Top of Foundation Leaks

Often times, when moisture comes in over the base of the home, it is an indication that there is a problem with lawn grading or drainage. This could be caused from poorly backfilled soil around the home, or from a sloping yard that drains down toward the basement. When this happens, rain water and melting snow will build up against the home until it eventually breaks through the seal where the foundation meets the home.

Warning signs of this problem include seeing water trickling down the walls, stains or damage on walls, or puddles on the floor.

Lawn Grading and Drainage

To take care of the problem, St. Louis Basement Pros can be sure that your yard is properly graded, and exterior drainage systems can be installed, such as a French drain, or a membrane on the outside of the base of your home. Water here will be directed into a sump pump where it will eventually be pushed to a safe distance away where it won’t be able to do damage.

Spray Foam Insulation

The spray foam insulation installers kept me informed of progress. They were honest when they could not access one area of my bay for insulation completion, so we negotiated a price. Excellent communication of job progress!

Basement Waterproofing

Their team installed a basement waterproofing system in my home about a year ago. I was having trouble with water entering my basement during heavy rains, and a moist, damp feeling in the air when I went downstairs. The team was professional, well prepared, and completed the job in a reasonable time frame. The system does whats it’s advertised to do, and I have not had any issues with water entering my home since. Good company, even better product.
