Exterior waterproofing has proven so critical to ensuring the safety and longevity of a home or commercial building, it is a legal requirement for any new builds. The most common cause of basement moisture is pressure from outside elements, and exterior waterproofing can mitigate the damage caused by weather, temperature changes, pests and rodents, rogue tree roots, and all the other forces trying to weaken your foundation.
