Dug out. Sealed. Drained.
The full exterior process, from the first bucket of clay to the last of the gravel backfill. No interior channels, no pump to maintain.
Free inspection first, then a written number.
Almost every company in Middle Georgia sells the one on the right. It is faster, it is cheaper to install, and it never touches the reason the water is there.
Their own words for it, and ours: we are real excavation experts, not patchwork fixers. Digging is harder, slower and more disruptive than drilling a hole in your slab. It is also the only version that removes the cause.
Membrane on the outside face, drain at the footing, gravel to keep it moving. Dry by design, not by machine.
Once the wall is exposed, the outer face gets a waterproof membrane and a protective coating. This is the layer that actually stops penetration. It only works on the outside, which is why the trench comes first.

A drain line at the footing takes water away from the house instead of letting it stand against the wall. Gravel backfill keeps the flow moving rather than trapping water in clay.

Cracks get repaired while the wall is open and reachable. Doing this from inside means working against the pressure instead of removing it.

No step gets dropped to hit a price. If your house does not need one, it comes off the quote and we tell you why.
We dig to the footing and expose the problem instead of guessing at it.
The foundation wall gets a waterproof membrane on its outer face.
A durable coating shields the wall from moisture for the long haul.
Cracks get closed while the wall is open and reachable.
Drainage at the footing takes water away from the house.
Gravel keeps the flow moving instead of trapping water against the wall.
Joists and girders damaged by moisture get repaired or replaced.
Surface mold in the crawlspace gets cleaned as part of the job.
Warrantied workmanship, in writing, on every exterior waterproofing job. A promise you can read beats a paragraph about how much we care.
Get it in writingGRC states "warrantied workmanship" and does not publish a term. Bear North has deliberately left this blank rather than invent a number. Confirm the real term and it drops straight in.
An interior system does not stop water. It lets water come through the wall, catches it at the floor and pumps it back out. That leaves the wall wet, the hydrostatic pressure unchanged and your dry basement dependent on a pump and the power staying on. Exterior work removes the cause.
Clay holds water and swells. Around here that means a foundation sits in saturated soil for days after a storm and the pressure pushes water through any joint or crack it can find. That is why the fix belongs outside the wall, in the soil, not inside on the floor.
No, and we do not pretend otherwise. We clean surface mold in crawlspaces with a three step process. Remediation is a separate licensed scope. If what you have needs remediation, we will tell you that instead of selling you a cleaning.
Yes. Churches, historic buildings and commercial property are a regular part of the work, alongside houses. Older foundations usually need the exterior approach more than newer ones do.
Nothing. Estimates are free and the inspection comes with a plain explanation of what we found and what your options are, including the option to do nothing yet.
All of Middle Georgia. Nineteen cities and seventeen counties, from Macon out to Dublin and Greensboro.
Free inspection, an honest explanation of what we find, and a written quote. If it does not need exterior work, we will say so.
