Water intrusion is one of the most common and costly problems homeowners face. What starts as minor moisture can quickly turn into serious damage, affecting your foundation, basement, and entire property. At Parks’ Waterproofing, proudly serving Winston-Salem and Western North Carolina, we specialize in comprehensive drainage and waterproofing solutions designed to protect your home from the ground up.

How Water Damage Impacts Your Property

Excess water around your home doesn’t just go away. It finds its way inside or weakens structures over time. Without proper drainage, even small amounts of water can lead to major issues.

Common problems caused by water intrusion include:

  • Flooded or damp basements
  • Foundation cracks and structural damage
  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Soil erosion and landscaping damage
  • Increased repair and maintenance costs

According to industry data, water damage and freezing account for nearly 30% of all homeowner insurance claims, highlighting how widespread and expensive these issues can be.

Why Proper Drainage Is Essential

The key to preventing water damage is controlling how water moves around your property. Poor grading, clogged gutters, or inadequate drainage systems can allow water to collect near your foundation.

Effective drainage solutions help:

  • Direct water away from your home
  • Reduce hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls
  • Prevent standing water and pooling
  • Protect landscaping and outdoor features

Addressing these issues early can save homeowners thousands of dollars in future repairs.

Custom Ground-Level Drainage Solutions

At Parks’ Waterproofing, we take a tailored approach to every property. With over 30 years of experience, we design drainage systems that address the specific needs of your home and landscape.

Our ground-level solutions may include:

  • Grading and re-sloping to ensure proper water flow
  • French drains to redirect groundwater away from the foundation
  • Surface drainage systems to manage runoff effectively

These systems work together to keep water moving away from your home, reducing the risk of intrusion and damage.

Gutter Systems That Work with Your Drainage Plan

Your gutters and downspouts play a critical role in managing roof runoff. When they’re not functioning properly, water can overflow and collect near your foundation.

We evaluate and optimize gutter systems to:

  • Ensure proper water flow away from the home
  • Prevent overflow and pooling
  • Integrate seamlessly with ground drainage solutions

A well-designed system protects your home from top to bottom.

Parks’ Free-Flowing Waterproofing System

For maximum protection, we offer our Park’s Free-Flowing Waterproofing System, a multi-layered approach designed to keep moisture out and your foundation secure.

This advanced system includes:

  • A durable waterproofing membrane
  • Termite-treated insulation board
  • High-quality filter fabric
  • A four-inch wall of washed stone for drainage
  • Additional layers that promote continuous water flow away from your foundation

This combination creates a powerful barrier against water intrusion while allowing proper drainage around your foundation.

A Thorough, Proven Process

What sets Parks’ Waterproofing apart is our commitment to doing the job right. We don’t just install systems—we carefully evaluate your entire property to ensure long-term success.

Our process includes:

  • A detailed inspection of your home’s perimeter

  • Professional installation with lasting results

Our goal is to ensure your drainage system is 100% effective, giving you peace of mind no matter the weather.

I cannot say enough about Jody and his team of guys. Do yourself a favor and call them, but if you have other jobs schedule them last because they will set the bar so high everyone else will fall short. Jody himself came out a few times, and would text and call during the entire job checking in and making sure everything was going well. My house was actually a negative grade and they had to regrade all around the house, install a dehumidifier in the crawl space, installed new gutters and drains in the yard…they did so well I kept adding jobs! I have never come across this level of professionalism in this industry. I would call them again in a heartbeat!

Bryan B.

Jody saved us a ton of money by quickly and accurately diagnosing our wet basement issue as simply under-sized gutters. Instead of digging around the foundation and waterproofing, they installed new gutters, downspouts and drain lines, and our basement is now dry. Honest, professional, experienced, reasonably priced - give him a call before you have anyone start a waterproofing jobs you might not need.

Gail & Casey B.

We are pleased with the job at Granite Falls, NC. 5 star! The basement is dry and condensation is gone, bright white covering. The dehumidifier is hard at work, again thank you. The gutters are redirecting the rain waters. God bless you.

Debbie & Dave V.

We hired Parks’ Waterproofing to address a moisture issue in the basement of our log home in Buck Mountain. We were convinced during our initial meeting with Jody to go with his company based on the Waterproofing Lifetime Guarantee offered and other services his company provides such as hardscaping & landscaping. During the course of our waterproofing project and as we began to experience and appreciate the high quality of workmanship, we solicited Jody for ideas to expand the scope of the work into hardscaping and landscaping. As our confidence in Jody grew, we allowed him to incorporate his vision for our property that included a patio, a fire ring, retaining walls and walkways. His attention to planning and detail were impeccable. His cost-saving ideas were also much appreciated. Just as important to us was the professionalism of his field staff; they were extremely courteous and respectful of our property. The end result is spectacular; the quality of materials used and the fit and finish not only met but exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with and proud of our new hardscape and landscape features, and of course the waterproofing system is working; keeping our basement dry and devoid of humidity. We recommend Parks’ Waterproofing to anyone.

I would highly recommend Parks' Waterproofing for any work I had for them to do. Jody was good about coming to my home and looking at what was going on with water getting into my basement. Come to find out that had a bad down spout. Jody was good enough to show me this and the problem was an easy fix. Jody made a 40 mile trip and would not let me pay him. Thank you Jody.

Kara M.

We were having water in our basement every time it rained hard. We feared the worst, and called Parks’ Waterproofing for an estimate. After inspecting our basement, Jody told us that the issue was a $10 pipe that we could replace ourselves. He could have tried to sell us an expensive system that we didn’t need but he was honest. We are grateful for this honest business.

Matt R.

As a real estate agent in the Triad, I can tell you that many major issues found in homes originate from improper water management. The first time I met with the Parks' Waterproofing, I could tell that they were the real deal. This team really knows their stuff! Parks' Waterproofing installed their patented, lifetime warranty, free-flowing waterproofing system around the entire perimeter of a family member's house to prevent water under the house, which was causing a huge mold problem. I have also used Parks' Waterproofing to install below grade drainage for my gutter system, plus, adding a catch basin under my deck, and grading. They did an amazing job! 5/5, highly recommended to anyone!

Greg G.

If you are having water problems in your basement or house...CALL PARKS WATERPROOFING! Jody listens, takes detailed notes, then lays out a plan of attack to eliminate the issue. We made the mistake of hiring a General Contractor first because they had the time to come out sooner than Parks. Big mistake that cost my parents a great deal of money. Believe me, wait for Parks. It is worth the wait. Even though Parks was busy, he updated us weekly with a spreadsheet showing us exactly where we were on his list. We never had to call him. After he fixed our problem, which required a great deal of digging and grading, his team came out and landscaped those areas and planted grass seed. My parent's yard has never looked this good. My only complaint is that Jody will not tell me what his seed blend is or sell it to me. JODY, what is your secret??? I highly recommend Parks Waterproofing and on a personal note, Jody is a good man. He actually cares about his customer. Regards, Greg
