Exterior drainage systems are designed to stop water before it ever reaches your foundation. By excavating around the home, installing drain tile, and applying waterproof membranes, water is directed away from the foundation walls and into a safe discharge point.
This system is especially useful for homes with poor exterior grading, heavy rainfall, or frequent flooding. While more invasive than interior systems, exterior drainage provides a permanent line of defense against hydrostatic pressure and water intrusion.
Exterior drainage is a more extensive process, but it provides the strongest protection against water intrusion. Our team carefully excavates the soil around your foundation, installs a full drainage system, and applies modern waterproof membranes.
Once backfilled, the system ensures that rainwater and groundwater are directed away from your home – before it ever touches your basement walls.

It prevents water from ever reaching your foundation walls by redirecting it away before infiltration can occur.
Because excavation is required around the foundation, landscaping, walkways, or driveways may need restoration after the system is installed.
No. In many cases, interior systems are sufficient. Exterior systems are ideal for homes with severe water intrusion or failing original waterproofing.
Yes. By directing water away from the foundation, exterior drainage reduces erosion that can weaken soil support and cause uneven settling.
Absolutely. In regions like Western Washington, where saturated soils are common, exterior systems provide an extra layer of defense against chronic leaks.
If you see pooling water outside, damp landscaping, or major seepage after storms, exterior drainage may be the right solution. Our inspections help determine the best fit.

Posted on Julie CarlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had them come out to my house to look at an issue of water seeping into my garage which is built into a hill. For reasons that have nothing to do with them, I didn't end up getting the work done. However of the four companies I had look at it, R&R's assessment was easily the most thorough. They are the only one that did any significant inspection outside of the building rather than just inside the garage and their prices were comparable to the other companies I checked out.Posted on Andrew HarpsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had R and R do some work on our older home that needed an update to the crawl space foundation posts a few years back. Work was accomplished in a timely and professional manner. Now in 2025, we are selling our home in a slow market and want to upgrade. We need to show the new buyers the application to transfer the foundation warranty ahead of the inspection in a few days as a show of good will to close the home. R and R's marketing manager, Jordan, was able to accomplish this promptly within one day for us and really set us up well to help close our home. While the foundation repair was important, it was years later, being able to connect with R and R again, and show the new buyers the work they had done and that it was done by a reputable company, that helped seal the deal.Posted on Christine FreitasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Tony from R&R Foundation Specialist evaluated my home. He was very nice and thorough. He measured the foundation for settlement and checked the craw space for support brackets. I reccommend using R&R.Posted on Justin HolmesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. R&R anchored our failing retaining wall and repaired the cracks with carbon fiber straps. Professional work done on time and within budget. I highly recommend! Thank youPosted on Shulan ThurmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called R&R to schedule an inspection to see if my home is seismic safe and if any retrofit work is needed. Darian arrived earlier than scheduled, did an inspection, told us that our home is 100% earthquake proof and pointed out to us where the existing reinforcements are etc., and he didn’t even charge us for the inspection. Darian’s honesty is a good representation of the company’s trustworthiness and integrity and I would trust them for any work needed.Posted on Angela RouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
