Wall Damage
Years of water leaks damaged the basement walls. The homeowner had tried covering up the cracks, but the cracks only grew deeper and more comprehensive.
How did water get in?
Water would leak in where the floor meets the wall. Overtime continuous water leaks can weaken the walls causing them to shift, settle, crack, and bow.
Patched Cracks
Leaks would also enter through the basement window because the window wasn't sealed. To repair the crack created, the homeowner patched the crack. Unfortunately, patching a crack is only a temporary repair. To regain structure and stability in the wall, this homeowner gave Woods Basement Systems a call.
New Sump Needed
Waterproofing this basement would help prevent water leaks from harming the walls. Team Woods recommends installing a TripleSafe sump pump to collect all pesky water leaks and send them out of the home.
