Basement Waterproofing in Charleston, SC

Review Logo 4.8 (429)

Basements are particularly susceptible to water damage, especially in Charleston, where moisture levels are heightened due to its coastal climate. After significant rainfall, water seeps into the soil, which can become saturated and exert pressure against basement walls. This can lead to cracked walls, leaks, and mold growth, all of which compromise the structural integrity of your home. Mount Valley Foundation Services offers effective waterproofing solutions, including dehumidifiers, drainage systems, and vapor barriers, to keep your basement dry and secure.

Mount Valley Foundation Services, a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing exceptional foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete services to homeowners in Charleston.

"I had the opportunity to work with Don Lester from Mt. Valley, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Before contacting Don, I had another company come out to give me a quote, but they spent very little time onsite and barely pointed out any issues. Don, on the other hand, was incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk through every detail, identifying potential issues and explaining all of the available options. His expertise and dedication to ensuring everything was covered gave me complete confidence in his recommendations. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, Don is the person to call."

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in 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.
