for
basement waterproofing.
Tie Rod Holes
When the concrete foundation was built with your home, it is a strong possibility that the contractors used reinforced tie rods. The purpose of these rods is to hold the form together while your basement walls are being poured. Once the forms are removed, the rods remain in the wall and the ends are knocked off so they do not protrude. Then, a waterproofing sealant is applied in hopes of keeping water out, but over time it can break down and allow water to seep through. Since these holes are positioned in the center of your walls, it can be easy to determine if one is the source of an issue. Because the sealant breaks down over time, basement waterproofing maintenance is essential.
Basement Floor and Wall Cracks
Not all cracks in your floor or wall are detrimental and will not threaten the structure of your home or its ability to keep out water. However, keeping an eye on the cracks growth and size can save you money and time in the long run. Though the Buffalo, NY area is not situated in a place that sees much changes, shifting of the land around your home can cause cracks to grow rapidly, which could lead to leakage. If you are concerned about any cracks in your basement, our basement waterproofing and foundation repair experts can repair them for you!
Beam Pockets
Beam pockets are where your support beams in your basement meet your foundation walls. This is a place where water has a tendency to seep through because the materials are so diverse and it is an unnatural type pairing.
