Basement Waterproofing in Independence, MO

Review Logo 4.7 (1,173)

In Independence, MO, the clay-rich soil can lead to significant challenges for homeowners, especially when it comes to basement waterproofing. The clay soil can swell when wet, creating pressure against the foundation and increasing the risk of water infiltration during heavy rains. If left unaddressed, this can result in water pooling in your basement and the growth of mold, which can pose serious health risks and damage your property's structural integrity.

"Elliot arrived on time and was easy to talk to and understand. He went right to work checking out my crawl space on a freezing cold day. When he was done he shared his findings with me and drew up a foot print of the house and the work he recommended. It was all well explained and understandable me. He also gave me a quote for the work. It took about 2-3 hours and I'm confident he did a quality job."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Independence

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.
