Areas Where Water Can Enter Your Basement
Water can find its way into a basement in many different ways. As this diagram shows, it is possible for water to come through foundation walls, basement wall cracks, and even up from under the basement floor.
Wet Basement Repair
Water entering a basement is a common problem for home owners. Foundations made of stone, concrete block or concrete can let in water. This leads to water damage, mold, mildew and poor air quality. Jaco will develop an affordable solution for you and your home.
What Causes Your Basement to Leak?
During rains the water table surrounding your home rises. It can actually be higher than the floor of your basement. In an inadequately waterproofed basement the water can find its way in through a variety of areas. The water can show up by leaking through cracks in the floor or walls.
Interior Basement Waterproofing Process
Basements that have water leaks are repaired from the inside. It is far less expensive and easier than excavating the outside of the house for the repair.
The repair is the same for basements that have leaks through the wall-floor joint, floor cracks or block walls. A new and functioning interior drainage system will be installed. This interior drainage collects the water in a pipe that is buried under the floor. There it is channeled to a sump pump which then removes the water from the home.
Sump Pumps
A sump pump removes the water that enters your basement and prevents it from flooding. A sump pump sits in a sump crock. A sump crock sits in a hole that Jaco digs out in your basement. The sump pump sits inside the sump crock. Drainage pipes under your concrete floor drain water into the sump crock. The sump pump then removes the water to the exterior of the building. Sump pumps are powered be electricity. Jaco uses a very quite check valve that most of our competitors do not use. So while the pump is operating, noise will be greatly reduced.
Battery Back Up Sump Pumps
When a storm cuts off electrical power to your home a standard sump pump will not be able to work. Water can then quickly flow into the basement. Ask Jaco to install a battery back up system for your sump pump that maintains power to your sump pump and your basement stays dry!
Basement Crack Waterproofing
The concrete foundation of your home creates the basement area that you live in. When this foundation cracks, water can enter the basement. Water in the basement causes mold, mildew and unpleasant odors
There are many causes of a concrete foundation crack. You should know that most of the cracks can be repaired from the inside. Your home will not need to be disturbed on the outside. This basement crack repair is a low cost process that is quick and very clean.
Jaco Waterproofing will repair your leaking cracked concrete wall by injecting a liquid polyurethane into it. This liquid polyurethane expands inside the foundation crack on contact with water to form a closed cell foam. This closed cell foam fills the leaking basement crack from top to bottom and front to back. When completed your basement wall crack will be waterproof.

Basement Wall Crack Repair
Concrete basement and foundation crack repair is done from the inside of the basement. A technician will not have to dig up the foundation on the outside. The concrete basement crack is filled entirely by the liquid polyurethane. The liquid polyurethane expands on contact with water inside the foundation crack and seals the basement wall crack.
Once completed the foundation crack will not leak, water will not enter your basement and your possesions will be safe.

Quickly get your uneven concrete leveled by using Jaco. You no longer have to worry about tripping or unsightly looking concrete driveways and sidewalks. Even concrete steps can be leveled.
Slab Curl Repair
Warehouses, factories and other locations that utilize heavy machinery can experience slab curl. The edges of the concrete slabs deflect up or down. This can damage machinery that travels over the slabs. Polyurethane foam injection will stabilize these slabs.
Slab Joint Stabilization
Industrial concrete floor joints need to transfer vertical loads placed on them. Many warehouses now use machines that have small hard wheels that damage the joints. Polyurethane injection will stabilize these joints, prolonging the life of machinery and the floor itself.
Slab/joint stabilization applications require the voids to be filled to eliminate movement and offer support. This type of foam is specifically designed for joint/slab stabilization applications due to its very long reaction time and minimal expansion strength. It will take longer to expand, allowing for better coverage under the slab or down a joint.
Natural Look Concrete Sealing
By far the most common type of concrete driveway or sidewalk is the natural look of a brushed concrete installation. We use a sealer that preserves this look so that you do not have a glossy look.

Decorative Concrete Sealing
Decorative concrete is becoming a popular feature of many homes. The concrete can be colored or stamped to look like stone, brick or other natural building material. It is common for these to be coated with a glossy sealer. Jaco can apply a sealer to bring out the color and maintain the wet and glossy look while protecting it.
