Basement Waterproofing in Washington, DC

Review Logo 4.7 (1,729)

In Washington, DC, heavy rains can pose serious challenges for homeowners, especially when it comes to basement integrity. The region's clay soils can retain moisture, causing hydrostatic pressure that leads to cracks in basement walls and potential water intrusion. With an average annual precipitation of around 40 inches, basements are at risk of developing musty odors, mold, and wet drywall. JES provides effective basement waterproofing solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers, to ensure your basement remains dry and protected from the elements.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Washington

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.
