We’re known as plumbers, but on a basic level we’re just guys who tell water where to go. You want to keep water AWAY from your foundation. Nothing can destroy a home – or make your basement unusable – the way water can.
A weakened foundation can damage the structural safety of your entire home. Slanted floors? A crumbling foundation might have shifted your floor joists. Window won’t open or close easily? The foundation damage may have caused the studs in the wall to bow and squeeze your window.
With water damage, a pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood. It is MUCH less expensive to do some basic basement waterproofing and maybe foundation repair than to fix structural damage. Your house will be a construction site for months or more, and repair bills will be endless. Your insurance won’t help nearly enough or much at all.
Your home doesn’t need to suffer like that, and neither do you. With a little preventive maintenance, it’s easy to add decades to your home’s lifespan and keep more zeroes in your bank account. Whether you need foundation crack repair, foundation sealing, a weeping tile system, or just about anything else for redirecting water, John The Plumber can help you now.
We begin by assessing your foundation walls and exterior foundation walls for signs of cracks or weak points. From there, we excavate around the foundation and apply a high-quality waterproofing membrane, like liquid membranes or sheet membranes, ensuring full coverage and a reliable barrier.
Our waterproofing system focuses on exterior waterproofing, using drainage systems such as French drains and weeping tiles. This prevents water from accumulating near your foundation and basement windows. Installing window wells and ensuring proper footing protection are also key parts of our waterproofing project.
If we detect cracks in your foundation walls, we provide expert foundation crack repair to eliminate the risk of water-related issues. This includes sealing cracks and reinforcing the foundation with waterproofing materials to prevent future leaks.
For homes prone to flooding, we install sump pits and sump pumps to remove excess water, preventing moisture buildup around your basement and foundation. This additional layer of protection ensures water is redirected away from your foundation.
