Basement Waterproofing in Springfield, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (115)

Springfield experiences a unique blend of clay and silty soils, making it prone to moisture retention. This can lead to issues in basements, especially during periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt. The clay bowl effect can exacerbate water accumulation around basement walls, resulting in leaks, mold growth, and unpleasant odors. At Foundation Recovery Systems, we offer advanced basement waterproofing solutions, including our WallSeal vapor barrier and SafeDri Sump pump system, designed to effectively manage water intrusion and protect your home from damage.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing homeowners in Springfield with premier foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete solutions. Our focus is on delivering high-quality repairs and exceptional customer service across Illinois and neighboring states.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Springfield

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.
