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 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.

I had my slab lifted with push piers then filled with poly and this company came in a tad bit more expensive than some other companies however the quality and warranty made them worth the extra cost, which in my opinion is marginal, and their team was professional and explained everything so I knew what was going on during the process. I definitely recommend JES for your foundation repair needs. Huge thanks to the crew that did the repair for push piers it was Agustin G., Agustin L. and Eduardo L. Poly was Andrew F. and Steven S. Super professional they got in did their work and cleaned up great looks like no one was ever there.
