WHY DOES MY BASEMENT LEAK?

Foundations that leak cause all kinds of damage to your basement walls whether you live in an old and new home. If your basement is leaking then there is no time like the present to have it repaired and have a better time to add extra layer protection.

When a basement is excavated, the soils that will be backfilled around the new foundation will be much looses soil than the surrounding, undisturbed ground. The loose earth will collect water much faster than undisturbed virgin soils. This water accumulates and eventually will enter into the foundation wall as they age and deteriorate.

HOW CAN I STOP MY BASEMENT FROM LEAKING?

A leaking foundation seems daunting to fix, but we can assure you that with the right waterproofing methods your basement will stay dry, a series of foundation protective coatings, and sealers that will keep the water from penetrating your foundation walls. Weeping tiles will carry away from your foundation and protect your basement from flooding and the event of extreme weather. The only way to relieve this pressure is to install protective layers on the walls, through a system of weeping tiles and sump pump, so that this accumulation of water can be redirected away from the foundation that allows the surrounding soils to eventually dry and settle.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO STOP LEAKS?

Moisture can cause all kinds of damage to concrete, timber, bricks and block structures, which in the end can cost you thousands of dollars in structural repairs.

Maintaining a dry basement is more important than you think as mold spores can travel all over your home and cause all kinds of health issues. Without proper protection, waterproofing provides that leak could be detrimental to health.
