Basement waterproofing in St Louis isn't like repairing and waterproofing in Kansas City or Chicago, or any other city. We have a unique subterrain and unpredictable weather here. It floods here regularly. And many of the homes here are older.
So we see scenarios like Stephen is talking about here a lot. Either the homeowner is new to the area and doesn't know what basement waterproofing in St Louis looks like. Or an out of area company comes in, misinforms a local owner, and either makes the wrong repair that doesn't work or charges the client a large sum of money for a repair they don't need.

So What Does Proper Basement Waterproofing in St Louis Look Like?
Hiring a local expert should be the first step, a company that knows the neighborhoods in and around St. Louis, one that knows what our rainy seasons look like and what a challenge our winters can be.
Basement waterproofing in St Louis includes knowing what to do to prevent the problem in the first place and how to fix it properly if it's too late. If what the company tells you doesn't seem right, get a second opinion. Cheaper isn't always better, but neither is more expensive.
