Basement Waterproofing in Minneapolis, MN

Review Logo 4.8 (507)

Wet basements are nothing new to Minneapolis homeowners. This is a common problem many people believe is just part of having a basement, along with dampness, musty smells, and overall dinginess. These issues are typical because of the area's soil and weather, but they are not safe or healthy for your home or family. The loamy and clay soils under Minneapolis homes may not always be able to handle the city's more than 80 inches of yearly precipitation, and water can easily leak inside through wall and floor cracks. Internal plumbing floods can also inundate the basement. Flooding, condensation, musty smells, efflorescence, and mold will follow with the presence of any water. To avoid this damage, Innovative Basement Authority will keep your basement dry with internal drains, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and other permanent solutions.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Minneapolis

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.
