Perhaps, one of the most severe risks of not fixing a wet basement, is the proliferation of mold and mildew. Mold significantly reduces the resale value of your home and will detract the majority of potential homebuyers in your community. More importantly, however, is the fact that mold and mildew growth in your wet basement can lead to health problems for you and your loved ones. These mold spores are released into the air you breathe and can cause flu-like symptoms, headaches, respiratory problems, fevers, and more. If left untreated in the basement, the mold can actually start growing in other parts of your home. Protect your biggest investment and your health by waterproofing your basement with Iowa's experts at Anchored Walls.
As stated above, mold can be very dangerous to your family's well-being. If water is able to collect in the basement of your home, it acts as a breeding ground for the growth of mold and mildew. Breathing in mold on a daily basis is detrimental for you and your family’s health.
Don't put your family at a greater risk for health problems. Have your basement waterproofed by Iowa's professionals at Anchored Walls as soon as possible to avoid dangerous living conditions.
Chances are, you use your basement as either a storage area, as extra living space or both. If your basement isn’t waterproofed, all of your personal belongings are at risk of being damaged by water seepage. A heavy rainstorm may cause your basement in Iowa to flood, which will destroy your new TV, collectibles, heirlooms, photographs and more.
Don’t let this happen to your family’s precious belongings. Let our basement waterproofing company in Iowa take care of your wet basement repair once and for all.
A dry basement makes for a great, new living space for your family. If your basement isn’t wet, you have the ability to add hundreds of livable square feet to your home. This gives you the opportunity to add a new bedroom, bathroom or entertainment room.
We offer homeowners in Iowa drainage and basement waterproofing systems that are ideal for growing families who want to add living space to their home, instead of moving into a brand new one.
Your home is your greatest investment, so it's important to do everything in your power to keep the structure of it sound. If water gets into your house, the resale value will dramatically drop. Similarly, if you try to sell your home with a damp basement, it will ultimately show up on an inspection. This will hinder the sale until a basement waterproofing system is installed.
By waterproofing your basement with Iowa's professionals at Anchored Walls, you're ensuring that your home and basement will look and smell great for the foreseeable future.
Our interior waterproofing solutions stop water at the source by capturing leaks from basement walls and floors before they enter your living space. They control and direct moisture safely away from your home, pumping it out to keep your basement dry and usable year-round.

Read lessAccording to This Old House, basement waterproofing projects typically range between $2,500 and $8,000, depending on the size of your home, the extent of the problem, and the type of solution needed. Costs can vary based on whether the work involves interior drainage, sump pump installation, or exterior membrane systems, but many homeowners are pleasantly surprised to find that effective waterproofing is more affordable than expected.
Absolutely. Finishing your basement without a waterproofing system can trap moisture inside, leading to mold, rot, and ruined finishes. A properly sealed basement ensures long-term comfort and protects your investment before drywall or flooring goes in.
It can be hard to tell: interior wet spots may come from leaks, condensation, or indoor humidity, while exterior issues stem from poor drainage or groundwater. A professional inspection can determine the source, then match it to the right solution, whether that’s interior sealing or exterior drainage.
Yes, especially if it’s wider than a hairline, actively leaking, or paired with moisture. Cracks can let water in and weaken your foundation over time. Interior crack injection or exterior sealing can fix leaks; if it’s structural, you’ll want to explore foundation repair options to protect your home.
A persistent musty odor often means moisture is present, even if you don’t see leaks. That dampness creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew. As air moves through your home, the smell and potentially harmful spores can drift upstairs. Addressing the moisture source is the only way to eliminate it for good.
Water intrusion during rain is usually due to hydrostatic pressure—rainwater accumulating in the soil pushes through foundation cracks, joints, or window wells. It might seem harmless at first, but repeated leaks signal worsening conditions. A drainage system or professional waterproofing can stop this for good.
If you don’t have a basement waterproofing system installed at your home, the moisture that collects will eventually begin to cause your basement walls and floors to deteriorate. Also, excessive basement moisture can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which is unsafe for your family to be breath
Basement moisture is usually caused from cracks along the foundation or an improper drainage system. Foundation cracks act as an entry way for water. Water always seeks the path of least resistance, and this means that water is very likely to enter through these foundation cracks.
If left untreated, basement moisture can begin causing damage to both your basement walls and your basement floor.
