Interior Basement Waterproofing Services in St. Louis
Water can enter your basement after heavy rain in several ways, including over the top of the foundation, through the cove joint, thorough foundation cracks, and through your window wells. A flooded basement can cause a lot of expensive damage, including wood rot to support beams and floor joists which could cause major structural issues for your home. Our team solves basement waterproofing differently depending on the cause of the problem. For instance, some water intrusions in your basement can be repaired with interior solutions while others that are caused by insufficient yard drainage may require an exterior waterproofing method.
What Causes Water Leaks Inside Of Your Basement?
Water in your basement can be caused by floor drains, basement window leaks, wall and floor cracks, and cove joint leaks. For most of these issues, we recommend installing an interior drain system to catch and remove the water before it enters your basement.
Floor Drains
Any hole in your basement can be a cause of leaks in your home, and most homes in St. Louis have floor drains installed that can be used to drain excess water from the home. In most cases these are never the cause for water in your basement, however in some instances when the soil around your home is saturated it can cause water intrusion into your basement.
Basement Window Leaks
Along the same lines as floor drains, window wells are a must for any basement in St. Louis. However, depending on the age of your window wells the seals may have become deteriorated, or foundation settlement could cause gaps to appear that will allow water into your basement. Our team installs window well drains to specifically combat this issue and to keep water form coming into your basement through your window wells.
Wall and Floor Cracks
Cracks in your basement walls and floors can be a sign of significant foundation settlement or an abundance of hydrostatic pressure from water saturation in the soil surrounding your home. Even the smallest cracks can allow water into your basement. Our team repairs wall and floor cracks with a specialized polyurethane injection system and strengthens cracks in walls with a carbon fiber and epoxy sealing system.
