If water finds a way in, we show you the way out. This podcast gives Nebraska homeowners a clear, practical roadmap to protect foundations, keep basements dry, and prevent expensive water damage. Each episode breaks down what actually works in our clay-rich soils and stormy seasons—from spring snowmelt to late-summer downpours—so you can make confident decisions and avoid gimmicks.

What you’ll learn (without the hype):

• The real causes of wet basements: hydrostatic pressure, poor grading, short downspouts, window-well failures, and high water tables

• Interior vs. exterior waterproofing—how to choose the right method for your home and budget

• Sump pumps and backups: sizing, discharge routing, and freeze-proofing for Nebraska winters

• Foundation crack repair: epoxy vs. urethane injection, when to add carbon-fiber reinforcement, and how to stop seepage for good

• Yard and landscape drainage that prevents basement leaks: French drains, dry wells, swales, grading, and downspout extensions

• Crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification to cut humidity, odors, and mold risk

• Seasonal checklists so you’re storm-ready before the first heavy rain
