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 !!!

The challenge we faced was working in a finished basement. To address this, we installed a Santa-Fe system.

The challenge we faced was that water was coming up through the floor where an old sump pit had been covered over.

To address this, we installed a new Fast Sump with a 1/3 HP pump. We also painted a few areas on the wall where the paint was peeling to give it a clean look, and we did not charge him for the paint touch-up.

Since it was a finished wall, it was not possible to see behind it, which made the leak harder to find. However, once the wall was cut, the leak was identified. To address the issue, we provided one wall of drainage system with a new pump replacement and a backup inverter for 24-hour protection.

The challenges we faced were that it was a really nice finished basement, so we had to be extra clean.

After our waterproofing specialist Steve Custus went out to inspect the issues, he recommended replacing the other waterproofing company’s drainage system with our patented GrateDrain drainage system, which can handle large amounts of groundwater efficiently. We also installed a new Grate Sump pump with a built-in pump stand and an airtight sump lid. Now that the groundwater problem has been taken care of, the homeowners have peace of mind.

We replaced the clog part of her existing system then applied some outside damp proofing to prevent mud from washing in again.

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 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.

Project Manager Steve Custus went out to meet with the homeowners in they stress the fact that they will be remodeling their basement in saw signs of water seepage and wanted to invest in the best drainage system on the market . So we provided the homeowners with a Grate-Drain system that will collect water below the slab and channel it to the new Grate Sump . We also protected the walls with a moisture & vapor barrier now they can finish their project knowing they have a Waterproofing system in place if they should ever need it

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 .

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 challenge we faced was removing the finished material to gain access to the foundation wall.

To address this, Project Manager Steve went out to meet with the homeowner and, after presenting a few solutions such as outside dampproofing and a sump pump with a drainage system, the homeowner chose the Grate Sump with a full vapor barrier and the Grate-Drain drainage system, which channels water below the basement slab to the Grate Sump.
