Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing in Adair County, Iowa

Yes. We work across all of Adair County, including the county seat of Greenfield and the town of Adair near Interstate 80, plus the rural acreages and farmsteads in between. Our nearest crews dispatch from the Van Meter area, so a service call to Adair County is a short drive east-to-west along the I-80 corridor.

Adair County sits on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain — a layer of wind-deposited loess over older Pre-Illinoian glacial till that has been deeply cut by erosion into rolling hills and valleys. This clay-rich ground swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells, which pushes on foundation walls and causes settlement. The sloping terrain also channels runoff toward basements and crawlspaces, so drainage problems are common.

It depends on the job. Adair County requires a driveway permit for any new driveway or widening that touches the county right-of-way, and separate permits exist for work in the right-of-way and tile crossings through the Engineer's office. For structural foundation work, check current requirements with the county and, if you live inside Greenfield, with the city. JLB handles the permitting questions that apply to your specific project.

We can usually schedule a free inspection in Greenfield or anywhere in Adair County within a few days of your call. Because Greenfield is centrally located along Highway 92 and Adair sits right on Interstate 80, our trucks reach both quickly. Active basement flooding or a fast-moving wall crack gets bumped up the schedule.
