Basement Waterproofing in Cottage Grove, MN

Review Logo 4.7 (776)

Homeowners in Cottage Grove often face the challenge of wet basements, a problem that can lead to significant structural damage and health concerns. With an average annual precipitation of about 32 inches, combined with the area's clay and loamy soils, excess moisture can accumulate and find its way into basements through cracks in walls and floors. This moisture can lead to unsightly mold, musty odors, and even foundation damage. To combat these issues, Innovative Basement Authority offers comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions, including sump pumps, internal drains, and dehumidifiers, ensuring your basement remains dry and safe.

"We hired Innovative Basement Authority to waterproof our mother’s basement and reinforce the foundation. Our crew was led by Dion Rozumny assisted by Jaden and Seth. They finished the job in four days in sometimes below zero temperatures with no complications. Dion communicated clearly and with uncommon forthrightness and the team worked extremely well together. But mainly they just worked really hard- harder than I’ve ever seen for this type of work. They were extremely polite and good natured but I want to emphasize how focused and dedicated they were as a team. They dug ditches in a snow squall with 40 mph winds and -10 wind chills without a complaint. These guys are really something special and I’m very confident about the work they did to secure my mother’s house as a result. The inspector even noted that this company and crew are known for doing superior work in a very respectful, efficient way. I strongly recommend this company and the all-star crew of Dion, Jaden, and Seth. Absolutely superb experience from start to finish!"

Types of Basement Damage in Cottage Grove

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Cottage Grove

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.
