Foundation waterproofing and masonry in Essex, Harrow and Colchester
The Town of Essex takes in Essex Centre, Harrow, Colchester and the eastern part of McGregor, from farmland to the Lake Erie shore. We serve the whole town with exterior waterproofing, crack repair and masonry, from farmhouses to in-town homes.
How we protect Essex basements
Water that comes through foundation walls and cracks is seepage, and it's fixed from the outside. Here's what we do:
- Exterior waterproofing: we dig to the footing, clean the wall, apply Blueskin membrane and Platon dimple board, then backfill and grade away from the house.
- Drainage: weeping tile replacement, window wells and grading so water moves away from the foundation.
- Crack repair: from interior injection to exterior digs.
Sewer backups through the floor drain are a different problem, handled by a licensed plumber with devices like backwater valves. At a free site visit, we'll tell you honestly whether you likely need waterproofing, a plumber, or both.
Older farmhouses and rural foundations
Many homes around Harrow and Colchester have older block or stone foundations and long runs of exposed wall. Parging, pointing and stone repair often go hand in hand with waterproofing there. We'll tell you which jobs matter now and which can wait.
