Jenkintown's historic housing stock presents unique waterproofing challenges that require expertise in both modern waterproofing techniques and the preservation of historic construction. The original stone and brick foundations on many of the borough's oldest homes have deteriorating mortar joints that allow water to seep through at multiple points. Down Under Waterproofing specializes in addressing the moisture challenges of historic communities like Jenkintown, providing solutions that protect these irreplaceable properties while bringing their waterproofing systems up to modern standards.
Basement Waterproofing
Jenkintown's dense urban soils and poor drainage create persistent basement moisture problems, especially in the borough's historic stone and brick foundation homes. We install interior French drain systems and sump pumps designed to work with the unique construction of Jenkintown's historic housing stock.
Foundation Repair
Decades of moisture exposure and soil movement have caused foundation cracking and structural deterioration in many of Jenkintown's older homes. We repair stone and brick foundations, stabilize bowing walls, and underpin settling foundations to restore structural integrity.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Jenkintown's older homes frequently have unencapsulated crawl spaces exposed to decades of moisture. Our complete crawl space encapsulation system seals out moisture and protects the structural wood that supports your home.
Stucco Repair & Application
Stucco on Jenkintown's historic homes has frequently cracked and deteriorated due to moisture infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles. We restore deteriorating stucco, repair cracks, and apply modern waterproofing coatings.
Construction Restoration
Many of Jenkintown's oldest homes have severely deteriorated sill plates and structural wood caused by decades of moisture exposure. We replace damaged structural components and restore your home's structural integrity.
Above Grade Waterproofing
