Basement waterproofing in Huntington, WV

What kind of homes and basements does Huntington have?
Southside and Ritter Park have early 20th-century homes with brick and block basements; Guyandotte and Westmoreland include older homes on lower ground near the river; hillside neighborhoods have partial basements.
What causes basement and foundation problems in Huntington?
River-area groundwater
Even behind the floodwall, groundwater rises when the Ohio River is high, pushing water through basement floors.
Older brick and block basements
Historic foundations leak through mortar joints and need repointing and drainage.
Hillside runoff
Homes on slopes take runoff at uphill walls during storms.
Sewer backups
Older sewers can back up in heavy rain; backwater valves help.

What do Huntington homeowners ask most?
Why does my Huntington basement get wet when the river is high?
River levels raise groundwater under the city, which pushes up through floors and joints. Interior drainage and a sump handle that pressure.
Does a West Virginia contractor need a license?
Most contractors need a West Virginia Division of Labor license for jobs above a small dollar threshold.
Should I install a backwater valve?
If water comes up through floor drains in heavy rain, a licensed plumber can install one to prevent sewer backups.
