Collingdale, PA is known for its scenic suburban neighborhoods, strong school systems, and welcoming community atmosphere. Located northwest of Philadelphia, the area combines historic character with modern residential growth, outdoor recreation, and family-oriented living. While Collingdale offers an excellent quality of life, many homes throughout the area can still develop basement moisture problems and foundation concerns due to aging construction, fluctuating weather conditions, and shifting soil around the property.

At Jamison Basement Waterproofing, we provide professional basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions customized for the needs of Collingdale homeowners. Basement leaks, damp crawl spaces, excess humidity, and water intrusion are often caused by poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure, or deteriorating foundation materials. Our team performs comprehensive inspections to identify the root cause of the issue before recommending reliable waterproofing systems built for long-term protection.

Homes in Collingdale experience humid summer weather, freezing winter temperatures, and steady rainfall and snowfall throughout the year. These seasonal conditions can cause the surrounding soil to repeatedly expand and contract, creating pressure against basement walls and concrete floors. Over time, untreated moisture issues can contribute to foundation cracks, mold and mildew growth, musty odors, wood rot, and structural deterioration within the home.

Our experienced waterproofing professionals offer a wide range of services, including interior drainage systems, sump pump installation, crawl space encapsulation, exterior waterproofing, structural stabilization, basement moisture control, and foundation crack repair. Every solution is tailored to the specific condition and layout of the property to help ensure dependable, long-lasting results.

For more than 35 years, Jamison Basement Waterproofing has helped homeowners throughout the region maintain dry, stable, and healthier homes. As a family-owned and operated business, we are dedicated to delivering honest recommendations, quality craftsmanship, and dependable customer care backed by decades of hands-on waterproofing experience.

A big portion of the air you breathe comes from the basement and crawlspaces. You want to take as much care of your crawlspaces as much as you do for your basements. Jamison Basement provides complete solutions for keeping your crawlspaces dry including dehumidifier installation and crawlspace encapsulation.

Sump Pump Installation

Water will naturally flow to your basement, the lowest part of the house. To remove accumulated water, you will have to use sump pumps. We only install the most highly reputable sump pump brands. Aside from that, we make sure that you have reliable battery back-up so your sump pump will work even when there are power outages. This is particularly useful during storms when basement flooding is more likely.

Radon Gas Testing and Mitigation

Radon is a naturally occurring but dangerous gas that can enter your home through cracks in your foundation walls. It's an invisible and odorless gas, so you won't know if there's radon without the use of specialized tools. Jamison Basement provides radon testing and mitigation services in Collingdale.

After our project manager went out and met with Mr. Daniels he knew that Mr. Daniels just wanted a simple pump replacement so that's what we did . We replaced the very old outdated pump with a new 1/3hp cast iron pump with 3yr warranty. Now Mr Daniels can sleep at night with peace in mind now that he has a reliable pump .

Foreman Dwight and the crew faced the challenge of pumping the water out of the crawl space before they could get started.

To address this, Project Manager Steve Custus went out to meet with the homeowners, and after reviewing the home inspection report, he knew exactly how to solve the problem quickly and efficiently.

Steve provided the homeowners with a new Grate Sump with drainage matting and a full encapsulation seal system. He also replaced the rotted wood supports with new steel supports. Since the radon fan was not working, we replaced that as well. Lastly, and most importantly, we sealed the four open vents and provided insulation by spray-foaming the rim joists with closed-cell spray foam. Now the new homeowners have the confidence that the issue is solved, so they can move forward with purchasing their new home.

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended installing a French drain ( GrateDrain ) along the perimeter of the basement to direct water away from the foundation, along with a sump pump ( GrateSump ) to efficiently pump out any water that might accumulate. Here’s how we approached the project: 1. French Drain Installation: We began by digging a trench along the affected area of the basement floor. A French drain was installed in the trench, featuring our GrateDrain system that allows water to flow into the drain, preventing it from pooling on the floor. The drain was then connected to a sump pit. 2. Grate Sump Pump Installation: A high-efficiency 1/3hp sump pump was installed in the sump pit, designed to pump any collected water out of the basement and away from the foundation. This ensures that the basement remains dry, even during heavy rains or high groundwater levels. 3. Sealing and Finishing Concrete : Once the drainage system was in place, we sealed any cracks or gaps in the basement walls to prevent further moisture infiltration. The area was then cleaned, leaving the homeowners with a dry, safe, and functional basement. Results: A Dry, Mold-Free Basement After the French drain and sump pump were installed, the homeowners immediately saw results .. Another Dry Basement !!!

Project Manager Steve went out and after seeing that this was a finish basement he knew that he only got one I shot to get this basement waterproofing problem solved . So after hearing the homeowners out and was told that it was an on going problem on one wall in the basement he knew exactly how to take care of it . So he proposal full vapor barrier that will drain any wall leaks down into the Grate drain drain system which would channel the water to a knew Grate Sump .. This system provides the homeowners with a life time warranty so now they are confident enough to refinish their basement !
