Wet walls cause more than moisture problems - ...
... they are also a common source of mold and mildew and can lead to serious health problems.

We can send an expert over to evaluate your situation and provide an instant quote, and you can get back in your basement again and start using it for whatever you want.

Water seeping through concrete actually weakens the concrete as well, because concrete contains steel rods or steel mesh that can corrode when wet. This corrosion of the rebar spreads to other parts of the wall that aren't even wet, causing a weakening and eventually crumbling of the walls, leading to much larger problems than just a water leak. Left alone a simple water leak can destroy a basement over a few years time.

Crawl spaces are just as likely to harbor mold and moisture as basements are. At Ozark Waterproofing, we offer a specialized process of encapsulating your crawl space to ensure that moisture is kept out. This helps prevent moist air from doing damage to the rest of your home and keeps mold and mildew from creeping in with the warm moist air from your wet crawl space.

We can install or repair helical piers and anchors and solve many other related foundation and structural concrete issues.
