Too many property owners spend thousands on foundation waterproofing when the actual source was a plumbing leak.

The waterproofing trap

Water in the basement? Call a waterproofing company. They'll likely recommend exterior excavation, membrane installation, weeping tile replacement — $10K-$30K. But what if it's actually a cracked underground pipe? Detection first saves you from unnecessary waterproofing.

Real-world example

Homeowner had water in basement after rain. Two waterproofers quoted $15K and $22K for exterior excavation. Our detection found a cracked service line entering at the foundation — $1,200 to repair the pipe, $0 for waterproofing.
