Basement Waterproofing in Cedar Falls, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (468)

In Cedar Falls, a basement serves not only as a storage area but also as a valuable living space for your family. Because of the area's clay soil, which expands when wet and shrinks when dry, basement waterproofing is crucial for homeowners. Cedar Falls experiences significant rainfall, particularly in the spring and fall, which can lead to water infiltration and damage. Without proper waterproofing, your basement may become a breeding ground for mold and other health hazards, making it essential to address any signs of moisture early.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing top-notch foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete services throughout Iowa, including Cedar Falls. Our team prioritizes high-quality repair solutions and personalized service, ensuring that every homeowner receives the best care possible.

"Had a sidewalk that had sunk too far on the right side making it quite unsafe at the front step. I had a different company out to raise it and they failed but still charged me 3/4 of the cost. I then had Foundation Recovery Systems out and they fixed the problem without issue. My experience was great with FRS!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Cedar Falls

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
