Basement waterproofing in Florence
What Florence homes mean for basement waterproofing
Florence mixes 1960s-1980s block-basement housing with extensive later subdivision construction on poured basements and sumps, so the city's water-entry profile spans two eras rather than one. Older block sections along the established core see joint seepage as mortar and parging age, while the newer I-71/75 corridor subdivisions generally already have a working sump and footing drain, so their calls tend toward backup power or discharge-line problems instead. Boone County's clay-heavy soil holds water longer than sandier ground, which keeps hydrostatic pressure a factor across both eras of Florence housing.
