Basement waterproofing in Park Hills
What Park Hills homes mean for basement waterproofing
Park Hills's 1920s-1940s stone and early-concrete basements sit on steep hillside lots above Covington, with the uphill walls bearing against cut hillside soil that holds runoff far longer than the fill on the downhill side. That steep-lot cut-and-fill grading produces some of the most asymmetric moisture exposure in the metro, so a Park Hills basement can show active seepage on one wall while the opposite wall stays dry. Interior drainage tied to a sump is usually the practical answer, since excavating the uphill side on a steep lot is rarely straightforward.
