Basement leaks happen too often. If you are a homeowner and haven’t had to deal with a leaking basement, you should consider yourself lucky. Even in the best built homes, cracks in basement and foundation walls will eventually form.

There is moisture in the soil outside your basement walls. Some homes are built over very damp soil or on flood plains and they are almost bound to have a basement leakage problem – so much so that they might need a sump pump to constantly remove water from their basement.

Even if your home is built on relatively dry soil, there will be times, during heavy rains or spring thaw, when there will be increased water in the ground, and increased chance of leaks through your basement walls.

As soon as water leaks into your basement, you have a problem. Water can seriously damage your basement walls, foundation and your belongings. Water also attracts mold and mildew which can cause breathing problems and create an unhealthy atmosphere for your family.

What can you do to prevent damaging leaks in your basement? It’s more than just patching a hole – you need to waterproof your basement.
