Common Questions About Basement Leaks
Why does my basement leak?
Leaky foundations cause all kinds of damage to basement walls, whether you live in an older home or a newer one. If your basement is leaking, you need to have it repaired ASAP. And if it isn’t, you really should have that extra layer of protection.
When a basement is excavated, the soil that is backfilled around the new foundation will be much looser than the surrounding ground. Unfortunately, this means loose earth will collect water much faster than undisturbed soil. After the foundation walls are poured and the ground is filled in, the soil that surrounds the foundation will collect water and hold moisture up against the new foundation walls. The water will accumulate over time and eventually enter the foundation walls.
Water can get into your home through holes and cracks of any size. You may not even realize the cracks exist because they’re so small!
Beyond Waterproofing and Foundation Repair will find any source of water getting into your home. By repairing the cracks in your foundation and suggesting proper outdoor drainage services, we can keep water out of your basement for good!
How can I stop my basement from leaking?
The only way to relieve this pressure is through the installation of protective layers on the walls through a system of weeping tiles and sump pumps. This will redirect any accumulation of water away from your foundation, allowing the surrounding soil to dry and settle.
With the right waterproofing methods, your basement will stay dry. This includes a series of foundation protective coatings and sealers which will keep water from penetrating the foundation’s walls. Weeping tiles will carry water away from your foundation and protect your basement from flooding due to extreme weather. A membrane we install will protect the wall from damage and keep your waterproofing system intact.
Why is it important to stop leaks?
Moisture can cause a variety of damage to concrete, timber, brick and block structures, which can mean thousands of dollars in repairs.
Maintaining a dry basement is more important than you may realize. Mold spores can grow in the dampness and then travel throughout the home, leading to respiratory and other health issues.

Keep an Eye Out for Foundation Problems
If you notice cracks or discolored spots in your home's foundation, call on the professional repair technicians at Beyond Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. A well-maintained foundation is crucial to the health of your entire home so you want to look out for problems that can grow and become something more troublesome. There are certain things to look out for on both the inside and outside of your foundation and basement. If you notice any of the following issues below, reach out to our licensed contractors to take a closer look.
Cracks on the outside of the foundation.
External cracks can cause leaks, which will only get worse over time.
Moisture or mildew problems
A moldy smell in the basement or visible signs of mold and fungus can be indications that the waterproof membrane barriers covering the inside and outside of the foundation have been breached. This problem will only get worse if the materials are not replaced.
Any crumbling spots on the foundation walls
Crumbling concrete is no longer strong enough to withstand hydrostatic pressure from the outside and concrete that has been weakened creates a safety threat to the entire structure of your home.
Interior sheetrock and drywall cracks
These cracks may have started on the outside and worked their way in. They can also indicate a weakening of the concrete due to expansion and contraction from extreme temperatures or shifting of the backfill. Once moisture gets past the foundation walls, it spreads inside and causes cracks and leaks.
Water stains by the baseboards or by the ceiling
This type of leak may indicate a space in the foundation between the basement footings and the foundation wall or the foundation wall and the basement wall. Any of these scenarios allow moisture to collect on the inside of the foundation.
Changes in the level of the basement floor
Any areas that dip where they didn’t before or floors that now slope can be symptomatic of a bigger problem with the concrete slab under the floor. Any issue with the slab will affect all connected walls and footings surrounding it.
Push piers
Foundation piers are critical structural components installed deep in the ground to access steady soil or rock layers, thus offering the support your foundation needs. These piers serve as stable pillars, transferring the weight of the home down to more stable soil, averting future settling and, in some cases, offering the chance to elevate the house back to its original stance. Engaging in a detailed strategy for holistic solutions is instrumental in upholding your home’s structural health.
