Basement Waterproofing in Pittsburgh, PA

Review Logo 4.8 (1,287)

Basements are essential foundations that provide extra living space and structural support for homes in Pittsburgh. Due to the city’s high average annual precipitation of around 38 inches, basements are particularly vulnerable to water damage. The combination of Pittsburgh's clay and silty soils exacerbates the issue, as water can accumulate around basement walls and create pressure, leading to leaks, wall cracks, and flooding. At Baker's, we offer effective solutions to combat basement water damage with sump pumps, interior drains, and dehumidifiers.

Baker's Waterproofing, a Groundworks Company, is committed to helping homeowners in Pittsburgh with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and concrete lifting needs. Our mission is to deliver high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service throughout Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia. With our skilled technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, Baker's is dedicated to restoring your basement and protecting your home.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Pittsburgh

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.
