Frequently asked questions
Why does my basement leak only after heavy rain?
Saturated clay soil builds water pressure against the walls; water then finds cracks, the cove joint or window wells.
Interior or exterior waterproofing?
Interior drain tile with a sump is the most common fix for seepage; exterior excavation is more costly and used when the wall itself needs protection or repair.
Is a wet basement a mold risk?
EPA says controlling moisture is the key to controlling mold. Fixing the water source matters more than cleaning.
Does Illinois license waterproofers?
There's no statewide waterproofing license. Check insurance, local village registration and references.
Water came up the floor drain — is that waterproofing?
Usually not. That's typically a sewer backup; a plumber can advise on backflow valves or overhead sewers.
