Basement water isn’t a seasonal nuisance. In the Midwest, spring rains, clay soils, and freeze-thaw cycles push moisture against your foundation year-round. Since 1975, Dry Basement® Foundation Repair has helped homeowners in Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa stop water intrusion to protect their homes. If you’re seeing damp spots, seepage after storms, or musty odors, we can help you fix it the right way the first time.
Moisture in the basement doesn’t stay put. It can spread, weaken materials, and travel into your living space. Left alone, it becomes a structural and health problem, not just a comfort issue.
Mold & Mildew Growth
Wood rot and damaged finishes
Higher humidity and poor indoor air quality
Foundation cracks and wall pressure
Property and storage damage
PROBLEMS Signs You Need Waterproofing Services
Water problems often start small. These are common signs it’s time to act:
Every home is different. We design advanced systems that address your specific water source, soil conditions, and foundation type. Our approach targets groundwater control, interior moisture management, and wall protection. At Dry Basement®, we aim for permanent solutions, not quick patches.
Here are a few of our engineered solutions that target basement waterproofing issues:
Primary and backup pumps for reliable removal and flooding prevention during heavy rains or power interruptions.
WallShield®
A wall moisture barrier that guides seepage into the drainage system while helping reduce vapor transmission
WindowDrain®
Targeted drainage for below-grade window wells to prevent overflow and leaks during storms.
The Dry Basement Process
INSPECTION
Our basement waterproofing services start with an expert inspection. Our inspector looks for water entry points, checks grading and discharge paths outside, evaluates wall conditions, and measures humidity. We explain what we find in clear terms and answer your questions.
CUSTOM PLAN
Next, we design a custom plan. You’ll see how water will be collected, where it will be discharged, and any wall or vapor protection recommended. We provide straightforward pricing and a clear timeline.
INSTALLATION
Installation is efficient and respectful of your home. Crews set interior drainage where it’s needed, install the sump system, add wall protection, and route discharge away from the foundation. We keep the area tidy and clean up thoroughly.
WALKTHROUGH & WARRANTY
We finish with a walkthrough and warranty. We show you how the system works and what to expect during heavy weather. Your waterproofing comes with a lifetime transferable warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Will interior waterproofing stop mold and musty odors?
Yes. By collecting and removing water before it reaches the floor and reducing vapor on walls, interior waterproofing helps eliminate moisture sources that feed mold. Pairing the system with proper ventilation or dehumidification further improves air quality.
How long does installation take?
Most projects take one to three days, depending on basement size, access, and the scope of drainage and pump work. We’ll give you a clear schedule before we start.
Do I need both drainage and a sump pump?
In most Midwest basements, yes. Drainage without a discharge point can’t remove water effectively, and a sump pump performs best when fed by a continuous drainage path that relieves pressure.
Can waterproofing help if my basement only leaks during heavy storms?
That’s exactly when waterproofing matters. Systems designed for peak storm events manage sudden groundwater spikes and protect against flood-prone conditions common in spring and early summer.
