Waterproofing for Country Club Estates
Lakewood Ranch Country Club is a guard-gated golf community in ZIP 34202, Manatee County, built around three championship courses, Cypress Links, King’s Dunes and Royal Lakes, and the lakes and ponds that run between them. Homes range from villas to custom Mediterranean, Tuscan and coastal contemporary estates.
That setting is beautiful, and it puts a lot of water close to the house. Fairways, berms and lake banks shed stormwater toward the homes, and the sandy ground fills fast in the rainy season. When it does, the slab edge is where the water stops.
We design concealed systems for these properties: collection at the foundation, roof water piped underground, sumps sized for summer storms, and waterproofing where water has already reached the slab.
Water Between the Homes
In 2019 the Observer reported water pooling behind and between homes in the Riviera and Presidio sections of the Country Club, running off a berm and carrying mulch and rock toward the houses, with owners concerned about their foundations. A neighborhood fix can take years. A system at your own foundation protects your home now.
The Water Around a Golf Home
Why estate lots in a lake and fairway community see so much water at the foundation.
623 gal
runs off each 1,000 square feet of roof. A 5,000 square foot estate roof sheds more than 3,000 gallons in a single one-inch storm.
~61%
of Tampa Bay’s annual rainfall arrives from June through September, when the ground is already full.
~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 Foundation?
Around the Home
- Water standing between homes or along the slab after rain
- Mulch and rock washed off beds toward the house
- 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 storage room slabs
If you see signs inside, water is already under the slab. That calls for waterproofing, not more landscaping.
How We Protect Country Club Homes

Lakewood Ranch Country Club Waterproofing FAQ
Do you work inside Lakewood Ranch Country Club?
Yes. We work throughout Lakewood Ranch Country Club and Country Club East in ZIP 34202, and across Lakewood Ranch in 34202 and 34211. We coordinate gate access and any architectural review requirements with you before work starts.
Why does water pool behind and between homes in the Country Club?
Many lots sit beside berms, lakes and fairways that shed water toward the homes, and the sandy soil fills quickly in summer storms. Once the ground is full, water stands at the slab edge. The fix is a collection system that catches the water and carries it to a legal discharge point.
Will the work be visible from the fairway or the street?
We design for estate properties. Collection lines run below grade, roof water is piped underground, and finished surfaces are restored to match the landscape and hardscape.
Do I need approval from my association before you start?
Exterior work in a deed-restricted community can require architectural review. We provide the drawings and scope your association needs and schedule the work after approval.
How much does foundation waterproofing cost in Lakewood Ranch Country Club?
Every system is sized after an inspection. A typical collection line with a sump pump starts around $9,000 plus the electrical, and full perimeter and slab systems on larger estates run higher.
Is the work warrantied?
Yes. Our systems carry a lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner of the home, which matters to buyers in a community where homes change hands often.
