From minor seepage to full basement flooding, JCB Waterproofing and Construction provides engineered solutions that protect your foundation and your investment.
Four reasons why New Waverly homeowners trust us with their most important asset.
We design every interior drainage system from scratch based on your basement's actual water entry points, soil type, and floor elevation -- no one-size-fits-all kits.
Block wall seepage is addressed with a combination of core-filling, waterproof parging, and interior membrane systems that stop moisture transfer even under sustained hydrostatic pressure.
We document every installation with before-and-after photos, moisture readings, and a written record so you have evidence of the work performed and its conditions.
Our quotes include the scope of work, materials specified by brand and model, warranty terms, and the payment schedule -- everything you need to compare us fairly.
Hydrostatic pressure is the invisible force behind nearly every basement water problem homeowners face in New Waverly, IN. When soil around your foundation becomes saturated -- whether from heavy rain, snowmelt, or a high water table -- it exerts outward and downward pressure against concrete walls and floor slabs that can exceed hundreds of pounds per square foot. Over time, this pressure finds the smallest weakness: a tie rod hole, a cold joint between wall and footing, a shrinkage crack in poured concrete, or a deteriorated mortar joint in block construction. Once water finds its path, that path widens with every wet season until a trickle becomes a flood.
A well-installed interior drain tile system is designed around the specific hydrology of your property. Basements in New Waverly that sit in naturally high water table zones require larger-diameter pipe and higher-capacity pumps than basements that only collect surface runoff during heavy storms. Our assessment process measures both the volume and the frequency of water intrusion to right-size every component -- from the pipe diameter to the pump horsepower and battery backup capacity.
In poured concrete walls, the most common seepage points are cold joints, tie rod holes, and form tie locations. These are concentrated, well-defined penetrations that respond well to polyurethane or epoxy injection -- a process of drilling small ports along the crack or joint, installing surface-mounted injection ports, and pumping low-viscosity resin under pressure until it fills the void completely. The cured resin is permanently flexible or rigid depending on the product chosen, creating a watertight seal that moves slightly with seasonal concrete expansion without reopening.
Window wells in below-grade basement windows are a frequently overlooked water entry point. When the well fills with rainwater faster than the soil at the bottom can absorb it, that water presses directly against the window frame -- typically the weakest point in the entire basement envelope. We address window wells with a dedicated drain assembly at the base of the well, tied into the interior perimeter drain system, combined with a properly sized and anchored polycarbonate cover that deflects rain while allowing emergency egress.
Our written warranty covers both the installed drainage system and the sump pump equipment against defects in materials and workmanship. We recommend scheduling an annual inspection with our team to check that pump floats are operating freely, the battery backup is holding a charge, and the drain system's outlet is unobstructed. Homeowners in New Waverly, IN who maintain this schedule rarely experience warranty claims because we catch the small issues before they become large ones.
Our full-service waterproofing menu addresses every water entry point from foundation wall to window well.
We size every drain tile system to the specific hydrology of your basement, ensuring the pipe diameter and sump pump capacity match your worst-case water intrusion load.
Injection ports are removed after cure and the wall surface is patched flush, leaving a clean repair with no visible hardware remaining on the wall face.
We test every installation under simulated load conditions before completing the project, verifying pump cycling, float operation, and battery backup activation before we leave.
The finished surface is coated with a heavy-bodied elastomeric masonry waterproofer that bridges hairline cracks and resists surface moisture transmission year-round.
Basement floor cracks that allow water infiltration from below are treated with polyurethane injection resin pumped under pressure to fill the void and bond with surrounding concrete.
We install polycarbonate well covers sized and anchored to each specific well, deflecting direct rainfall while meeting egress requirements and maintaining ventilation.
We measure moisture levels at multiple points, probe for efflorescence sources, and map every water entry location before recommending any solution.
Our quotes include alternatives at different investment levels so you can choose a phased approach if budget requires it.
All debris is removed daily and the work area is restored progressively so your basement remains usable during multi-day projects.
Your warranty packet includes installation photos, moisture reading logs, and contact information for scheduling future annual inspections.
We had serious standing water every spring for eight years. JCB Waterproofing and Construction installed a full perimeter drain and sump system and we have been completely dry through two wet seasons since.
Professional from the initial phone call to the final walkthrough. They explained every step of the process and answered every question without making me feel rushed.
Excellent crew, fair price, and the basement has been dry for fourteen months now including one of the wettest summers our area has seen. Highly recommend.
