What kind of homes and basements does Billings have?
Older neighborhoods near downtown and the South Side have early 20th-century homes with basements; the Heights and West End have postwar and newer homes on basements and crawl spaces.
What causes basement and foundation problems in Billings?
Bentonite swelling
Swelling clays can heave basement floors and crack walls.
Snowmelt seepage
Melting snow saturates soil around foundations in spring.
Rimrock runoff
Homes below the Rims can take runoff and groundwater from above.
Hail and gutter damage
Billings sees damaging hail storms that dent and clog gutters and downspouts. Damaged gutters overflow next to the foundation, so inspecting gutters after storms helps prevent basement leaks.

What do Billings homeowners ask most?
Do Montana contractors register with the state?
Construction contractors with employees register with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry; Billings issues building permits.
Why is my Billings basement floor heaving?
Swelling clays under some homes expand when wet. Directing water away from the house is the first step; persistent heave needs an engineer.
When do Billings basements usually leak?
Most often during spring snowmelt and early-summer thunderstorms, when water arrives faster than soil and gutters can handle. Clearing snow away from walls before it melts and keeping downspouts discharging several feet from the house are the cheapest first steps.
