At the Home Design Studios of Dr. Fix-It, we take a proactive approach to waterproofing. Our goal is not only to fix existing problems but also to prevent future damage. With our expertise, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is protected.

How French Drains Work

French drains are one of the most effective ways to redirect water away from your foundation. By installing a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe, we guide excess water safely away from your home.

Exterior Drainage Solutions to Protect Your Foundation

Protecting Your Foundation
Sometimes the key to keeping your basement dry is controlling water outside. We design and install exterior drainage systems that move rainwater and runoff away from your home’s foundation.

Options for Exterior Drainage

  • Downspout Extensions
  • Grading Adjustments
  • Exterior Waterproof Membranes
  • Surface Drains and Collection Systems

These solutions ensure water is managed before it ever reaches your basement walls.

Interior Waterproofing Solutions

Inside your basement, we use advanced sealants, vapor barriers, and drainage channels to stop leaks and keep the area dry. Sump pump installation is also available to ensure water is automatically removed if it enters.
