Waterproofing a basement in Wenatchee, Wa.
Hi all!
I'm currently closing on a property in Wenatchee, Wa. The property is currently located in a 100 yr flood zone and I will be carrying flood insurance. Before I finish the basement I want to make every effort to seal it. To the best of my knowledge, the current owners experienced a flash flood about a decade ago and it compromised the basement. They professionally extracted and remedied the situation, plus added a sump pump. During the inspection process, no red flags were raised for moisture, etc. Can you recommend any books on waterproofing basements? I am looking for some technical direction, however, I understand that some aspects will need to be left to the pros. Thanks for any and all help!
