Basement Waterproofing in Roanoke, VA
Unlike many areas throughout Virginia, Roanoke – located in southwest Virginia along the Blue Ridge Mountains – has a fair percentage of homes with basements. Basements are typically built well below ground level and are versatile areas that can be used for everything from extra storage to entertainment and living space. But they are subject to damage including moisture, leaking water, mold growth, and other problems.
All is not lost, however. To keep your Roanoke basement in top shape, the key is to have it professionally inspected and repaired. That’s where our experienced team at JES Foundation Repair comes in. We’ll evaluate your home and suggest the best solutions to keep it free of water problems. Keep reading to learn more.

Basement Problem Signs in Roanoke
When there is a problem in your basement, you’ll know it in a variety of ways. Some may not be as noticeable, but others are quite obvious. Some of the most common basement problems homes in Roanoke experience include musty and unpleasant odors, increased pest activity, mold growth, condensation, elevated humidity, wet drywall, and wet floors and carpets. Water on the walls and floor, as well as flooding are other highly visible indicators. Don’t let a trickle of water or cluster of mold turn into a widespread hazard. Reach out to local professionals as soon as possible for a permanent fix.
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.
Efflorescence
If you’ve ever seen a chalky, white powder on your basement walls, you may not have known what you were looking at. Professionals refer to this residue as “efflorescence,” and it’s more of a warning sign than you might have thought.
Wet Drywall
Wet drywall can be a problem that’s difficult to find and even more difficult to fix. The solution of ripping out the drywall and replacing it doesn’t typically work because your new drywall will probably become wet quickly too.
Causes of Basement Damage in Roanoke
Your wet basement problems could arise from any number of causes. Interior sources that could be to blame include leaking pipes or appliance failure like a malfunctioning sump pump or leaky water heater. External forces like the weather and soil, however, are typically what is behind your basement troubles. Roanoke has an interesting variety of soil types that range from sandy to silty loam that can be gravelly and have some clay content. However, if any of these soils become overly saturated, which is common because of the area’s constant rain, they can lead to excessive hydrostatic pressure as well as basement cracks and leaks.
Poor Foundation Drainage
Overflowing gutters, clogged gutters, poor drainage grading and ineffective yard grading contribute to a wet basement. Then the water will drain next to your basement foundation, instead of away from it – then basement leaking begins.
Sump Pump Issues
Basement sump pump issues can lead to water problems which are a mess to clean up and can damage your home.
Leaky Basement Windows
A leaking window well can make a giant mess in your basement which can make it much less comfortable.
Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Roanoke
If your Roanoke home has a wet basement, it can greatly benefit from various repairs. DIY fixes are temporary at best and not recommended for the longevity of your basement. It’s important to have customized solutions to fit exactly what your basement needs. Some of the solutions your JES inspector might recommend for your basement include an interior drain, sump pump, dehumidifier, wall vapor barrier, and more. Each of these important pieces of the puzzle make up a complete basement waterproofing system that will keep water and other damage from getting the best of your home.
Dehumidifier
A basement dehumidifier will help combat humidity issues in order to keep your basement dry and conserve energy.
Sump Pump
If you’ve got constant water leaking into or flooding your basement, a sump pump is the answer to getting that water out of your home.
French Drain
BasementGutter™ Interior Drain Systems are the best basement waterproofing solutions. Keep your home safe and dry with the JES experts.
