Basement Waterproofing in Ottumwa, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (490)

Ottumwa, Iowa, experiences a mix of soil types, including silty-clay loam, which can provide stability for your home's foundation. However, the heavy rainfall, with an average annual precipitation of about 34 inches, can lead to water pooling around the foundation, creating a risk for basement flooding and mold growth. Homeowners must be vigilant during the stormy seasons to ensure that their basements remain dry and safe from potential water damage.

Why your neighbors trust Foundation Recovery Systems

We've earned 453 five star reviews.

"I’m ecstatic to have the burden of a wet basement lifted. The whole process of meeting with Jared, coming up with a plan and getting it done was seamless. I had a disaster of a basement and he made me feel comfortable about how it could be made much better. He is a master problem solver and just what I needed. The crew of Lee, Camryn and Joshua finished the job today. I was amazed at how quickly the whole process took. They were professional yet kind and personable. There were lots of smiles so I think they really like their job. They answered all my questions and left the space much, much better than they found it. I am so grateful. I cannot say enough about this team and I highly recommend."
