Waterproofing for Hunter's Green Homes
Hunter’s Green was established in 1991 as a gated golf community in New Tampa, ZIP 33647. Its neighborhoods are laid out among oak hammocks, wetlands and the golf course, with estate homes on generous lots.
Like most of New Tampa, the ground is flat, sandy and low, with a water table that rises quickly once the summer rains begin. Large roofs shed a lot of water, and homes beside wetlands and fairways sit closest to it.
We design concealed systems for these homes: collection at the foundation, roof water piped underground, sumps sized for summer storms, and waterproofing where water has already reached the slab.
Big Roofs, Wet Ground
An estate home in Hunter’s Green can shed thousands of gallons of water in a single summer storm, onto ground that is already close to saturated. Where that water goes in the first few feet around the house decides whether the slab stays dry.
The Water Around a Hunter's Green Home
Why homes built on slabs close to grade in Tampa see so much water at the foundation.
623 gal
runs off each 1,000 square feet of roof. A 3,500 square foot roof sheds more than 2,000 gallons in a single one-inch storm.
49.5 in
falls in an average year, and about 61% of it comes from June through September.
~4 in
rise in the water table for every inch of rain once the sand is soaked, so pooled water has nowhere to drain.

Is Water Reaching Your Slab?
Around the Home
- Water standing at the slab edge after rain
- Downspouts emptying into beds beside the foundation
- Dark, damp stucco at the base of the wall
- Soggy ground at the lanai or pool deck edge
In the Home
- White crust on tile, grout or concrete (efflorescence)
- Cupped wood floors or lifting tile
- Musty baseboards and swollen trim
- Damp garage or laundry room slabs
If you see signs inside, water is already under the slab. That calls for waterproofing, not more landscaping.
How We Protect Hunter's Green Homes
Perimeter Collection
A collection line along the foundation, built with clean stone, filter fabric and smooth-wall pipe.
Roof Water Tie-In
Downspouts piped underground into the system, so roof water never lands at the wall.
Sump & Pump
A sealed sump with a pump sized for Tampa storms, for lots too flat to drain by gravity.
Legal Discharge
Water sent to a storm inlet, street gutter or pond connection where the site and the community allow.
Slab & Wall Waterproofing
Where water has already reached the slab or walls, we seal the structure itself.
Documentation
Photos, scope and a lifetime transferable warranty for owners and future buyers.

Moisture mapping inside and out, plus the slab, walls and grades around the lot.
