Hampton Roads Basement Waterproofing

Most homes in Hampton Roads, VA, are not built with basements because of the area’s high water table and loamy soils with sandy and silty properties. While only a small percentage of homes throughout the Hampton Roads area have basements, it’s still important to be aware of the problems they can experience, the causes behind them, and how JES Foundation Repair can help. If your home has a basement, read on to learn more about issues like water leaks and mold, as well as the solutions that will keep your basement and home permanently repaired and protected.
The JES Process
Basement Problem Signs in Hampton Roads
Whether you spend a lot of time in your Hampton Roads basement or rarely ever visit this area of your home, there are a few problems you might discover that point to the need for waterproofing or other repairs. Water leaks, moisture, mold growing in your basement or other parts of your house, efflorescence on concrete basement walls or floors, and musty aromas in the basement or throughout your house are the most typical trouble indications to be aware of. It’s crucial to contact your local basement specialists at JES as soon as you start to notice these and other problems in order to nip them in the bud.



Basement Condensation
Basement condensation can be a huge problem in many basements. In fact, even if you think you don’t have problems with basement condensation, you may actually have a slightly elevated level of humidity in your basement that’s high enough to cause serious concerns like mold and mildew.
Causes of Basement Damage in Hampton Roads
There are numerous causes of the aforementioned problem signs. While interior factors like a malfunctioning sump pump, leaky water heater, or ruptured plumbing line may be to blame, the soil under and around your Hampton Roads house is the most common cause of basement issues. After the basement walls are constructed, the soil that was dug up during the construction of your home is replaced. This loose sandy, silty loam soil is easily oversaturated, which can lead to the formation of an artificial water table and the clay bowl effect. Due to the hydrostatic pressure created by the water in the soil, basement walls may crack and leak.
