Basement Waterproofing

Finding water in your basement is troubling and stressful, but with Jaco on your side, you can quickly get back to enjoying your basement without worrying about water damage. Basement waterproofing typically involves applying waterproof coatings or sealants to the interior or exterior walls, installing a drainage system such as French drains or a sump pump, and ensuring proper grading and landscaping around the foundation. Contact Jaco for basement waterproofing services including:

Basement Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps collect water that enters the basement and pumps it out through a discharge pipe, managing water levels and protecting your basement from flooding. This provides an essential safeguard against water damage and helps you maintain a dry basement, while also protecting everything within it.

Basement Egress Window Installation

Installing egress windows serves as an emergency exit and provides natural light and ventilation in the basement. Required in finished or habitable basements, egress windows are designed to be large enough for a person to safely exit and play a critical role in ensuring the safety of occupants by providing an alternative escape route in the event of an emergency.

Basement Window Well Installation

No egress window installation is complete without an accompanying window well. A basement window well provides an exit and entry point for your family and emergency personnel. Window wells are available in a variety of styles and colors to match your home.

Brick Waterproofing Service

Concrete Leveling Services

Jaco uses polyurethane foam concrete lifting and mudjacking solutions to level concrete slabs back to their desired heights and conditions.

Concrete leveling resolves tripping hazards, improves drainage, and restores the functionality and appearance of the concrete slab.

New Construction Waterproofing

Jaco specializes in new construction waterproofing solutions designed to fortify buildings against water intrusion. Using cutting-edge techniques and premium materials, we create robust barriers in critical areas like foundations, basements, and exteriors.

Foundation Services

Commercial Air Barrier

A commercial air barrier system fills any cracks or gaps to eliminate water vapor or air from leaking into the building. By reducing uncontrolled airflow, a commercial air barrier improves energy efficiency and enhances indoor air quality. This helps maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels within the building, resulting in increased comfort and consistently dry indoor conditions.

Sheet Waterproofing

Among the most effective ways to protect your commercial building from leaks and water intrusion is sheet waterproofing. The process is versatile and involves the installation of self-adhered waterproofing membranes or sheets to create a reliable barrier against moisture. Sheet waterproofing is commonly used for roofs, foundations, basements, and other areas prone to water exposure, effectively preventing water intrusion and protecting the structure from water damage.

Cementitious Waterproofing

Cementitious waterproofing is a durable and cost-effective waterproofing solution used for various concrete structures. It involves applying a cement-based coating to concrete surfaces, forming a protective barrier that resists water penetration. Cementitious waterproofing is commonly used for below-grade structures, such as basements or retaining walls, as it provides excellent adhesion to concrete and can withstand hydrostatic pressure, effectively preventing water intrusion and protecting the structure from moisture-related issues.

Bentonite Clay
Waterproofing

When exposed to water, bentonite clay expands to create an impermeable barrier against water. This method involves applying bentonite clay panels or sheets to foundation walls or below-grade structures. Bentonite clay waterproofing is known for its self-sealing properties, making it an effective solution for preventing water intrusion and protecting against potential leaks or other moisture-related problems.

Drainage Composites

Drainage composites are commonly used in areas where water needs to be drained away from an area to prevent pooling. This makes them a common choice for use behind retaining walls, under plaza decks, or alongside foundations. Redirecting water away from the building will prevent water buildup, reduce hydrostatic pressure, and protect the structure’s integrity.

Commercial Waterproofing Services

Our pressure washing services including:

Concrete Pressure Washing

From dirt to stains and everything in between, concrete pressure washing restores the appearance of your concrete structures, like driveways, walkways, patios, and exterior walls. Regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent deterioration and prolong the life of your concrete surfaces, enhancing the overall appeal and value of your home or business.

Brick Pressure Washing

Bricks are porous materials, meaning they can absorb dirt, grime, mold, and other contaminants over time. Brick pressure washing is a highly effective method for cleaning and rejuvenating the appearance of brick surfaces. Using high-pressure water jets, this process can remove stubborn stains, moss, algae, and even paint from bricks, restoring their original color and texture.

Masonry Pressure Washing

Like brick, many masonry materials can easily absorb dirt and other contaminants that affect the appearance of your home. Having your masonry pressure washed is a great way to restore its appearance and provide your home with greater cleanliness and curb appeal. Masonry pressure washing involves using high-pressure water jets to remove dirt, grime, mold, and stains from various masonry surfaces, such as concrete, stone, and stucco.
