Gladstone grew in waves, ranches in the 50s and 60s, subdivisions filling in through the 90s. The Clay County soil up here carries more silt than the Kansas side, so water moves differently and foundations show it.

Frequently Asked Questions — Basement Waterproofing in Gladstone
Why do Gladstone basements take on water?
The most common call north of the river is a wet basement after a hard rain. The silty Clay County soil moves water to the foundation fast, and it finds cracks, joints, and the floor seam to get in. It's usually a drainage problem rather than a structural crisis, and we'll say so if that's the case.
What's the fix for a wet Gladstone basement?
Usually drainage and a sump pump. An interior perimeter drain collects the water and the pump moves it out before it pools. For an individual leaking crack we inject epoxy or polyurethane. We figure out which during the free inspection, and we won't push work the house doesn't need.
Do I need a battery backup for my sump pump?
We recommend it. The storms that flood basements up here are the same ones that knock out power, and a pump with no electricity is just a hole in the floor. A battery backup keeps it running through the outage, which is exactly when you need it most.
How much does basement waterproofing cost in Gladstone?
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.
