Foundation Crack Leaking Water?
A visible foundation crack can provide an obvious path for moisture, but the correct response depends on the crack, surrounding foundation conditions, water exposure and access. Ground Guard Solutions evaluates the conditions before recommending waterproofing or localized repair work.
What to document
Useful signs to look for before an evaluation.
Photos, short video and information about when the water appears can help Ground Guard understand the situation before determining whether an inspection is appropriate.
- Water visible along a foundation crack
- Moisture that increases during rainfall
- Staining around the crack
- Recurring dampness in one foundation area
- Water reaching the basement floor
- Previous repairs showing renewed moisture
Evaluation
The visible water does not always identify the source.
Ground Guard does not diagnose a waterproofing problem from one symptom alone. The appropriate next step depends on the property, foundation conditions, drainage, access and where the water is actually entering.
- Crack location and visible condition
- Whether the crack leaks during rainfall
- Interior and exterior access
- Surrounding drainage conditions
- Previous repairs
- Whether waterproofing protection is also required
