Advanced waterproofing with curtain grouting.
Persistent water infiltration through foundation walls, basements, and underground structures is a serious issue that can lead to mold, structural decay, and property damage. Often, traditional waterproofing fails because it only addresses the interior surface. At Mixan Mudjacking, we provide curtain grouting—an advanced, non-invasive waterproofing solution that creates a protective “curtain” of sealant on the exterior of your foundation wall, right where the water meets the structure. This specialized process allows us to stop leaks at the source without the immense cost and disruption of excavating your yard or commercial landscaping.
What is curtain grouting?
Curtain grouting is a highly technical waterproofing method used to seal the exterior side of below-grade structures. The process involves drilling a small grid of holes through the foundation wall from the inside. We then inject a specialized, water-reactive grout through these holes. Once the material reaches the exterior soil-to-wall interface, it expands and cures into a flexible, impermeable membrane or “curtain.” This membrane bonds to the outside of the wall, filling voids in the soil and sealing any cracks or joints in the concrete. The result is a seamless waterproof shield that keeps your interior space dry and secure.
The Mixan Curtain Grouting Process.
Curtain grouting is an exacting science that requires specialized equipment and a deep understanding of hydraulic pressure and material behavior. A common mistake in the industry is improper hole spacing or insufficient material volume, which can leave gaps in the waterproof curtain. At Mixan Mudjacking, our process is built on nearly two decades of structural experience. We carefully map out the injection grid based on the specific geometry of your foundation to ensure 100% coverage. We monitor the injection pressure in real-time, ensuring the grout penetrates the soil and seals every possible entry point for water.
Infiltration Assessment
We identify the specific areas of water penetration and evaluate the soil conditions around your structure.
Precision Injection Mapping
We mark a grid of small-diameter injection points to ensure the “curtain” is continuous and gap-free.
High-Pressure Grout Injection
We pump the specialized waterproofing grout through the wall, monitoring the curing process as it forms the exterior barrier.
Technical Sealing & Cleanup
We seal all internal injection points and ensure your interior space is clean and ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. One of the primary benefits is that it is performed from the inside. We drill through the wall to create the barrier on the outside, leaving your landscaping intact.
Yes. The grouts we use are designed to be chemically stable and flexible, allowing them to provide a long-term waterproof seal even with minor soil movement.
Yes, curtain grouting is effective on a variety of foundation types, including poured concrete, block, and stone, as long as the structure is stable.
If you have widespread seepage or moisture through the wall itself rather than just a single visible crack, curtain grouting is often the superior solution.
We use specialized grouts that are safe for use in contact with soil and groundwater once they have cured.
