Basement Waterproofing in Clinton, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (468)

In Clinton, the soil is predominantly silty-clay loam, which can provide a stable base for the foundations of homes. However, the high levels of precipitation, averaging about 36 inches annually, can lead to water accumulation around your basement. This saturation can create a 'clay bowl' effect, trapping moisture around the foundation and increasing the risk of water seeping into your basement. If left unaddressed, this can result in significant issues such as mold growth and structural damage.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, specializes in assisting homeowners in Clinton with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs. Our commitment is to deliver high-quality home repair solutions and personalized customer service throughout Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas. With our trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, FRS is dedicated to restoring the integrity of your basement.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Clinton

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
