"My wife and I contacted Don Felton using Home Advisor, Don was the only contractor who listened to us and understood what we needed to fix our drainage problem! Don and his crew put in a French drain in our yard, so that water can drain away from around our window wells and keep them from filling with water! After Don left you could hardly tell that they were here except for where we asked them to put the excess dirt in a low spot in our yard. His workers even removed the rocks from the dirt and racked it level! I highly recommend Sure Dry Waterproofing (Donald Felton) Very professional and a Great person to work with! Don also installed a new sump pump in our basement at a very reasonable price and gave us a 5 year warranty on it (the manufacturer only gives you 3 years)!"

"I am very pleased with the work done by Greentree Waterproofing and would recommend them to anyone. They were very responsive. I called on a Monday morning after having water in our basement since the previous Saturday and within two hours an inspector was at our home to give us an estimate on the work needed. A crew arrived the following Monday and by Wednesday afternoon the work was done. Previous to this work being done, we always had water in our sump pump and it ran almost daily. Since Greentree did their work, we haven't heard the sump run and the pit is dry. Very impressed with the work and would use them again."

"I anticipated a major repair bill for a leak in my basement wall. Very honest. Spotted the problem easily and saved me from a major repair and a huge bill. I will contact this business again when I'm ready to do additional work."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Springfield, contractors often use modular drainage systems and install accessible cleanouts to simplify future upgrades. They may recommend sump pumps with extra capacity and leave unfinished sections for easy integration if you plan to finish or expand your basement. Waterproofing membranes are installed with overlap, allowing for seamless extension during future renovations, so your home remains protected as your needs evolve.

Helpful?

Your Springfield home is a strong candidate for basement waterproofing if you notice persistent dampness, peeling paint, or musty odors in the basement. Properties located in areas with frequent heavy rainfall or near creeks are especially at risk. If your home has experienced minor leaks, visible mold, or you plan to finish your basement, waterproofing can help prevent future structural and air quality issues.

Helpful?

In Springfield, homes with stone or brick foundations, finished basements, or low ceilings often present waterproofing challenges due to limited access and outdated construction methods. Properties with multiple utility lines or built-in storage can restrict installation of drainage systems. If your home sits on uneven terrain or has a walkout basement, these features may require custom solutions for effective moisture management.

Helpful?

In Springfield, professionals begin by addressing immediate safety concerns, such as exposed wiring or unstable foundation cracks. They then focus on stopping active leaks and improving exterior drainage. Next, they install or upgrade sump pumps and seal vulnerable entry points. Finally, they implement long-term moisture control measures—like vapor barriers and dehumidifiers—tailored to Springfield’s seasonal humidity and rainfall patterns.

Helpful?

In Springfield, basement waterproofing professionals closely examine foundation walls for cracks, check basement floors for seepage, and inspect footings for signs of movement. They also assess exterior grading, gutter placement, and downspout extensions to ensure proper drainage. Inside, they review ventilation, humidity levels, and test sump pumps and existing drainage systems to identify areas vulnerable to water intrusion or mold growth.
