Interior vs. Exterior Waterproofing

While exterior foundation waterproofing is always far superior to interior, in some situations in existing homes, exterior waterproofing is simply not always an option due to obstacles around the home and cost. Not only are we experts in exterior waterproofing with our own patented system, but we have also developed our own maintenance free interior system which was designed by owner Jody Parks. We are the ONLY company that offers this maintenance free interior system that uses gravity as opposed to pumps in most situations. This system far exceeds any of our competitors’ systems in maintenance, design, and function and is completely backed by a lifetime transferrable warranty.

We will carry out a comprehensive inspection of your foundation to determine the most cost-effective and functional option for your home. At Parks’ Waterproofing, we are constantly working to improve the efficacy of our waterproofing systems. Whether you need an interior or exterior waterproofing system, our goal remains the same, preventing water intrusion from causing havoc in your foundations or basement. We also provide a lifetime guarantee with both our interior and exterior waterproofing systems for your peace of mind.

Is Water Damaging Your Foundation Walls?

Water is a natural and potentially destructive force. Whenever water finds its way into the soil, it will take the path of least resistance. Unfortunately, that path may lead to the foundation of your home. Without protection from an effective waterproofing system, foundation walls will suffer damage from excessive water infiltration. Moisture can easily seep through cracks or gaps in foundation walls. However, you also have to consider the impact of corrosion and hydrostatic pressure.

The patented Parks’ Free-Flowing Waterproofing System is the most effective way to prevent moisture from reaching the foundation and basement walls. Our unique system design directs water flow so that it is diverted away from your home. We are fully endorsed by industry specialists in structural engineering and building inspection.

Here are photos of a foundation where a WaterGuard system was installed (which is the system our local competitor uses) at the base of the foundation wall. Keep in mind, all this water damage was hidden until the slab was removed.

This is a picture from our local interior waterproofing system competitor’s website. This is what they do! They only pour 1″ of cement on top of a piece of plastic taking away the structural integrity of your basement slab.

International Building Code manual states:
Section 1907 Minimum Slab Provisions - Building Code
The Waterguard system our competitor used also has a gap against the base of the foundation wall so water can enter into it. This gap can allow dangerous radon gas to enter your home risking the health of your family and loved ones.

The reason code requires a minimum of 3 1/2″ of cement is that the slab in your basement is what supports the base of your foundation wall and prevents it from moving inward from the exterior soil pressure.

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.

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
