Home Episode 82: Basements - How To Keep Them Dry
On this week's episode of The Build Show Podcast, Matt and Wade Paquin of WKP Construction in Rhode Island, go deep into basements: how to keep them dry and prevent flood events. Wade doesn't build without basements in his area, and Matt has broad experience building basements, crawl spaces, and slab-on-grade.

They show their battle scars, sharing painful basement stories from their careers, talking trash pumps, unexpected rain events, finished rooms flooding two weeks before move-in, and foundation leaks.

They also talk about how to help keep your clients' basements dry, some things you need to consider to do so, and some products that will help.

Check out the French Drain video Matt mentions here.
