Water Damage Prevention for Philadelphia, Princeton & Wilmington Homes

Water Damage Prevention

Your basement is surrounded by soil that has moisture. When the water level of the soil beneath your basement rises, moisture finds its way to enter your basement through the leaks and cracks of the foundation walls and basement. Moisture can also occur in your basement due to condensation that eventually starts damaging the place. From creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew to creating dampness and foul odor, moisture can harm your basement in many ways, resulting in costly repairs.

Therefore, it is wiser to prevent it from entering the place in the very beginning and save your basement from water damages. At Jamison Basement Waterproofing, we provide you all the necessary methods and equipment to prevent water damage in the basement of your Philadelphia, Princeton or Wilmington area home. We provide you a combination of experience and advanced technology.

Ways Water Can Enter Your Basement in the Philadelphia Area

  • Hydrostatic Pressure: During heavy rain or melting snow, the soil absorbs the water. After being fully saturated when the soil can no longer absorb water, the water level rises. As a consequence hydrostatic pressure (water pressure) occurs, pushing the water through your basement walls and floor.
  • Window Well: If your basement doesn’t have proper drainage or the drain is clogged due to debris, or, the window well is not accurately installed, water cumulates in the well. During heavy rain that water leaks into your basement. The pooled water in the well will start leaking into your basement regardless of the window being defect-free.
  • Lateral Pressure: As, the soil surrounding your house is not fully compact due to the digging up and backfilling of the soil, after heavy rain the soil starts to expand and creates lateral pressure (pressure from sideway) against the foundation. It causes cracks in the basement walls and water easily leaks through.
  • Inadequate Sump Pump: The purpose of the sump pump is to pump and channel away water from the basement floor and foundation so that the water doesn’t gather under the floor. But due to poor maintenance, it fails to divert the water away, resulting in water leaking into the basement.
  • Faulty Plumbing: If any pipe is leaky inside your home, it can result in the pipe bursting and ultimately flood your basement.
