Anchored Walls has been in the business of repairing and protecting foundations, basements, crawl spaces, concrete slabs, and sump pump installation services in the Des Moines area for over 40 years. One of the best ways to protect your home from water damage is with a sump pump. A sump pump is a cost-effective, proactive solution to remove excess water from your basement or crawl space and safely direct it away from your foundation. This system has been used since the mid 1940s to help homeowners in Des Moines prevent water damage and protect their homes from flooding and standing water.
The pump can either be freestanding or submerged in a sump pit, depending on the situation. A sump pump can be wired directly into your home’s electrical system or battery operated. A system of drains is installed to direct excess water to a floor drain and sewer, a dry well, or a lower spot far away from the house.
Your basement can be a beautiful area to expand your living space. It can be a great space for a game room, home office, or extra bedrooms. However, if it is wet and musty, it can not only be unpleasant, but it can harbor mold and mildew that can lead to respiratory illness. When water enters your basement, either through cracks in the foundation or from plumbing malfunctions, it can damage your home’s structure as well as destroy personal belongings. This is why sump pump installation services to your Des Moines home can be imperative.
The air from your crawl space can enter your living area. If mold and mildew are growing there, it can jeopardize indoor air quality, and water can puddle and compromise the structural integrity of your home by causing wood rot to support beams and floor joists.
A sump pump can prevent basement flooding and costly water damage to your home. Combined with other waterproofing measures, such as drainage systems, encapsulation, or dehumidifiers, our sump pump installation services in Des Moines offer an excellent, cost-effective way to protect the value of your home.

After getting bids and talking with a few different contractors regarding what we needed for waterproofing our basement, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed, anxious and stressed out. Elliott was a breath of fresh air. He's a very nice, respectful guy. He is very knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. After speaking with him, I felt more at ease and less anxious about the whole process. Because of Elliott, we plan to move forward with Anchored Walls for our basement waterproofing.
Anchored Walls techs, Zach and Kyle, came ready to work!!! They added 9 anchors to 2 of my basement walls to stabilize them. Those 2 men worked hard! I have attached 2 pictures, the first shows shovels over the holes so no one would fall in, and the finished yard. You cannot tell where the holes had been. Both men also added waterproofing to my basement floor. If Zach and Kyle are an example of what to expect when you hire Anchored Walls, then the company gets 5 stars from me. Great work Zach and Kyle !!! * * * * *
I bought an old townhouse and found leakage into the basement under a window well. I had Anchored Walls come out to inspect. Roger diagnosed the problem as 30-yr buildup of silt preventing water from draining down to the tile. He recommended excavation and rebuild with clean pea gravel fill. A 2-man crew accomplished that in half a day. I withheld submitting a review for 2 months until I could see if it fixed the problem. Over the July 4th weekend we got 9 inches of rain. The basement was bone dry. So I was pleased and impressed. The guys from Anchored Walls are experienced and know what they are doing. FIVE STARS!
From the project manager through all the folks working this huge mess, I am so thankful for the job that was completed. Kyle and team put up with all my questions and dealt with temporary fencing for my dogs. Always rrspectful and polite. I can't rate them or Anchored Walls high enough! Also Deb in the office keeping me updated and answering more questions. Lucas and Carson putting in the sump pump. If you have basement issues, definitely call this company!!
Anchored Walls of Winterset stabilized our Basement walls, leveled our driveway, and found an incredible and invisible solution to our 25 year sump pump drain exit. Matt Clayton was consistently kind and patient. He nailed our estimate and was Readily available for questions before, during, and after the project. Debbie was quick, responsive, and friendly to give us speedy and accurate answers to many questions. Finally, Brad was the man who finally solved our 25 year sump pump problem. He was super respectful with my wife, and somehow installed 30 foot of PVC into our yard, leaving zero evidence. You're work is amazing and we are more thankful for you than we can express! All this to say, we strongly recommend and refer Anchored Walls of Winterset. Great job and God bless you for your Efforts.

“Gabe & Taxson did a wonderful job of waterproofing our basement. They worked so hard chiseling concrete, carrying it up the stairs in buckets, then carrying rock and replacement cement down the stairs to fill in the dug up places, but most of all, they cleaned up the mess! Kip McMillen from United Services…”
