Basement waterproofing in Reno, NV
Reno sits in the Truckee Meadows at the base of the Sierra Nevada. Winters bring snow and spring brings snowmelt, so unlike Las Vegas, many Reno homes have crawl spaces and some have basements that take on water.

What kind of homes and basements does Reno have?
The Old Southwest has early and mid-20th-century homes, some with basements; much of the rest of Reno has postwar and newer homes on crawl spaces or slabs.
What causes basement and foundation problems in Reno?
Crawl space moisture
Snowmelt and leaks dampen crawl spaces; drainage and vapor barriers help.
Flash-flood runoff
Rare intense storms send runoff toward foundations on lots that seldom see rain.
Soil settlement
Collapsible soils can settle when wetted by leaks or irrigation.
Wildfire-burned slopes and runoff
After wildfires in nearby hills, burned slopes shed water and debris much faster, increasing runoff toward homes below. Drainage and debris barriers become more important for several years after a fire.

What do Reno homeowners ask most?
Do Nevada contractors need a license?
Yes, the Nevada State Contractors Board licenses nearly all construction contractors.
Why does my Reno crawl space get wet in spring?
Snowmelt saturates soil and runs under the house. Grading, a drain and a vapor barrier usually solve it.
Do Reno homes need gutters?
Gutters and downspouts that discharge away from the foundation help, especially for homes with crawl spaces or basements, since snowmelt and storms concentrate water at the roof edge.
