Cove Joint Seepage
This is the area where the wall and floor meet inside of the basement. Whenever there is a weak seal here, it is only a matter of time before moisture from the soil outside is able to get in and cause damage. Rising and falling water tables caused from droughts and excessive rainfall can put a lot of pressure on this seal, and eventually, it can cause it to break.
Some contractors will recommend re-sealing this area to take care of the moisture intrusion. However, at St. Louis Basement Pros, we realize that this is not an effective way to go about taking care of the problem. Sealing this area will only cause the pressure from the earth to build up elsewhere, and this can cause a variety of other problems, including leaning or bowed walls.

foundation repair
I had a retaining wall that was in disrepair. They came out and secured and repaired the retaining wall quickly. It is working as it should and looks much better than it did before.
Basement Waterproofing
Their team installed a basement waterproofing system in my home about a year ago. I was having trouble with water entering my basement during heavy rains, and a moist, damp feeling in the air when I went downstairs. The team was professional, well prepared, and completed the job in a reasonable time frame. The system does whats it’s advertised to do, and I have not had any issues with water entering my home since. Good company, even better product.
Basement waterproofing, leaky basement issue
This is Vincent in Chesterfield and I wanted to say “thanks” for making peace in our household. For the past 5 years I have been putting all kinds of short term bandaids on our water intrusion issue in the basement….we finally went ahead and install the drain tile and sump as your team recommended.
After all this time I finally have no worries when I hear it starting to rain. Just this past week our rain gauge showed almost 3″ in about 5 hours – not a drop of water in the basement or crawl space.
Excellent work and again thank you….
