Every basement is different. Your foundation may be fieldstone, concrete block or cement. Whatever the case, at some point it will be penetrated by water or moisture and the end result is always the same - a damp, wet, or flooded basement. Water intrusion can occur anywhere at any time in a basement it is just a matter of when. Unusual seasonal freezes and thaws, earthquakes and settling of the foundation are of the primary causes of water infiltration and typically cannot be predicted. We provide best-in-class basement waterproofing solutions.
When ground water saturation occurs in the freeze thaw periods of winter, the ground expands, creating tremendous pressure on below ground portions of the foundation walls. This stress eventually fractures the wall. According to the Home Inspection Census more than 50% of all basement foundation walls have a good chance of cracking or bowing in the winters to come! When looking at foundation walls if they appear in any way similar to the images above, you have visual confirmation that your concrete block / cinder block walls have water trapped inside the blocks.
