact UsWe install perforated footing drains at the base of the wall to capture water before it rises, and—if needed—add a secondary French drain system mid-wall to manage lateral seepage. All drainage is surrounded in clean stone and filter fabric to prevent clogging.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need exterior waterproofing?
If you’re seeing water in your basement, foundation staining, or dampness along lower walls, your exterior waterproofing may be compromised—or missing entirely. We’ll inspect and let you know what’s needed.
Is this better than interior waterproofing?
Exterior waterproofing stops water before it enters the home. It’s more permanent and effective than interior systems, especially for high-moisture sites or older homes without proper exterior drainage.
How long does it take to complete the project?
Most projects take 3–7 days depending on excavation depth, wall length, and drainage complexity. We’ll give you a detailed schedule during your estimate.
Will I need permits?
Some towns require permits for excavation, drainage work, or near-property-line digging. We handle all local permit applications and inspections as needed.
Can the area be landscaped again after?
Yes. Once backfilled and compacted, we can restore beds, sod, or hardscape surfaces—or coordinate that work as part of a larger landscaping plan.
