Well-designed exterior drainage system around a residential property

Exterior Drainage Service in New Hampshire

Water pressure around your foundation causes leaks, cracks, and structural damage over time. An exterior drainage system redirects rainwater and snowmelt away from foundation walls. This reduces hydrostatic pressure and protects basement stability, indoor air quality, and usable living space.

Northeast Basement Solutions installs exterior drainage systems for homes across the New England service area, managing water at its source to protect your foundation. Contact us to schedule our professional service and keep your basement dry year-round.

Exterior Drainage Issues Every Homeowner Should Watch For

A properly functioning exterior drainage system moves water away from your foundation. Effective basement waterproofing adds extra protection against leaks, pressure buildup, and structural damage. Watch for these common warning signs:

Water pooling near the foundation

Standing water after rain suggests exterior drains are blocked or poorly directing runoff away from foundations.

Basement leaks after storms

Water entering during heavy rain indicates exterior drainage is failing to redirect moisture away.

Soil erosion around the home

Washed-out soil shows uncontrolled water flow, damaging grading and drainage paths around the foundation.

Foundation wall staining

Discoloration or damp marks signal prolonged moisture exposure from ineffective exterior drainage.

Cracks forming in walls

Excess hydrostatic pressure stresses walls, leading to visible cracks and shifting over time consistently.

The sump pump installation was done as a first step of a larger basement remodel project. The job was done quickly, done right, and the team made sure to explain what they were doing and why at every step, including a run through of how the system worked and what to expect once it was in. I have since hired Northeast Basement Solutions to do the full project and am having the same good experience thus far. Highest recommendation

Mark and Miguel are A+ professionals! We used Northeast Basement Solutions for a foundation issue in our new home. They not only came in with a very reasonable quote, they started on the project quickly and took the time to educate us on several things we asked about. They were very responsive and communicated every step of the way. We will definitely be calling them for future waterproofing work. Thanks Northeast!

...We had a dark and moldy basement that is now a bright and clean home gym. They removed all the carpeting, moldy drywall, broken doors, old and broken ceiling lights and old and broken ceiling tiles and replaced everything with new and updated materials. They corrected some old, improperly wired electric stuff and insulated spots that were previously lacking insulation...We'll be enjoying this space as we never have before and are really thankful we were able to work with N.E. Basement!
