Gravity - The Blame And The Cure For Your Wet Basement!
Water will always obey the commands that gravity gives.
Gravity can cause water to drain towards your home where it can pool up against the foundation wall. Water hears a second command from gravity, find a way downward! The water travels effortlessly, descending between cracks and gaps in the paved areas such as sidewalks, patios, and filtering through loose soils where it finds its way into cracks and holes in the block foundation wall.Once the water is in the hollow center of the blocks it can travel quickly downward and does not stop until it hits the footing, base the block sit on. At this point the water will start to leak at the seam where the wall meets the floor or even start to wick it's way through the block walls, often leaving hard water deposits after things dry out.AAA Reick's Landscape And Waterproofing has been working WITH gravity to keep basements dry for over 25 years. We are experienced in stopping water intrusion by working from outside your home, keeping run-off water away from your foundation wall. We take into consideration the way soil is graded in and around landscape beds and if there is a need for new sidewalks, patios, and other paved areas. We can handle that as well.
