Basement Waterproofing in Mattoon, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (103)

Basement waterproofing is crucial for Mattoon homeowners, as it protects against water damage that can compromise both the structural integrity of your home and the health of your family. The soil in Mattoon, which is often a mix of clay and loam, can expand and contract significantly with moisture changes, leading to potential leaks and flooding in your basement. Given that Mattoon experiences an average annual precipitation of around 40 inches, the risk of water infiltration increases, particularly during the wetter months of spring and fall, making effective waterproofing solutions a necessity.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing exceptional foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete services to the residents of Mattoon. Our mission is to deliver high-quality home repair solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Mattoon

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.
