Basement Waterproofing in Washington, DC

Review Logo 4.7 (1,672)

In Washington, DC, the combination of high humidity and significant rainfall throughout the year creates the perfect conditions for basement water issues. With an average annual precipitation of about 40 inches, the risk of hydrostatic pressure building up against basement walls is high. This can lead to cracks and leaks, allowing moisture to infiltrate and create an unhealthy environment characterized by musty odors and mold growth. JES provides effective basement waterproofing solutions through interior drains, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers to ensure your basement stays dry and protected.

Why your neighbors trust JES Foundation Repair

We've earned 1,497 five star reviews.

"JES Foundation Repair had the lowest pricing and the fastest response time--and I consulted with several other waterproofing companies that said there's no way any company would do the job at that price! I hired JES Foundation to waterproof the exterior of my home and install a crawlspace dehumidifier. The crew of Henry A. Portillo, Jose Rubio, and Jose R. Garcia did a great job of digging down to my footers, putting membrane and drain tile, and then backfilling the exterior. We had some miscommunication about the scope of the work, but Rudy made sure to send another crew and get the work done exactly as I expected it. And then Rudy sent both a mason and a handyman to fix any damage that was done by the Bobcat. I'd highly recommend JES Foundation Repair."

Types of Basement Damage in Washington

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Washington

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
