About Us
About Us at Foundation Waterproofing 101: With over 20 years of engineering and field experience, our team provides expert foundation repair, drainage solutions, and forensic waterproofing services across Florida. Founded and led by licensed water hydraulics engineer Jeff Earl, we provide science-based waterproofing and structural protection—not guesswork.
Over the past 2 decades, our team has completed 1,000+ foundation and drainage installations and conducted 3,500+ on-site inspections across 40+ Florida cities. Every project is guided by engineering-certified designs, moisture diagnostics, and site-specific calculations to ensure long-term performance and code compliance.
About Us
About Us: Why Florida Homeowners Trust Foundation Waterproofing 101
Expertise in Florida’s Geology & Water Tables
Florida’s conditions—high water tables, porous limestone/karst formations, and seasonal hydrostatic pressure—demand precise engineering. We integrate field data with authoritative resources such as the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS),
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and
FEMA Building Science Technical Bulletins.
This scientific foundation informs our groundwater management, drainage design, and structural reinforcement strategies.
Forensic Engineering Approach
About us, We identify root causes—not just symptoms. Our forensic engineering process pairs site investigation with moisture content testing, elevation and settlement mapping, and hydrostatic load analysis. The result is an evidence‑based scope of work trusted by homeowners, insurers, property managers, and legal teams.

Our Mission
Our mission is to protect the safety, value, and longevity of your property. Whether you’re facing rising groundwater, hydrostatic pressure, or foundation settlement, Foundation Waterproofing 101 combines scientific studies, forensic analysis, and 20+ years of proven practice to deliver accurate, durable, and cost‑effective solutions.
With over 20 years of field and engineering experience, our team has conducted more than 3,500 detailed inspections and completed 1,000+ foundation and drainage systems across Florida. This hands-on history gives us a rare perspective on the state’s unique geological challenges, from high water tables to porous limestone soils and seasonal flood pressures. Each project benefits from proven engineering standards and forensic evaluation, ensuring our solutions are not only effective today but remain reliable for decades. The result is a reputation for precision, durability, and trust built on measurable results and science-driven design.
Proper foundation waterproofing is more than protection against leaks—it is critical to the long-term stability and health of a structure. Studies show that over 60% of homes in Florida experience measurable moisture intrusion within the first 10 years if left unprotected. Excess humidity and water seepage not only accelerate concrete and steel deterioration by up to 40% faster, but also create conditions for mold growth that can reduce indoor air quality by 30% or more. By investing in engineered waterproofing, property owners extend structural lifespan by decades, preserve real estate value, and protect occupant health. At Foundation Waterproofing 101, every system is designed with these measurable outcomes in mind—ensuring you receive solutions backed by numbers, science, and proven field performance.
Why Waterproofing Matters in Florida
Florida is one of the most water-challenged states in the U.S. With 80% of homes impacted by high groundwater levels and an average of 54 inches of annual rainfall, foundation waterproofing is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Hydrostatic pressure from rising groundwater can cause cracks, settlement, and seepage, while untreated moisture intrusion accelerates building material deterioration by up to 40% faster. The long-term cost of ignoring these problems can be 3–5x higher than proactive waterproofing, making early investment the most cost-effective strategy.
Who We Serve
Foundation Waterproofing 101 works with a wide range of clients. Residential homeowners rely on us for basement waterproofing, crawlspace protection, and slab moisture control. Property managers turn to our engineering-driven methods to protect multi-family and commercial properties, while legal and insurance professionals depend on our forensic inspection reports in cases of property disputes, damage claims, and code compliance. Each project is backed by more than 20 years of data-driven experience and results you can trust.
Our Values & Warranty Commitment
What sets us apart is more than our technical expertise—it’s our commitment to transparency, durability, and accountability. Every waterproofing system we install is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty, ensuring that homeowners not only gain immediate protection but also long-term value when selling their property. We believe that waterproofing is not just about fixing today’s leak, but about preserving tomorrow’s safety, health, and property value.
Our Promise to Florida Property Owners
At Foundation Waterproofing 101, we believe that protecting your structure from water damage is about more than keeping it dry — it’s about safeguarding your investment and your family’s safety for decades. Every inspection and repair we perform is directed by Jeff Earl, our founder and licensed water hydraulics engineer, whose 20+ years of field and engineering experience shape every solution we provide. We do not send salesmen; we send the expert who will analyze, design, and stand behind the work.
Our engineering-led approach means each project begins with detailed site analysis: we evaluate moisture content, soil behavior, hydrostatic pressure, and structural integrity. Using data from the USGS, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and FEMA technical resources, we design systems that manage groundwater, stabilize foundations, and meet or exceed Florida’s demanding codes. This science-driven process results in repairs and waterproofing systems that last — not quick fixes that fail when the next storm season hits.
We’ve completed thousands of inspections and installations across Florida’s diverse geology, from porous limestone and sinkhole-prone areas to coastal sites exposed to salt and storm surge. Homeowners, property managers, legal teams, and insurers trust our forensic reports and engineering documentation when long-term performance and accountability matter most. Every installation is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty, giving peace of mind to current and future property owners. When you work with Foundation Waterproofing 101, you’re choosing proven expertise, transparent communication, and solutions engineered to protect your structure for the long haul.
