Waterproofing Starts With Understanding How Water Moves.

Across Kentucky, water problems do not always begin where they become visible. Builders of Kentucky™ looks at where water is showing up, how it may be moving around or through the property, and what type of waterproofing or drainage response should be considered.

Start With the Water

Where Is It Showing Up?

Where water appears—and when it appears—can help begin the conversation. You do not need to know the cause or the solution before asking Builders to evaluate the condition.

01

Water Entering the Basement

Visible seepage, damp areas, or water appearing within basement space.

02

Damp or Wet Crawl Space

Moisture or water conditions beneath the home.

03

Water After Heavy Rain

Conditions that become noticeable during or after significant rainfall.

04

Pooling Near the Foundation

Water collecting or remaining around areas close to the structure.

05

Recurring Water Entry

Water repeatedly appearing in the same general area or under similar conditions.

06

Persistent Moisture or Dampness

Ongoing moisture conditions that deserve further evaluation even when active water is not visible.

Basement Waterproofing

When water is entering or affecting a basement, the appropriate response depends on understanding how the water is reaching the space and which conditions need to be addressed.

Additional Waterproofing Capabilities

Crawl Space Waterproofing

Waterproofing and moisture-management solutions for crawl-space conditions.

Exterior Drainage Solutions

Exterior water-management work intended to improve how water moves around vulnerable areas of the property.

French Drains

Drainage systems used to collect and redirect water along an appropriate drainage path.

Sump Pump Installation

Water-collection and removal systems for conditions where collected water needs to be moved away from the structure.

Moisture Protection

Measures intended to help manage persistent moisture conditions within vulnerable property areas.

Water Intrusion Repair

Repair work addressing identified locations or conditions through which water is entering the property.

Understanding the Water Path

Don’t Just Treat Where the Water Appears.

A useful waterproofing evaluation considers the visible condition in the context of how water reaches the property, where it travels, where it collects, and where it ultimately enters or affects the building.

  1. 01

    Where Is the Water Appearing?

    Document the visible water or moisture condition.

  2. 02

    When Does It Happen?

    Consider whether it appears during rainfall, repeatedly, or as a persistent moisture condition.

  3. 03

    How Is Water Moving Around the Property?

    Look at surrounding drainage, grade and related exterior conditions where relevant.

  4. 04

    Where Is It Collecting or Entering?

    Understand where water is reaching, collecting around, or affecting the building.

  5. 05

    What Response Fits the Condition?

    Determine which waterproofing, drainage, collection, repair or moisture-management approach should be considered.

The Larger Property

Waterproofing Supports What Comes Next.

Managing water properly can matter to more than the area where moisture appears. It can influence how you approach the structure, how you plan usable space, and how water is managed around the property.

Waterproofing Knowledge

Questions Before You Decide

Water problems can look simple at first and still involve several different property conditions. Understanding the basics can make the next conversation much more productive.
