Waterproofing

Waterproofing may be relevant when water is getting into a basement, crawl space, or another part of your home. Use this guide to describe the issue, ask about an assessment, and review a proposed scope of work.

When to ask about waterproofing

Consider asking about waterproofing if you’re dealing with water entering a basement or crawl space, recurring dampness, or water affecting another part of the home. Describe where and when you notice it; don’t assume the right fix before a company has assessed the issue.

What to discuss during an assessment

Ask the company to explain what they’ll inspect, what they think is allowing water in, and how they’ll distinguish the source from the visible effects. Before work is proposed, ask them to walk you through the recommended approach and any parts of the problem that need further evaluation.

Questions to ask before hiring

Ask: What areas will you inspect? What do you believe is causing the water issue, and what supports that assessment? What work is included, and what is not? How will you explain the proposed approach and any limitations? What preparation or access will you need from me?

How to review a proposed scope

Look for a written scope that identifies the areas to be addressed, the work proposed, and any exclusions or unresolved questions. Make sure the company explains how the proposal relates to the water issue you described. Ask for clarification if the cause, approach, or limits of the work are unclear.

Prepare before you contact a company

Note where water or dampness appears, when you notice it, and whether it has happened before. Take photos if they help show the affected area. Write down your questions, then confirm that the company serves your address and handles the type of area you want assessed.
