Folcroft, PA convenient location near Philadelphia, established neighborhoods, and strong sense of community make it a desirable place to call home. However, like many communities with older housing stock, local properties can become vulnerable to basement water intrusion, foundation settlement, and drainage issues as buildings age and environmental conditions change over time. Left unaddressed, these problems can affect both the comfort and structural integrity of a home.

At Jamison Basement Waterproofing, provides proven waterproofing and foundation repair solutions for homeowners throughout Folcroft. From minor moisture concerns to more significant structural issues, our team has the experience to diagnose the problem and recommend the right corrective measures. Common warning signs such as damp walls, standing water, musty odors, foundation cracks, and uneven floors often indicate underlying conditions that require professional attention. We take the time to identify the root cause before developing a customized repair plan.

Pennsylvania's changing seasons can create a challenging environment for foundations and basements. Extended periods of rainfall, snow accumulation, thawing ground, and humid summer weather can all contribute to excess moisture around a home's foundation. As surrounding soil becomes saturated and expands, pressure against foundation walls can increase, creating pathways for water infiltration and accelerating structural wear. These conditions may also contribute to mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality if moisture is allowed to persist.

Our comprehensive services are designed to help homeowners address both current problems and future risks. We install interior drainage systems, high-performance sump pumps, basement dehumidifiers, crawl space moisture barriers, foundation crack repairs, exterior waterproofing systems, and structural stabilization solutions. Every recommendation is tailored to the unique needs of the property to provide dependable, long-term protection.

For more than 35 years, Jamison Basement Waterproofing has helped homeowners throughout the region safeguard their homes from water damage and foundation concerns. As a family-owned business, we are committed to delivering honest guidance, quality workmanship, and lasting results. Our goal is to provide Folcroft homeowners with greater confidence knowing their basement and foundation are protected for years to come.

Crawlspaces Repair Services

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 Folcroft.

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 !!!

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 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 .

The challenge we faced was that it was a hard floor to demo.

To address this, we installed a drainage system along with a full vapor barrier on the back wall and a sump pump replacement.

The challenges we faced, besides the fact that she had a finished basement, were that the homeowner also had a second bathroom downstairs that we had to work around in order to install the drainage system properly.

To address this, we installed a full perimeter closed Grate-Drain drainage system with a new Grate Sump and 1/3 HP Fast Sump. We also installed a vapor barrier behind the finished walls and a Grate Trench at the door entryway to prevent any water from entering the basement from the Bilco doorway. This system offers a lifetime warranty. Now Michelle can have peace of mind and refinish her basement later down the line without the fear of it ever flooding again. She also has one year of free annual maintenance, during which we will return annually to clean out the Grate Sump and test the pumps for her. Problem solved.

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 !

The challenges we faced were that we had a totally finished basement with carpet and everything, so our Senior Project Manager Steve first had to find the leak by starting with an outside water test to locate it.

Steve had seen this problem a few times before, so he knew how to approach it. After finding the leak, he recommended removing the lower portion of the wall. We then installed a new drainage system, parged the wall where the mud was washing into the basement, and tested the existing sump pump. Problem solved, and the homeowner was happy that she did not have to replace her entire existing drainage system.
