Located right along the Mississippi River, Alton is famous for the beautiful limestone bluffs that bank the river along the north side of the city. This city also boasts a few more claims to fame, being the hometown of the tallest man in history, Robert Wadlow, and the great jazz musician Miles Davis. In addition to these famous ties to the city, Alton is also known for flooding along the river and occasional severe weather.
Flooding and severe weather can result in flooded and damp basements. If you see water in your basement, do not panic. There are easy ways to solve water problems. Whether your water problems are the result of damaged pipes, strong weather, or cracks in your foundation, a professional basement waterproofing company will get your Alton home back in order.
St. Louis Basement Pros has experience with a number of different basement waterproofing solutions. These solutions may involve the installation of appliances or the repair of cracks. One of the most commonly installed appliances is a sump pump.
A sump pump will help control the water that ends up in your basement. Connected to your sewage system, a sump pump will draw water out of your basement and pump it through the pipes towards your sewage. This will prevent flooding and help keep your basement dryer. Sometimes a backup pump will be used in the event that main sump pump loses power or is damaged.
