"Jordan was exceptional in his detailed explanation of the work that would be done. He took the time to thoroughly assess our situation and also to extensively talk through options. While customer service is paramount for us, and he certainly deserves a 10 out of 10, FRS was a substantially better value from a cost standpoint as well, compared to estimates we received elsewhere. If you need to prove it to yourself, go ahead and take the time to get multiple bids...but if you want to save the time, just make one call to Jordan and Foundation Recovery Systems!"

Types of Basement Damage in Marshalltown

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Marshalltown

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.

Basement waterproofing costs depend on factors like the size and condition of your basement, as well as the specific methods used, like sump pumps or vapor barriers. Moisture problems and hydrostatic pressure issues can influence what solutions you need. You may want to schedule an inspection to get a tailored estimate.

High water tables increase the risk of water seepage and basement leaks, necessitating interior drainage systems and waterproofing membranes.
