Basement Waterproofing in Rochester, MN

Review Logo 4.7 (778)

Located underground, basements in Rochester are at high risk for damage due to heavy rainfall in the area. Soil in Rochester is known for absorbing and holding water, which is an issue for basement walls. As water collects below the surface, a force called hydrostatic pressure begins to push against your basement walls. This causes basement walls to become cracked and leaky. As a result, water damage occurs below your home and may show up as flooded stairs, efflorescence, or wet drywall. Internal plumbing leaks may also cause the same issues in your basement. Preventing water damage in your basement is possible with solutions like IBA's basement dehumidifier, sump pumps, and interior drainage system.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Rochester

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.
