The Importance of Leaky Basement Repair
Your basement, because of its below-grade position, is vulnerable to water seepage. Statistics show that 90% of basements will eventually leak for various reasons, such as foundation cracks, tie rod holes, blocked weeping tiles, and drain back ups. Water seepage will cause substantial damage to your house if not promptly addressed.
This extra moisture encourages the growth of mold and fungus, which can cause serious health concerns. Additionally, the structure of the entire house may be at risk. This is why proper waterproofing of the basement is essential – the sooner the better.
How Common are Leaky Basements in Toronto?
Did you know that basement leaks are the leading, major complaint from new homeowners? According to Tarion Ontario New Home Warranty Program, if you signed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a new home and gave your builder a deposit, Tarion’s two year warranty program protects against water penetration through the basement or foundation walls.
Nowadays, foundation waterproofing in new houses is done during construction. However, tar is still used as a foundation sealant, and this not optimal. Tar rates as ‘damp proofing’, not ‘waterproofing’, and will eventually give way to the water outside your foundation walls.
High-quality basement waterproofing plays a crucial role in protecting your property. As soon as you notice signs of basement water leaks, contact the professionals at Aquamaster for dependable solutions.
How to Identify Basement Leaks
Water Stains on Basement Walls and Floors
: These are often the most visible signs of a leak. Look for discoloration or damp spots on concrete surfaces, which may indicate water seeping through.Musty Odours
: A persistent musty smell is a strong indicator of mold or mildew, which is often due to excessive moisture in your basement. This can pose health risks and should be addressed right away.Peeling Paint or Wallpaper
: If you notice paint or wallpaper starting to peel, bubble, or flake, it’s likely that moisture is building up behind your walls. A fresh coat will do nothing to fix the root of this problem.White Powder on Basment Walls
: This white, powdery substance is called efflorescence, and is caused by water evaporating and leaving minerals behind.Rust in Your Basement
: Check for rust on metal fixtures or appliances in your basement. Rust formation is a sign that there is enough moisture in the air to cause metal to corrode, often due to a leak somewhere.Cracks in the Floor or Walls
: Water will follow any path it is given, and a crack of any size is a potential entry point. Monitor basement wall cracks regularly, as they can indicate both water issues and potential structural problems.Pooling Water
: Obvious signs of pooling water on your basement floor after rainfalls or during the spring thaw are immediate red flags that your basement waterproofing needs attention.
