Basement Waterproofing in Columbia, MO

Review Logo 4.8 (508)

Columbia, Missouri, experiences a mix of weather patterns that can impact the stability of your home's foundation. The clay-rich soils in the area can become saturated during heavy rain, leading to water pooling around your basement. This can create a 'clay bowl' effect, resulting in standing water that can seep into your basement and promote mold growth if not addressed promptly. It is crucial to ensure your basement is properly waterproofed to protect your home from these damaging effects.

At Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, we are dedicated to providing top-notch home repair solutions, including foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete services. Our skilled technicians are committed to delivering personalized service throughout Missouri, including Columbia. With industry-leading products and nationally backed warranties, FRS is here to ensure your basement remains dry and your home stays safe from water damage.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Columbia

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.
