How can I make a damp basement dry?

When it comes to keeping your damp basement dry, installing a dependable basement waterproofing system is key.

How do I fix a leaky basement foundation?

There are many foundation waterproofing methods and products available to prevent water intrusion. However, most water problems can't be solved with a single product or treatment.

Leaking basement window

Project in West Des Moines

Classic two room basement in @55 year old suburban home. Hairline cracks on utility side which periodically seeped water at crack site and where cement block joins floors. Similar seepage in other side, but this has been covered with rubber/? linoleum-type squares installed more than 45 years ago, prior to my ownership. "Wet basement" issues may have been solved with recent new roof, wide gutters and downspouts and leaf filters; but I will need a very rainy year to find out. "Linoleum" on half basement may contain asbestos, as per testing done two years ago. I need guidance on these issues as to what, if anything, to do next.
