Basement Waterproofing in Jacksonville, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (115)

Basement waterproofing is essential for Jacksonville homeowners looking to maintain a safe and dry living environment. The region's clay soil, which tends to expand when wet and shrink during dry spells, can lead to moisture accumulation in basements, particularly during the wetter months. Jacksonville experiences an average annual precipitation of about 36 inches, with increased rainfall in the spring and fall, making it critical to prevent water damage, mold growth, and structural issues that can arise from a moist basement.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing Jacksonville residents with top-notch foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete solutions. Our commitment to delivering high-quality home repair services is unwavering, and we are proud to serve communities throughout Illinois and beyond.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Jacksonville

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.
