Belton has an older core and a ring of newer subdivisions, and the Cass County clay doesn't care which one you live in. We inspect for free and tell you straight whether it's serious or cosmetic.

Wet basements in Belton are almost always a soil and drainage problem. The clay around Cass County doesn't drain. It holds water and pushes it against your foundation walls for months after every storm. We stop it at the source.
The deep Cass County clay holds water against the foundation and pushes it through cracks and the floor joint after every storm. On the newer subdivision homes, settling on graded fill opens gaps where water gets in, and grading around fresh lots often sends runoff back toward the house.
For most homes it's an interior perimeter drain tied to a sump pump, which collects water at the floor-wall joint and pumps it out. Individual cracks get injection. We figure out the right setup during the free inspection rather than guessing.
We recommend it. The storms that flood basements here knock out power at the same time, and a pump with no electricity is useless. A battery backup keeps it running through the outage, which is exactly when the water is rising.
A crack injection is relatively inexpensive, while a full interior drain and sump system runs higher depending on the basement. The inspection and written estimate are free, and financing is available if you'd rather spread it out.
