From minor seepage to full basement flooding, JCB Waterproofing and Construction provides engineered solutions that protect your foundation and your investment.
Four reasons why Hesston homeowners trust us with their most important asset.
Interior perimeter drains installed by our crew are fully sealed, backfilled with clean aggregate, and protected by a lifetime clog-free warranty that transfers to new owners.
We treat every crack, joint, and tie rod penetration as a potential failure point and address each one individually rather than painting over the problem.
Every technician on our crew holds current certification in basement waterproofing systems and participates in ongoing training as products and methods evolve.
We explain every line item in plain language because customers who understand what they are paying for are the ones who trust us with their second home or rental property later.
Most homeowners in Hesston do not realize that a wet basement is not simply a waterproofing problem -- it is a structural warning sign. Hydrostatic pressure that pushes water through walls does not stop pushing when the water is gone. It continues to stress the concrete and masonry, leading to horizontal cracks in block walls, inward bowing of poured walls, and undermining of the footing system. Addressing the symptom without understanding the root cause means spending money on solutions that fail within a few seasons.
Interior drain tile is the most reliable and widely proven basement waterproofing method for existing homes in KS because it manages water that has already entered the wall cavity rather than attempting to stop it at the exterior. The system consists of a perforated pipe, encased in clean washed gravel, installed at or below the footing level in a channel cut along the perimeter of the basement floor. Water that enters the wall-floor joint, seeps through cracks, or migrates through porous concrete flows into this channel and is directed by gravity to a sump basin. A properly sized sump pump then discharges the water away from the foundation. When correctly installed, this system operates indefinitely without clogging because the inlet is protected from sediment by the gravel bed and a filter sock on the pipe.
Wall seepage in block-construction basements is distinct from crack injection because the water is not coming through a single discrete opening -- it is migrating through the porous masonry itself and weeping through the mortar joints. Effective treatment requires sealing the interior face of the block with a hydraulic cement parging coat, followed by a crystalline waterproofing compound that reacts with moisture to form insoluble crystals inside the concrete matrix. This approach stops the migration rather than coating over it, producing a result that actually strengthens with repeated moisture exposure rather than degrading. For severe seepage, core-filling the hollow block cells with grout eliminates the cavity that allows water to travel vertically inside the wall before finding an exit point.
Floor cracks are a separate category of water entry that many homeowners underestimate. A hairline crack in a poured concrete floor can transmit significant water when the slab sits on soil with a high water table. Injection of these cracks follows the same principle as wall cracks: drill ports, install fittings, and pump polyurethane resin that expands to fill the void and bond with the surrounding concrete. In situations where the slab has heaved or settled, crack injection is supplemented with undercutting and re-pouring a portion of the slab to restore a flat, properly sealed floor surface.
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 Hesston, KS who maintain this schedule rarely experience warranty claims because we catch the small issues before they become large ones.
Six core services covering every source of basement moisture in Hesston homes.
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.
Poured concrete wall cracks are permanently sealed with low-viscosity polyurethane resin injected under pressure through surface-mounted ports drilled along the crack length.
We test every installation under simulated load conditions before completing the project, verifying pump cycling, float operation, and battery backup activation before we leave.
For severe seepage through block walls, we add core-filling with cementitious grout to eliminate the internal cavities that allow water to travel vertically inside the wall system.
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.
Below-grade window wells that collect rainwater are fitted with a dedicated drain at the base of the well, connected directly into the interior perimeter drain system.
We measure moisture levels at multiple points, probe for efflorescence sources, and map every water entry location before recommending any solution.
We prepare a detailed written scope covering all materials, methods, and warranty terms before scheduling any work so you know exactly what you are approving.
All debris is removed daily and the work area is restored progressively so your basement remains usable during multi-day projects.
We perform a complete post-installation inspection, take final moisture readings, and walk you through the system before issuing your written warranty documentation.
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.
The quote was detailed, the crew was on time, and the work was exactly as described. They even patched the concrete so neatly you can barely tell there was a drain trench cut.
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.
