What kind of homes and basements does Spokane have?

What causes basement and foundation problems in Spokane?
Snowmelt seepage
Spring melts saturate soil against basement walls.
South Hill slope drainage
Homes on the South Hill take runoff at uphill walls.
Older stone foundations
Basalt and brick foundations need compatible repairs and drainage.
Basalt bedrock and perched water
Shallow basalt in parts of Spokane can trap water above the rock, sending it toward foundations. Interior drainage is often more practical than excavating rock outside.

What do Spokane homeowners ask most?
How do I check a Washington contractor?
Verify registration, bond and insurance on the Washington Department of Labor & Industries website.
When do Spokane basements leak?
Most often in late winter and spring during snowmelt, especially on sloped South Hill lots.
Does Spokane have radon in basements?
Eastern Washington has areas with elevated radon. Testing is recommended for basements used as living space. If a basement is being waterproofed, a sealed sump lid and sub-slab drain can be laid out to double as a radon mitigation system, which is cheaper than adding one later.
