How it works
Send Joe a photo
A wide shot of the wall or the wet spot, a close one of the worst of it, and what part of town you are in.
Joe looks at it
He looks at what the wall is made of and where the water is getting in, then tells you what he would do.
The work gets done
You know the plan before anything gets dug or cut. Then Joe does the work.
Joe Gomez, Des Moines
JC Cement is Joe Gomez's business, based in Des Moines, Iowa.
Most of the work is below ground. Old basement walls of stone and brick that are crumbling at the joints, basements that take water every spring, mortar that has turned to sand, and small basement windows that need to become a real way out.
Water is usually the cause, so that is where Joe starts. He looks at where it is coming in and what the wall is made of, then tells you what he would do.
Joe tells you where the water is coming from and what the wall needs before anything gets dug or cut.

Questions
What does JC Cement do?
Basement work and the masonry around it. Joe waterproofs basements, repairs old stone and brick basement walls, tuckpoints, and puts in egress windows and window wells.
Where are you based?
Des Moines, Iowa, in Polk County. If you are in a town nearby, call or text and ask.
Why does my basement get water every spring?
Snowmelt and spring rain soak the ground right when it is still half frozen, and the water pushes against the walls. Old mortar, cracks, low spots and window wells are the usual ways in.
My basement walls are stone and they are crumbling. Can they be saved?
Often, yes. Joe looks at how far gone the wall is, then fills, tuckpoints and coats it in cement. If a wall has moved or is bowing in, he will tell you that it may need more than a coat.
