Basement waterproofing in Rock Island, Illinois
Rock Island has some of the oldest homes in the Quad Cities, and many of them sit close to two rivers.
The homes
Rock Island County's homes skew old: Census estimates put about 31% of them at more than 75 years old. Rock Island's historic neighborhoods have houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s, often on stone or brick foundations that were never meant to stay dry on their own.
The ground and the water
The Rock River meets the Mississippi just south of town. A high water table near the rivers means groundwater can rise fast after heavy rain or when river levels are up, and stone foundations let water through their mortar joints.
What usually fixes it
Stone and old brick basements cannot be sealed like poured concrete. Managing the water with drain tile and a pump is often a better answer than patching the wall. We look at the condition of the wall at the visit and tell you if it needs other repair.

Questions from Rock Island
Can you waterproof a stone foundation?
A drain tile and sump pump system works with the wall instead of against it. It collects water at the base so it does not build up against the stone. We will tell you at the visit if the wall itself needs attention.
