Hempcrete could be fireproof, rot-proof, and waterproof as long as it is above the ground. Using of hempcrete as exterior walls let the water in without getting damage or rotting, because of this, the moisture level is conserved with the absorbed water releasing as the temperature increases. Hence, it can withstand rain or wet environments.

Not only water proof but also mold proof also as another bonus.

Hempcrete is waterproof, as long as it is being used above-ground. Underground uses are still kind of iffy. But, I predict, as the industry grows and gains more mainstream traction, that the drawbacks and hiccups with hemp building materials will be remedied!

Hempcrete is said to be waterproof. My cousin, who has built with Hempcrete, said that he would say it’s water-resistant, not waterproof.
He said that since the Hempcrete is made with water, I’d there is some water in the foundation, then it will get absorbed but the Hempcrete.
He did say, though, that there is no way that it would absorb a full-blown leak or being submerged in water.
