Why St. Louis basements leak

Much of the region sits on clay soil that holds water after heavy rain. Saturated soil presses against basement walls and pushes water up through the floor-wall joint and cracks. Clogged gutters, short downspouts, and soil sloping toward the house add to the load.

Signs you should get it checked

Water or damp spots after rain
White chalky residue (efflorescence) on walls
Musty odors or rising humidity
New or widening cracks, or walls bowing inward
A sump pump that runs constantly or not at all

Basement Waterproofing

Water in a basement usually comes from one of three places: the joint where the wall meets the floor, cracks in the wall or floor, or water pushed up from below by saturated soil (hydrostatic pressure).
