Leaky Basement

A leaky basement normally gets worse if it is not dealt with and fixed, and can become very costly to you. Basement waterproofing is a basic need for your home that should be addressed as soon as any water leaks are found. 

Leaky basements can occur in your home in different ways.   Knowing where and how the water is getting into your basement is only the first step in battling the problem. A professional waterproofing contractor can help you determine how the water is entering your basement and what waterproofing method is best for your situation. Following are three examples of how water can create a leaky basement

  1. Hydrostatic Pressure - When any water or moisture from the sky saturates the soil and meets the existing ground water.  This raises the water table in the soil and in turn, starts to put pressure against the foundation walls from the outside.  This can cause cracks in the foundation walls and floors, allowing water to seep through causing a leaky basement.  This pressure can also cause the walls to start to buckle inward, weakening the entire foundation.
     
  2. Basement window wells – Water accumulating and settling in the window wells outside the home can start to seep through and get into your basement.

  3. Seeping through concrete foundation – Water can also seep through the pores of concrete block and poured concrete.  A lot of times you will not notice this happening right away until you see the white or brown powdery substance it leaves behind called efflorescence. 

Basement waterproofing of the problem areas in your home can be helpful in keeping water out of your home.  Waterproofing your leaky basement helps to keep mold and mildew out and provides a safe environment for your family and your property.
