Basement Waterproofing in Chesapeake, VA

Review Logo 4.8 (5,623)

Chesapeake experiences a significant amount of rainfall, with an average annual precipitation of around 45 inches. This moisture can lead to serious problems in your basement, especially when combined with the area's clay soils. The hydrostatic pressure from saturated ground can cause basement walls to crack, allowing water to infiltrate your home. Signs of water intrusion, such as musty odors, efflorescence, or wet drywall, can indicate that your basement is at risk. JES provides effective basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers to keep your space dry and healthy.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Chesapeake

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
