The inspection, step by step

First, we listen.
Then we look.

Allow about 60–90 minutes for a free inspection. Someone who knows the house should be there. We agree on a time before visiting.

Ondrake Waterproofing

A calm look
at a frustrating problem.

We work in Maple Crossing and within 20 miles. We want you to understand what we found, where the limits of the inspection are and what we recommend next.

If our workmanship needs attention after a job, tell us so we can review it with you.

Before we arrive

Clear a path to the affected wall and any sump pit. Have notes about when water appears; photos from a previous rain can help. No need to recreate the leak.

  1. Hear what happened.

    We ask where you saw water, when it appeared and whether it followed rain or melting snow.

  2. Look outside and below.

    We check accessible gutters, downspout routes, ground slope, visible cracks and the floor edge. We look at any existing drain or sump equipment. The visit does not include opening walls or floors.

  3. Explain the findings.

    You get written observations, any limits on what we could see and the options worth considering. If we recommend work, the quote lists the scope, price and preparation. No obligation to book.

Planning in November 2026

Keep the spring thaw in mind.

We inspect year-round when access allows. Snow and frozen soil can conceal outside conditions; some findings may need another look after the thaw. Tell us about recurring spring water now so there is time to plan for spring 2027.
