Serving Spanish Fork and nearby communities.

Most homes in this part of Utah have full basements, which means most homes here also have basements capable of taking on water if drainage around the foundation isn't working right.

Spring snowmelt builds up hydrostatic pressure against basement walls, and once that pressure finds a weak point, water finds its way in. Spanish Fork Foundation Pros addresses the pressure, not just the symptom showing up on the floor.

  • Sump Pump System photo

    Sump Pump System

    Removes accumulated water during spring runoff to keep the basement dry.

  • Waterproof Wall Coating photo

    Waterproof Wall Coating

    Creates a barrier against moisture penetration through basement walls year-round.

  • Vapor Barrier Sheeting photo

    Vapor Barrier Sheeting

    Reduces humidity transfer from soil into the basement space.

  • Check Valve photo

    Check Valve

    Prevents discharged water from flowing back into the system during heavy runoff.

FAQs

Basement Waterproofing FAQs

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation settlement?

Most standard homeowner policies exclude gradual settlement and the water damage that results from it, since it's considered a maintenance issue rather than a sudden event. Check your specific policy, but don't count on coverage.

Why does my basement wall bow after snow melts?

Saturated soil from snowmelt pushes harder against the wall than dry soil does, and that pressure builds up season after season until the wall starts to move.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

Cost depends on whether the approach is interior or exterior, how much wall length needs drainage, and whether a new sump pump is part of the scope.

How long does waterproofing take?

Interior drain tile and sump setup usually run a few days. Exterior excavation work takes longer.

Do I need a permit for basement waterproofing?

Exterior excavation waterproofing often needs one. Interior drain tile usually doesn't.
