What Causes Basement Waterproofing Problems?
A consistently wet basement can snowball into a more significant problem than a homeowner may think. In Colorado Springs, where they receive less than 20 inches of rain per year, it can be easy to push basement water damage off for many other home projects.
The issue with Colorado Springs is the expansive bentonite soil. Although the area receives less than average rainfall, bentonite soil is problematic, changing its volume drastically during wet and dry seasons. This big change in volume means basement leaks pop up quickly and can create a mess in your basement, ruining belongings and creating health problems resulting from mold growth. Mold needs three things to thrive, food, water, and oxygen, all of which your basement has. So keep an eye out for mold in dark corners or on your personal belongings after a significant rain event.
Unfortunately, mold spores don’t stay in the basement. Instead, they travel through the home, kicking asthma and allergy symptoms into high gear and leaving homeowners wondering why.
Stop dealing with the problems and start addressing your water damage as soon as possible. Groundworks has a team of certified inspectors that specialize in basement waterproofing in your area. Since they live and work in your here, they understand the unique conditions Colorado Springs homeowners face and know how to find and solve the root of the problem.
From drains to sump pumps to dehumidifiers, your inspector will provide you with a thorough look at your water problem and recommend only the solutions you need—no high-pressure sales pitch. Contact us to schedule your free, no-obligation inspection.
Common Causes of Basement Water Problems
Our Patented Basement Waterproofing Solutions
Determining if basement waterproofing is the right solution for your Colorado Springs home can be a complicated journey. Thanks to the internet and countless DIY videos, contradictory information is prevalent. The best way to understand the whole picture is to have an inspector perform a hands-on inspection at your home. Below are some of the solutions they may suggest.
Interior Drain
Keeping your basement free of water is the first step to a healthy, dry, usable basement. An interior drain system from Groundworks keeps your basement healthy and your home safe for years to come.
The BasementGutterTM Interior Drain System is installed at the perimeter of the basement, collecting water from both the walls and the floor. Water is then moved to the sump pump, where it is pumped out and away from the home. Since BasementGutterTM sits on the home’s footing rather than in the mud, clogs are a thing of the past.
Sump Pump
One of the key components of a waterproof basement is a reliable, high-quality sump pump. While there are many sump pumps on the market, choosing a sump pump you know will protect your basement during a rain event is vital. Groundworks offers a unique three-pump unit designed to keep your basement dry regardless of the situation. If the main pump fails, pump two kicks on to do the heavy lifting; if a storm causes a power outage, a third battery-powered pump automatically starts removing water efficiently. In both scenarios, our system will alert you while continuing to function—ensuring ultimate peace of mind.
Wall Vapor Barrier
If you have significant leaking wall cracks, high humidity, or stained basement walls, your home may be a good candidate for a wall vapor barrier product.
AquaStop WallSealTM is installed on your basement walls to keep your basement dry and moisture-free while creating a white, fresh, clean look. Unlike hardware store brands, WallSealTM is thick and won’t rip or tear with everyday use. It also resists mold and mildew growth because of its antimicrobial material. Backed by a lifetime warranty, AquaStop WallSealTM is the best choice to ensure a dry basement.

Zack and Jackson were great. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. My repair was completed efficiently and with high quality, I'm very happy with the outcome.

My house is 50 years old, the garage floor had sunk in some places with large cracks. Mike and Randy were fantastic, leveled my garage floor and sealed all cracks. They showed up on time, answered all my questions and did a wonderful job. I now have peace of mind that my garage floor is level and stabilized for years to come.

From my first call to Groundworks through completion, the entire team was very professional.Everything I had concerns about had a solution at a reasonable price. Even the financing options were easy to get through, allowing me to pay off everything over a year at zero interest.The crew was responsive, on-time, and explained all the work they were going to complete. Bonus – they took great care of my property – no damage to surrounding landscape, and cleaned up after they were done.

Price a bit high due to service location but overall worth it.I feel fortunate to have had such a unique crew,Tristan, Clem and Luis do the work on my home. They are the epitome of professionalism, respect and satisfaction. This team worked very hard together as witnessed my wife and I.It has been years since.either of us has seen such focus and commitment to assuring customer satisfaction along with their dedication to one’s profession. These guys never wasted a minute doing more in less time with such precision.Anyone who would have witnessed them on the job site would have thought they were working on their parents house.They each took pride in every detail inside and outside of our home. They covered walk paths inside and picked up and cleaned up the work areas daily prior to leaving.The communication was concise, direct and accurate throughout the entire job.Although they had no dealings with the bid, the cost of the job was exact, no hidden surprises or extra charges with this reputable company.Pictures of their work were taken throughout the the job, showing what was being done as stated in the bid.My main concern would be their health and safety, take care of you employees ensuring long careers, which I would hope and expect from such a reputable company. If I was their manager I would, as a company, provide a back brace protecting their spine and some sort of brace for lifting and carrying heavy products required to preform their jobs. The price is nothing compared to a workers comp claim, but more importantly taking care of your employees well being is not only a compassionate move, it is a wise one. Take care of them as they are the backbone of your organization.You get what you pay for, the same way your customers do.Regards, Justin MelodyThanks guys, it was a pleasure having you in our home. You make one heck of a team!!

Tristan, Luis and Clem came out to conduct a replacement for a some support beams in the basement. They were professional, neat and on time for the job. After 2 weeks everything seems to alright. Foundation work takes time for it to sink in, so we'll see how it's holding up down the line.

Zack and Jackson did a great job!! I had concrete lifts completed on half the driveway, front sidewalk, and front porch. The results were immediate and impressive – no more dips in the concrete and the cracks in the front porch brick columns are so small, you have to really know where to look to see them. Peak Structural has developed a very good technique to lift sunken concrete.

Zack and Jackson did a fantastic job! The uneven walkway was a huge tripping hazard and now it is miles better. The garage had sunken so badly, the concrete step was about 6 inches too low and tripped is up going in and out. Now it is a normal distance and so much better! Thanks to our sales rep as well for being extremely responsive and helping us through some speedbumps that came up. Great experience!

The team of Jose, Mario and Mason did an outstanding job in securing my foundation. This is not an inexpensive venture and one that few people if any would look forward to having to do, but these guys made it actually enjoyable. Their professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire project was literally over the top. They spent time educating me (and I am a former home builder so I had a relatively solid base of knowledge going into this) as to the entire process and taking time throughout the process to show me what they were doing. I can't say enough good things about my experience in this entire process from beginning to end. They may be a little more expensive than some of the others out there but there is no way anyone else could ever match the level of knowledge and professionalism that these guys displayed.
