Frequently Asked Questions — Urbandale Homeowners
Split-level homes have basement walls that are partially above and below grade. The below-grade portion faces hydrostatic pressure from clay soils, while the transition zone where the wall meets grade is a common entry point for water. BAM specializes in diagnosing and sealing these transition areas.
A properly installed interior drainage system with a quality sump pump should last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance. BAM's systems come with a transferable lifetime warranty, so the protection stays with the house even if you sell.
Warning signs include horizontal or stair-step cracks in basement walls, doors and windows that stick, uneven floors, and visible gaps between walls and ceiling. If you see any of these in your Urbandale home, call BAM for a free assessment.
Yes. BAM Basements & Masons provides a transferable lifetime warranty on all waterproofing and drainage systems installed in Urbandale and throughout Central Iowa. The warranty transfers to the new owner if you sell your home.
