Water is the most common, and probably the biggest, enemy of a basement. It can cause wood to rot. It can also result in structural damage. It is therefore important to deal with leaks as soon as you discover them.
Water in the basement can be as a result of a leak or condensation. It is important to determine which problem you’re dealing with before you call in the professionals. This ensures that you don’t spend a lot of money on something that calls for a simple solution.
A simple and quick test will help you determine whether you’re dealing with a leak that is coming through your walls or just some condensation from the pipes running within your basement. Use some tape to fix a square of tin foil or plastic sheet to the wall that you suspect to be leaking. Ensure that all four sides are taped and sealed. Wait for a few days to check on it. If there is moisture on the underside of the foil or plastic sheet, then the water is coming through the wall.
Basement walls can leak as a result of ground water. When rainwater accumulates in the soil it results in high hydrostatic pressure. This causes the water to search for a way out. Water in the surrounding ground soil can penetrate basement walls through cracks that already exist in the walls. The pressure from the surrounding soil can also result in bowing and cracking of the walls. The water from the surrounding soil finds its way through the wall as a result.
If you’re experiencing basement leaking in Bloomington, contact a professional contractor as soon as possible. This may be a sign of a serious structural problem that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. A professional contractor will examine the wall to determine the actual cause of the leaking and the cracks that formed.
There are no quick fixes for leaking basement walls. Don’t attempt to fix them by using crack filler. This is only a temporary solution. Ensure that the root cause of the problem is identified and a solution found.
