Basement Waterproofing in Galesburg, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (104)

Galesburg experiences a significant amount of rainfall, averaging about 37 inches annually, which can pose a risk for basements due to the region's clay and loamy soils. These types of soils can retain moisture, leading to potential water infiltration in your basement. The clay bowl effect can exacerbate this issue, allowing water to accumulate around the foundation walls, leading to problems such as mold growth and water damage. Foundation Recovery Systems offers expert basement waterproofing solutions designed to combat these challenges, including our WallSeal vapor barrier and SafeDri Sump pump system, ensuring your basement remains dry and protected.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to assisting homeowners in Galesburg with high-quality foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs.

"Mike and Nick from Foundation Recovery Systems did a wonderful job lifting and leveling our driveway. They and the representative who first came for the estimate were very thorough and clear in their approach, and other than the successfully completed job, you’d never know they’d been here. The polyjacking was quick and efficient, and the seams were resealed really well. Looks great!"

Types of Basement Damage in Galesburg

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Galesburg

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
