Basement Waterproofing in Lawrence, KS

Review Logo 4.7 (1,163)

In Lawrence, the soil is primarily composed of clay, which can lead to significant challenges for homeowners, especially when it comes to basement waterproofing. The combination of heavy rainfall during the spring and summer months can saturate the clay soil, creating conditions that allow water to seep into your basement. This not only risks the integrity of your home's foundation but can also lead to mold growth and other serious issues if not addressed promptly.

"The company was very professional, called to let us know they were on the way, went over what they were going to do before starting, and touched base along the way through the process. Would highly recommend them to everyone in need of foundation work. Jesse and Derek on the Poly crew did extra things that we wanted done. Jordan, Kyle, Kyler, and Micah on the structural crew worked hard all day. Their work exceeded all expectations and they were all very professional. Thank you FRS!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Lawrence

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.
