Project date: February 2025
Location: Ridgefield, Washington
The Challenge
The homeowner was looking forward to finishing the basement of their 1925 Craftsman-style home but understood the importance of protecting their investment with a reliable waterproofing system. This project was a unique situation for us in the Northwest, as the home had a terracotta block foundation. The homeowners were worried an inexperienced basement waterproofing company would ruin the unique terracotta foundation.
Our Solution
Knowing that most major waterproofing companies have shifted to simply capturing moisture rather than truly drying out the soil, this homeowner let Better Basements and Waterproofing earn their business with a full perimeter drainage system. This approach is ideal for the unique Terracotta foundation because it dries out the soil that is pressing up against it, protecting it for another hundred years!
