Basement Waterproofing in Mattoon, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (115)

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

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.
