Basement waterproofing in East Moline, Illinois
East Moline runs along the Mississippi, where a high water table and flat ground make groundwater the main thing to plan for.
The homes
East Moline has many mid-century homes, plus newer neighborhoods further from the river. Across Rock Island County, Census estimates put about 31% of homes at more than 75 years old.
The ground and the water
Close to the river the water table sits high, and when river levels rise, groundwater under nearby homes can rise with them. Flatter lots drain slowly after storms, so water has time to find the weak spots in a foundation.
What usually fixes it
For many East Moline basements the answer is a drain tile and sump pump system that collects water at the base of the wall and sends it out of the house. If your downspouts empty near the foundation, we will point that out as well.

Questions from East Moline
My basement only gets wet in spring. Do I still need a system?
Seasonal water is still water. Spring thaw and rain raise the water table, and repeated wet and dry cycles wear on walls over time. A sump pump and drain tile handle it when it happens, whether or not you are home.
