A wet basement floor can be a real problem

No matter what type of foundation wall you have there are many potential ways to get a wet basement floor. Rescon Basement Solutions specializes in solving the water problem in the basement and eliminating that wet basement floor. Let’s review some of the more common elements that may create a water problem in the basement.

Hydrostatic Pressure – The build-up of water in and around the basement walls and floor This causes pressure and water is pushed into cracks and seams throughout the foundation. Resulting in a wet basement floor. This type of problem can be solved with a sump pump or a basement drainage system.

Foundation Cracks – Poured concrete has improved the quality of basements over the past 60 years. However, poured concrete does have a tendency to crack. These cracks are perfect avenues for water, soil gases, insects, etc... Since these issues can create a real problem in the basement it is a good idea to have the cracks professionally sealed. Our foundation crack repair process will prevent you from ever having a wet basement floor or one of the other problems caused by foundation cracks.

Windows/Window Wells

Basement windows, especially those below grade come with the high probability that water could fill the exterior wells and cause water infiltration through the windows. This type of issue can be addressed with a new window well or exterior drainage. It is best to have one of our staff come out and perform a basement evaluation to determine the best course of action.

Garage and Entry Doors

When the situation exists that the exterior grade or pitch of a driveway is towards a walk-out door or garage door water seepage could enter under the doorway. Rescon Basement Solutions has seen and dealt with virtually all water seepage situations and can provide a permanent solution to end all water seepage permanently.
