Basement Waterproofing in South Charleston, WV

Review Logo 4.7 (225)

Don't let your basement be a source of stress. With South Charleston receiving an average of 46 inches of annual rain and 28 inches of snow each year, water damage can feel unavoidable. The area's silty and clay loam soils easily absorb precipitation, creating tremendous pressure on basement walls and causing water to leak through cracks. BAWV offers reliable solutions such as below floor drains, dehumidifiers, and sump pumps to ensure your basement remains dry and safe. Let us protect your basement with high-quality moisture control today.

Basement Authority of West Virginia (BAWV), a Groundworks Company, specializes in helping homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space, and concrete needs. Our top priority is providing high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service across West Virginia.

Types of Basement Damage in South Charleston

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in South Charleston

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
