Waterproofing is needed anytime a structure is built at ground level or below ground. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially needed in cases where ground water is likely to build up in the soil and raise the water table. This higher water table causes hydro static pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and against basement walls. Hydro static pressure forces water in through cracks in foundation walls, through openings caused by expansion and contraction of the footing-foundation wall joint and up through floor cracks. Hydro static pressure can cause major structural damage to foundation walls and is likely to contribute to mold, decay and other moisture related problems. Do not let bad drainage or leaks lead to an unnecessary expense and cause damage to your health and home.
