Basement Waterproofing in Johnstown, PA

Review Logo 4.8 (1,275)

Basements are extremely utilitarian foundations that support your home and can be used as additional living space. Keep in mind, basements are quite susceptible to damage due to Johnstown's heavy precipitation and clay, silty soils. When rain or snow drains below the ground, water builds up around basement walls and puts pressure on them. This leads to leaking, wall cracks, and flooding. Basement water damage can also be caused by plumbing leaks. No matter where it comes from, Baker's stops water from damaging your basement with sump pumps, interior drains, and dehumidifiers.

Baker's Waterproofing, a Groundworks Company, specializes in helping homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting needs.

With fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, Baker's is here to restore your foundation or basement.

1,179 Johnstown Basement Waterproofing Experts 5 Star Reviews

"The technician, Bill, just finished the first annual inspection of the installation that was completed a year ago and I wanted to add my 2 cents worth to the many positive reviews already up. From estimate to this first inspection my experience with Bakers Waterproofing has truly been 5 star! At installation the technician felt that changing to wall anchors would be a better choice and, after some discussion with the company, was able to do the job with only a small adjustment in the final price. Since that time, each time I go into the basement, I am impressed with the appearance of the work and the knowledge that that wall is secure! Add to that the personable and caring technicians that do the follow-up work and I am confident in recommending Baker Waterproofing to anyone that asks!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Johnstown

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.
