Waterproofing means different work depending on where the water is. Pick the part of the house, or call and describe the problem to an independent local waterproofing company.

Under the house
Many houses around Kingsport sit over a crawl space. The three pages below run from the lightest job to the most complete.
- Crawl space vapor barrier
When plastic on the soil is enough, and when it is not.
- Crawl space encapsulation
Liner, sealed vents and a dehumidifier, in the right order.
- Crawl space repair
Standing water, fallen insulation, damp wood and soft floors.
In the basement
Start with the wet basement page if you do not yet know where the water comes from. The others each cover one kind of fix.
- Wet basement
Four sources of basement water and how to tell which one you have.
- Basement leak repair
Sealing the one place water comes through: a crack, a pipe opening, a window well.
- Basement waterproofing
Inside drains, wall barriers and a pump for a basement that takes in water.
- Sump pump installation
Basin, pump, battery backup and a discharge that ends in the right place.
Outside the walls
Water kept away from the foundation never has to be dealt with inside. These two jobs happen in the yard.
- Yard drainage and French drains
Gutters, grading and drains that keep rain away from the foundation.
- Exterior waterproofing
Digging down, coating the wall from outside and draining the footing.
What is not covered
Waterproofing keeps water out over the long run. Pumping out a flooded room and drying it is water damage work, a leaking supply pipe is plumbing, and a leaking roof is roofing. Each of those is a different trade.
