Any product and/or procedure available that involves less than full depth exterior excavation, formal drainage sysem or full waterproofing?

I think they drilled holes near the foundation, pumped a fluid bentonite in, under the theory that it would seek to fill the voids between foundation and fill, then swell to fill the cracks. If I come across the company name and link tonight on my computer at home, I'll post it here.

After proper prep, we installed it on the interior of the masonry foundation when the walls were dry. So far has worked pretty well for several years. Don't recall if they require dry walls or if they can be damp. Ronald L.

Thanks.
