Road and yard runoff, clay that stays wet and a sump that runs for days. We waterproof Robertsville basements and crawl spaces with drainage, pumps and vapor barriers after a free inspection.
Robertsville sits on rolling ground along US Route 30, and water moves across it in ways homeowners don't always see. Rain runs off the highway, side roads and driveways into ditches and low spots. If a house sits downhill from that flow, or a culvert clogs, runoff can pond in the yard and soak the soil right beside the foundation walls. The wall facing the flow gets wet first.
The soil here is heavy with clay that drains slowly. Once it is saturated in spring, it stays that way, and it presses water against every inch of the basement wall. Block walls fill in their hollow cores and seep near the floor. Poured walls leak at cracks and tie-rod holes. Every basement has a seam where the wall meets the floor, and water finds it.
Many older homes here had footing drains made of clay tile that has cracked or filled with silt, and some had no drain at all. Newer homes may have drains that run to an outlet that is buried or blocked. Crawl spaces with bare soil add damp air to the house. The first sign is often a musty smell or mold on stored boxes. By then water has been getting in for a while.
We install a drain inside the basement along the footing. That means cutting a strip of floor, laying perforated pipe in clean stone and running it to a sump pit. Wall membranes carry seepage from block walls down into the drain, and leaking cracks or tie-rod holes get injection. New concrete closes the strip, and the floor is ready to use.
A sump pump pushes the water out through a discharge line that we route away from the foundation, and a battery backup keeps it pumping in outages. Crawl spaces get a vapor barrier sealed to the walls, plus a dehumidifier if needed. We'll also flag ditches, culverts and downspouts that send water back toward the house.
Robertsville basements take on runoff from roads and slopes, clay that stays wet and aging footing drains. Our systems deal with each: a new drain at the footing, a sump with backup and sealed crawl spaces.
A perimeter drain captures water at the wall-floor joint and routes it to your sump before it reaches the floor.
A durable moisture barrier directs wall seepage into the drain and keeps the space dry and bright.
Collected water is moved out and away from your foundation by a high-capacity sump system.
The most common entry points are sealed watertight as part of the complete system.

Exceptional basement waterproofing, highly recommend. I had an outstanding experience with All American Basement for my basement.
We had our cellar door stairs waterproofed, a drain in the basement and downlines for our gutters installed. The crew was great to work with.
Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Yes, pooled water soaks the soil next to the foundation and pushes in at the weakest spots. Fixing the grading helps outside. An interior drain and sump catch what still gets through the wall.
It can be. Water pumped out beside the foundation can soak back in and cycle through the pump again. We route discharge lines farther away so the water stays gone.
Yes. A membrane on the walls sends seepage down to an interior drain, and the drain carries it to a sump. It works well on block and doesn't require digging outside.
Yes. We can add drainage and a sump in the crawl space, then seal the ground and walls with a vapor barrier. That keeps both water and damp air out of the house.
A battery backup sump pump takes over when the power or main pump fails. It's the simplest protection for a basement that relies on pumping. We'll size it for your pit.
Sometimes, if the water comes from one side only. But water often moves along the footing, so a partial fix may just move the leak. We'll tell you honestly what your basement needs.
Mold on stored items usually means high humidity, often from damp walls or seepage. We'll find where the moisture comes from. Drainage, sealing or a dehumidifier can bring it under control.
Most basements take one to three days. Crawl space work or a large basement may take longer. You'll get the schedule in writing, and we clean up each day.
Yes. It's written and it transfers to the next owner when you sell. That gives buyers peace of mind about the basement and can make the sale go more smoothly.
