Frequently Asked Questions — West Des Moines Homeowners
Many homes in established WDM neighborhoods have poured concrete or concrete block foundations from the 1960s–1980s. Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil expansion exert lateral pressure over decades, causing walls to bow inward. Carbon fiber straps and wall anchors can stop this movement permanently.
Absolutely. In WDM's competitive real estate market, a dry basement with a transferable warranty is a significant selling point. Most homeowners recoup 70–90% of waterproofing costs at resale, plus they avoid the much larger cost of foundation failure.
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 West Des Moines home, call BAM for a free assessment.
Yes. BAM Basements & Masons provides a transferable lifetime warranty on all waterproofing and drainage systems installed in West Des Moines and throughout Central Iowa. The warranty transfers to the new owner if you sell your home.
Most interior waterproofing projects in West Des Moines are completed in 1–2 days. Larger projects or those requiring exterior excavation may take 2–4 days. BAM minimizes disruption and cleans up completely before leaving.
