What to look for

• Window Leaks

Water will find its way into your basement in any way it can. Even if you seal off your concrete walls and install a perimeter drain, leaks can still occur in a variety of ways. One of the most common ways that water floods a basement is through your basement windows.

Basement windows are most often made out of steel or wood. As these materials age, they will begin to rust, corrode, and decay. The windows begin to hang loosely in their frame, and the frame begins to hang loosely in its opening in your basement wall.

• Floor Cracks

One of the more perplexing issues that homeowners face when it comes to basement water problems is how to stop water from rising up through their basement floor.

Fortunately, basement floor cracks can be easily and effectively repaired as part of a proper perimeter drainage system. If you’d like a free quote for repairing basement floor cracks, contact us by phone or e-mail today!

• Stairways

When you waterproof your basement, you’ll want to be able to count on it to be dry — and to stay dry from that point on. If your basement is flooding from the stairs and hatchway entryway, then the job is not done.

• Wall Cracks & Pipe Penetration

Small cracks in foundation walls are common in homes throughout the Tennessee area. Usually a side effect of the natural curing process of concrete, these cracks usually do not threaten the foundation.

However, even small cracks in a foundation can be a major problem if they leak groundwater into your basement or crawl space. If you’d like a free foundation crack repair quote, contact us today!
