Waterproofing a basement in Wenatchee, Wa.

[Joseph Reardon]

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!
