Basement Waterproofing in Springfield, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (104)

Basement waterproofing is essential for Springfield homeowners, especially with the region's average annual precipitation of about 39 inches. The clay soil prevalent in the area tends to expand when wet and shrink during dry spells, creating conditions that can lead to significant water damage in basements. During the rainy seasons, particularly in the spring and fall, homeowners may notice increased moisture levels, which can promote mold growth and other harmful conditions. Ensuring your basement is waterproofed helps protect your home from these potential hazards.

Why your neighbors trust Foundation Recovery Systems

We've earned 97 five star reviews.

"I am very pleased with the concrete lift work completed by Foundation Recovery Systems. Mike and Nick were very friendly and professional as they were explaining step-by-step how the project would be completed. As we did the walk through, they pointed out other areas that would need attention soon in addition to what was outlined in the original contract. I agreed and the additional work was able to be added to the contract for a reasonable added cost with no problem. Although additional work was added to the contract, Mike and Nick were still able to complete the job in 1 day with quality. They consistently asked if I had any questions and answered the questions I had professionally and courteously. They did an excellent job with clean-up which left me nothing to do when the job was completed. I will definitely work with Foundation Recovery Systems again."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Springfield

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.
