Basement Waterproofing in East Saint Louis, IL

Review Logo 4.8 (1,058)

In East Saint Louis, where the climate presents considerable rainfall, basement waterproofing is essential for homeowners looking to protect their living spaces from water damage. The area's soil composition, which includes clay that tends to expand when wet and contract when dry, can lead to significant moisture issues in basements. Heavy rains, particularly in the spring and fall, increase the risk of water intrusion, potentially leading to mold growth and structural concerns if not properly managed.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing expert basement waterproofing solutions to East Saint Louis residents. Our focus is on delivering high-quality home repair services with a personalized touch across Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Kansas. With a team of trained technicians and access to industry-leading products, we ensure that your basement remains dry and safe, backed by nationally supported warranties.

"I highly recommend Scott Cisco! As soon as he left our house I knew I wanted to leave him a personal review and a company review. Scott was very kind, thorough, and he gained my trust quickly at his initial appointment. He listened to everything I had to say, did his own careful assessment, and didn’t come off as salesy - I felt as if I was talking with a neighbor or friend. You can tell he has your best interest at heart in his recommendations. I would trust his recommendations with my home time and time again, and I’ll be recommending him to anyone I know who needs foundation/waterproofing services. In addition, I really love how Foundation Systems Recovery was quick to get us scheduled. Other places I called were booked out for weeks. I called Foundation Systems on a Friday and they were able to get me in on a Monday, which is great when you’re dealing with a stressful water situation. On top of that, they gave me an appt time and Scott was on time, called me when he was on his way AND they have a gps link tracker that allows you to see in real time what the ETA will be - super convenient. I was hesitant to use a big multi-state company over a smaller business, but I’m glad I used Foundation Systems Recovery. Again, thank you and thank you Scott!"

Types of Basement Damage in East Saint Louis

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in East Saint Louis

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.
