Basement waterproofing in Moline, Illinois
Moline climbs from the river up a long hillside, and its basements feel it.
The homes
Rock Island County has one of the older housing stocks in the region. Census estimates put about 31% of its homes at more than 75 years old, with a median build year around 1970. Moline's older neighborhoods are full of brick and stone foundations with original drain systems.
The ground and the water
On a slope, water follows gravity. Homes partway down a hill take on runoff from the properties above, and steep lots can push water against the uphill basement wall. Heavy rain and spring snowmelt make it worse, and clay-heavy soil is slow to let go of it.
What usually fixes it
Where the problem is surface water, redirecting downspouts and fixing the grade may be enough. Where water comes up through the floor or in at the base of the wall, an interior drain tile and sump pump system is the usual answer.

Questions from Moline
