You are here: Home / Resources / Home Owner Information Guides Guide 5: Water PenetrationMost wet damp basement, garage, crawl space and lower level conditions could be alleviated with minimum effort and expense. This is due to the fact that most water penetration occurs because its major causes (rain water from the roof and surface water) are not attended to and water accumulates around the perimeter of the house and eventually seeps in. This HouseMaster Information Guide will deal with the causes of water penetration and our recommendations to correct them. The illustration shows some of the basic waterproofing techniques available to the home owner. However, since each house and its individual characteristics vary, a special program or plan of attack should be developed for each. |
