Problem: Floor Crack Seepage

Floor cracks are caused by hydrostatic pressure from underneath your home. This is primarily a foundation settlement problem as well as a waterproofing problem – where having a proper water mitigation system can help prevent the issue entirely, while the initial damage of any concrete my need to be repaired first depending on the severity of the cracks and settling. Cracks on your basement floor are an early warning sign for shifts in the foundation slab and rising & falling water tables that are not being properly drained. This comes from weak soil conditions during rainy or snow-thawing seasons.

Many homeowners will not realize that this is an issue that requires immediate attention. The longer you wait, the higher the chances are that you will experience additional structural problems or water damage.
