Basement Waterproofing in New Orleans: local context
Much of New Orleans sits at or below sea level on soft, subsiding soils with a very high water table; many homes are raised on piers and basements are essentially nonexistent.
Full basements are uncommon in New Orleans, so most work in this category here is crawl space moisture control, yard drainage and grading, foundation and slab-edge sealing, and the occasional below-grade room or garage. A good contractor will be upfront about which of these they actually do.
Conditions that tend to come up around New Orleans include clay soils that hold water against foundation walls, heavy rain events and coastal storms and a high water table near the shore. Before you agree to a system, a contractor should be able to show you where water is getting in and explain why their fix addresses it.
Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Louisiana licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Where exactly is the water coming in, and how do you know?
- What does the system include, and what is not included?
- Is the warranty transferable if I sell the house?
- Who pulls permits, if any are needed?
- Can I see proof of insurance and any required license?
