Review Logo 4.7 (1,667)

Capitol Heights experiences a significant amount of annual rainfall, averaging around 40 inches, which can lead to serious basement water issues. The combination of saturated soil and hydrostatic pressure can cause moisture to seep into your basement, resulting in cracks in the walls and floors. This not only creates an unpleasant environment but can also lead to more severe problems, such as mold and structural damage. At JES, we offer effective basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers to keep your basement dry and healthy.

Types of Basement Damage in Capitol Heights

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Capitol Heights

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
