Photo Album: Leitchfield, KY Basement Waterproofing After Basement Finishing Attempt

Basement waterproofing is a must if you plan to finish your Leitchfield, KY basement. Why? Groundwater and rainwater intrusion occurs in a high percentage of homes in our area due to the higher moisture and silty clay soil present here. Did you know that concrete actually wicks moisture through it, sort of like a sponge left on the counter half in a bowl of water. The sponge will actually suck up the moisture, just like the concrete, and allow it to leak out. The best way to stop this basement flooding and save lots of headache is to waterproof the basement with an interior drainage system before finishing it. Ever wonder what happens if you finish your basement and then it floods? Check out our photo album...
