Foundation Waterproofing & Water Management
Protect Your Home From Moisture Intrusion
Waterproofing your foundation is one of the most important steps in preventing long-term structural damage. When moisture enters a foundation or basement, it can lead to foundation leaks, basement leaks, mold growth, poor indoor air quality, wood rot, and costly structural repairs.
Homeowners in New Braunfels and surrounding Central Texas areas often don't realize how quickly water intrusion can compromise the stability of their home. Addressing moisture early protects your foundation, improves air quality, and increases your home's value.
FiveStar Foundation & Construction provides professional waterproofing, drainage correction, and moisture control solutions designed to stop water at the source and keep your home protected year-round.
Whether you need exterior foundation waterproofing, or an interior waterproofing system, we got you covered. Schedule your free waterproofing estimate today!

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing
Exterior Foundation Waterproofing stops water before it ever enters your home. This method protects the foundation wall from direct moisture penetration.
How Exterior Foundation Waterproofing Works:
- A trench is excavated along the foundation or basement wall
- The wall is cleaned and cracks are sealed with correct sealant (using the wrong sealant can weaken concrete by pulling lime from the wall)
- A high-quality moisture barrier and dimple board are installed to block water intrusion
- A French drain system is added using dual 4" perforated PVC pipes wrapped in protective sleeve
- The drain system directs water to a sump pit
- A sump pump removes water from the pit and discharges it safely away from the home
This system prevents water from seeping through the foundation wall and ensures proper drainage during heavy rains. Protect your home from moisture damage with trusted, professional waterproofing solutions and call now for a free estimate.
Interior Water Management Systems
An interior waterproofing system is used after water has already entered the structure. The method of water management varies depending on the type of foundation.
For Monolithic Slab Foundations:
- Wall is cleaned and cracks are sealed with correct sealant
- A vapor barrier and wall shield are installed to capture moisture
- A baseboard drain system is installed along the interior wall
- Drains direct water to sump pit
- A sump pump removes water through PVC discharge lines
For Non-Monolithic Basement Foundations:
- A narrow concrete breakout is created along the basement wall
- Wall is cleaned and cracks are sealed
- A vapor barrier and wall shield are installed
- An interior water-guard drainage system is placed on top of the footer
- Drains lead to a sump pit beneath the basement floor
- Concrete is poured back and finished
- A sump pump removes water to the designated discharge area
Both systems allow homeowners to finish their basement after installation—including drywall, flooring, and living space upgrades. We provide full waterproofing, drainage, and moisture control solutions—schedule your free inspection today!
