Basement Leak Repair

A leaking crack, joint or wall gets traced to its source and repaired, so the next storm is only weather.

A basement leak can be a thin trickle in one crack or a dark line along the whole floor joint after a storm. Either way, it is water that has found a path and will find it again. Leaks that are ignored feed mold, ruin stored items, damage finishes and slowly wear the foundation itself. Early repair costs far less than waiting.

We trace the leak instead of guessing. We note where and when it appears, follow the wall and floor with a moisture meter and look outside for the matching cause: a downspout pouring onto the wall, soil sloping toward the house or a window well filling with water. Cracks are sealed by injection. Joints between wall and floor get a drain that gives water a path. We also tell you what to watch so you know the repair is working.

Cracks and tie holes

Wall cracks and old form-tie holes leak after rain. Injection seals them through the full thickness of the wall.

Floor-wall joint

This is the most common entry for water in block walls. An interior drain lets the water escape safely instead of rising onto the floor.

Pipe penetrations

Water and sewer lines and electrical entries can leak at the wall. They are sealed with materials that stay flexible.

Outside causes

We look at the roof water and grading, because stopping water at the source protects the repair.

Questions

Basement Leak Repair FAQ

Why does my basement leak when it rains?

Water pressure builds in the soil and pushes through cracks, joints and block pores.

Can a leaking crack be fixed from inside?

Yes. Injection seals the crack through the wall without digging.

What about leaks at the floor edge?

A drain along the footing collects that water and sends it to a sump.

Will the leak return?

If the outside cause is fixed and the repair is sound, it should stay dry. We explain what to watch.

Is a small leak worth fixing?

Yes. Small leaks grow and feed mold and damage.
