If You Spot Water in Your Basement, It’s Time for Expert Advice

Kansas City-area homeowners should always be on the lookout for water in their basement. With last year’s drought and the Kansas City rains headed our way, foundation issues can occur if certain signs are dismissed. Once Kansas City’s clay soil gets extremely dry after a long period with no rain (last year’s drought), the soil is not able to quickly absorb rainfall when it comes. Excess water ends up having no place to go except straight through the clay soil and against your foundation’s walls. 


If there are openings or cracks in the foundation, that unabsorbed water finds its way into the basement. When homeowners see the first signs of water, they begin wondering what they should do and start to worry about the condition of their foundation. They search online to see if water in the basement is normal after rainfall and often end up with a variety of answers. This can be frustrating for homeowners because they aren’t quite sure what to do, but they can’t seem to get the concern off their minds. It’s not always as easy as grabbing the wet vac and industrial fans to dry up the water. There can certainly be underlying foundation issues causing problems that should be addressed by a foundation specialist. 


Instead of adding another stressor to your list, homeowners should contact PierMagic for a free waterproofing and foundation inspection to determine whether they need the support of our superior basement waterproofing company. As the Kansas City experts in basement foundation repairs, PierMagic will perform a thorough, free inspection of your foundation to determine your specific waterproofing needs. You can schedule this free consultation in advance to ensure water doesn’t get the best of you during the rain storms (and droughts) ahead.


How Do You Know You Need a Basement Waterproofing Solution?

There are several signs that homeowners can look for to decide whether their basement should be waterproofed. The first of these, of course, is noticing water in the basement after it rains, either recently or in the past. 


In addition, these signs will let you know it’s time to call PierMagic, Kansas City’s premier basement waterproofing company. When you call, you can schedule a waterproofing inspection to determine what services will keep your basement dry.
