Kokomo is Howard County’s urban center — a city with deep roots in American manufacturing and a housing stock that reflects those roots. Many Kokomo neighborhoods feature homes built during the boom decades of the 1940s through 1970s, when the auto industry was at its peak and families were putting down roots fast. Those homes were built well for their era, but they weren’t waterproofed the way modern construction would be.
Wildcat Creek runs through Kokomo and influences the local water table in ways that affect foundations across a wide area around it — not just the properties immediately adjacent. Howard County’s soils have significant clay content in many neighborhoods, and those clay-heavy zones retain moisture long after rain events have passed. The US-31 corridor that runs through the city has been improved multiple times over the decades, with drainage changes that have redirected surface water in ways the original neighborhood planners never anticipated.
EverDry Waterproofing of Michiana has been serving Kokomo and Howard County since 1993. We’ve assessed and waterproofed homes across the city’s many distinct neighborhoods — from older stock near the Wildcat Creek corridor to mid-century residential development on the city’s edges. Our basement waterproofing services are the full suite of what we offer, and we’re ready to put any or all of it to work for your Kokomo home.
Kokomo is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own foundation age profile and moisture history. EverDry serves all of them — from established older neighborhoods near downtown to newer residential areas on the outskirts.
Homes in proximity to Wildcat Creek experience higher seasonal groundwater than other Kokomo neighborhoods. The creek's spring behavior elevates the water table across a significant zone around it, and foundations in these neighborhoods often show the accumulated evidence of years of that pressure.
Kokomo's 1950s and 1960s-era neighborhoods have block foundations that were laid when waterproofing wasn't standard. Many of these basements have been managing moisture informally for decades. They're often the best candidates for a complete waterproofing solution.
Kokomo spans two main zip codes — 46901 and 46902 — covering a range of neighborhoods and residential property types. EverDry serves both zip code areas throughout the city.
Residential properties along and near the US-31 corridor have been affected by decades of highway improvement projects that have changed drainage patterns in surrounding neighborhoods. Some of these homes see water in their basements that's partly attributable to infrastructure changes made long after the homes were built.

Yes. While the effect diminishes with distance, Wildcat Creek elevates the regional water table across a wide area. Neighborhoods that don't directly border the creek can still experience elevated groundwater during spring high-water events, particularly in areas with heavy clay soils that don't drain quickly.
It's worth having an assessment. Homes built in the 1950s almost universally lack exterior waterproofing membranes and often have original drain tile that's now sixty-plus years old. That doesn't guarantee active water problems, but it does mean the protective systems that modern construction relies on likely aren't present.
Absolutely, and in this order: waterproof first, then finish. Finishing a basement that has any moisture history is a significant risk. Water intrusion after a finish-out can destroy drywall, flooring, and framing quickly. Waterproofing before the finish-out eliminates that risk and protects your remodeling investment.
If you experience a warranty issue after EverDry's work, you call us. We assess the situation and address it according to the warranty terms. The warranty has no expiration and transfers to future owners of the property.

Yes. The assessment is free and comes without any obligation. We'll inspect your foundation, tell you what we find, and explain what we'd recommend. What you do with that information is entirely your decision.
