Basement waterproofing in Montgomery
What Montgomery homes mean for basement waterproofing
Montgomery pairs a small 1830s-1900s historic core on stone foundations with extensive 1960s-1980s subdivision housing on poured or block basements, and the historic-core buildings are the harder water problem because the foundation wall itself, not just a crack in it, is what is letting water through. A stone foundation like that generally needs a full wall drainage membrane behind an interior drain system rather than a targeted crack repair, since there is no single defect to seal. The subdivision-era homes behave more predictably, with water usually entering at the cove joint or a shrinkage crack in an otherwise sound poured or block wall.
