A damp and flooded basement is something a lot of homeowners deal with on a regular basis. This is due to a water table that rises every time it rains, seeping into basements and causing damage and mold to countless living areas, rec rooms, and family areas. Jaco Waterproofing has been solving this problem for the homes and businesses of the Cincinnati and Dayton metro areas for 40 years, providing expert advice and affordable solutions for foundation waterproofing.

With basement waterproofing, there are two methods: exterior and interior waterproofing. Both methods seek to prevent the water from reaching your basement living areas, which in turn protects your home from mold and other forms of water damage. That's where their similarities end. 

Also known as "positive side waterproofing," exterior waterproofing involves exterior crack repair and a waterproof membrane or coating being applied to the outside of the basement walls to prevent water from entering. While this is an excellent option for homes that are currently under construction, applying this method to existing houses requires excavating around the entire foundation of the home, which can be extremely costly and can result in the removal of trees, shrubs, and even decks. 

Interior waterproofing involves interior basement crack repair and the installation of a sump pump and drain tile. A sump pump will remove water from under  the basement before it can rise to the level of being a threat to your possessions. Jaco Waterproofing can install one of these quiet pumps and drain tile systems under the floor of your basement for a reasonable price.
