Basement Waterproofing in Detroit Lakes, MN

Review Logo 4.7 (524)

Wet basements are a common concern for homeowners in Detroit Lakes, MN. With an average annual precipitation of around 30 inches, the region’s soil can struggle to manage excess moisture, leading to issues such as dampness, musty odors, and structural damage. The local sandy and silty soils can easily allow water to infiltrate through cracks in walls and floors, and plumbing leaks can further exacerbate the problem. To protect your home from these hazards, Innovative Basement Authority offers reliable basement waterproofing solutions, including sump pumps, internal drainage systems, and dehumidifiers that can effectively keep your basement dry.

Innovative Basement Authority (IBA), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to assisting homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs in Detroit Lakes and surrounding areas. Our commitment to high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service extends throughout Minnesota and beyond.

Types of Basement Damage in Detroit Lakes

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Detroit Lakes

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.
