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.

Testimonials
Basement waterproofing, leaky basement issue
This is Vincent in Chesterfield and I wanted to say “thanks” for making peace in our household. For the past 5 years I have been putting all kinds of short term bandaids on our water intrusion issue in the basement….we finally went ahead and install the drain tile and sump as your team recommended.
After all this time I finally have no worries when I hear it starting to rain. Just this past week our rain gauge showed almost 3″ in about 5 hours – not a drop of water in the basement or crawl space.
Excellent work and again thank you….

Quick note: This is Paul in Swansea, IL and I wanted to say thank you to Andrew and company for doing such a good job repairing our wet basement issues.
I feel much better knowing that when it rains we won’t have water all over the place.
