Exterior Waterproofing for Genesee Depot homes
Genesee Depot is a small hamlet in the Town of Genesee, best known as the home of Ten Chimneys, the historic Lunt-Fontanne estate. The houses around the old depot area are few and mostly older, and the people who own them tend to love them for their character: original stonework, old porches, trim and plantings that have been there for decades. Keeping that intact matters. So does keeping the basement dry, because an old foundation sitting in wet clay slowly works itself loose.
Older foundations here were often laid in fieldstone or early block, with drainage that was simple at best. After enough spring thaws, you see the signs: mortar washing out between stones, damp patches, a line of water at the floor. Exterior waterproofing lets us repair the wall from the outside and seal it while the finished rooms inside stay untouched. For an older home you want to keep original, that's often the gentlest way to fix water.
We plan the dig around what makes the house special. Porches, steps and plantings along the wall get protected or carefully set aside. We excavate to the footing, repoint and repair the wall, then apply a liquid waterproof membrane, dimple board, new weeping tile in washed gravel, and graded backfill. Nick or Luis will walk the property with you before anything is quoted. When the Town of Genesee requires a permit, we pull it.
