CAUSES OF MOISTURE IN BASEMENTS

A great number of basement water problems can be solved by handling rainwater and surface drainage properly using gutters and downspouts with extenders or splashblocks to carry the water away from the foundation.

CAUSES OF CRACKING IN BASEMENTS

In the last couple of articles we have been discussing what I see and what you see when looking at the same area or item in a house. We have referred to this as “double vision.”

CAUSE AND EFFECT

The best approach for any water-related issue is to determine the cause, which can vary depending on conditions, such as soils, drainage and maintenance of supporting systems. Once the source is determined, the type of repair can be established. Making sure not to compromise or interrupt the operation of existing systems within the living environment. Drainage still needs to occur in any system, blocking or just sealing the wall will build up hydro-static pressure on your foundation and eventually cause more damage.
