Waterproofing in Atherton, CA

Atherton properties tend to include exactly the elements that demand serious waterproofing: subterranean garages, finished basements, wine cellars, extensive hardscape, and large landscaped planters sitting directly against structure. Each of those is a long-term water contact point, and each one fails expensively when the original detailing was rushed.

Planters are the single most common source of interior staining we find on estate properties. Saturated soil holds water against the wall for months, and without a membrane rated for continuous contact plus a working drainage layer, that water eventually finds the interior. We rebuild the assembly properly — membrane, root barrier, protection, drainage — rather than coating over the symptom.

Work on these properties is scheduled around the household and coordinated with landscape and general contractors already on site. Mature planting, irrigation, and hardscape are protected throughout, and the site is left clean at the end of every working day.
