The JES Process
Basement Problem Signs in Hampton Roads
Whether you spend a lot of time in your Hampton Roads basement or rarely visit this area of your home, there are a few problem signs you might discover that point to the need for waterproofing or repairs.
Basement humidity, leaks, mold growth, efflorescence on concrete basement walls or floors, and musty odors are the most common signs to watch for. Contact your local basement specialists at JES as soon as you notice these and other problems to address them before further damage occurs.
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.
