Water seeping into basements and foundations can inflict serious damage on your home or commercial building, and in many cases you might not notice symptoms of water infiltration until it’s too late. Jaco Waterproofing, a reputable company with decades of experience in keeping buildings in the Cincinnati and Dayton areas dry, explains what basement waterproofing is, and how it can prevent problems from arising in the first place.

Basement waterproofing may be as simple as repairing and sealing cracks in the concrete, or could involve the installation of a new drainage system. Almost all waterproofing techniques are performed from inside the basement, as it is much cheaper, easier, and less destructive than excavating the exterior of the home.

Crack repairs in the basement wall or floor should be performed by experienced specialists with a detailed understanding of the proper method for keeping water out. An expert contractor can also keep water from seeping through the spaces between bricks without expensive rebuilding. In many cases, a waterproofing company will install an interior drainage system, which collects leaking water in a hidden pipe. From there, it’s channeled to a sump pump, which sends the water back outside where it belongs.

A properly waterproofed basement not only preserves the structural integrity of your home, but also creates dry, comfortable space usable for living quarters or additional offices. Jaco Waterproofing can repair and seal any existing basement, or install an appropriate interior drainage system in a new building.
