Basement Waterproofing in Palmyra, PA

Review Logo 4.8 (1,356)

Basements can provide essential living space, but in Palmyra, the potential for water intrusion is significant due to the area's average annual precipitation of approximately 40 inches. This moisture can seep into basements, particularly in regions with clay and loamy soils that retain water and create hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls. The result is wall cracks, leaks, and ultimately, flooding. At Baker's, we offer effective solutions such as dehumidifiers, interior drains, and sump pumps to keep your basement dry and protected from water damage.

Baker's Waterproofing, a Groundworks Company, is committed to delivering top-tier foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting services to homeowners in Palmyra and surrounding areas.

"Baker’s Waterproofing is a great company to work with. Inspection of basement done , contract signed and date schedule for work.. Jon K, Chase D, Corbin G, and Chris C were the gentleman that did our work. Very professional, friendly and hard working. All gentleman introduced theirselves when they arrived. Jon explained what work was being done and showed the material being used. He explained the function of the pumps and back up batteries. Walk through of basement before work and after work was done. Working on an old house is a challenge but they over came the obstacles and completed the work in the scheduled time. Jon K was the leader of the group and at the end of the day I heard him thank his coworkers for sticking in there and getting the 1st days work completed. We will definitely refer this company to others that are in need of waterproofing. Thanks again to the above mentioned workers for working so hard and doing such a fantastic job."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Palmyra

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
