Several issues can cause basement leaks from the outside. Our team at Force Basement Solutions has the expertise you need to help identify the source of a leak and provide you with a complete basement dewatering system. Look below to see if you recognize any of the most common signs of basement leaks.
Basement Drains
Basement drains are more common in older homes and act as a rudimentary water control system. The drains tend to clog and break below-grade, providing entry for outside water to seep into homes.
Window Well Leaks
Below-grade windows form a pocket where water can sit. Over time, water can break down the seals and eventually leak into your basement. Properly installed basement windows or egress windows should not leak.
Masonry Foundation Walls
Walls made of cinder blocks or stone have joints that are made from mortar. Over time this mortar can erode, causing water leaks inside of your basement.
Cove Joint Seepage
The cove joint is where your foundation walls meet your floor. This area is one of the most common areas for basement leaks and water seepage.
Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions
At Force Basement Solutions, our team installs various basement waterproofing systems to help mitigate water intrusion in your basement. We use trusted SafeBasements™ systems to capture and remove water that enters your home. These products include collection systems that work at the cove joints and basement edges to restrict water, urethane injection products to seal smaller holes and cracks in the walls, and high-quality sump pumps to remove the water from your home once it is collected.
Interior Drain Tiles
Drain tiles are a basement waterproofing system designed to collect the water entering your home and direct it away from the interior of your home. The Safe Edge, Drain, and Track systems are manufactured in the United States to combat the different basement water leaks that most houses experience. These products are effective in the worst situations and keep your home dry no matter the weather conditions. These systems are often coupled with a sump pump system to effectively remove all the water that would be entering your basement. If you live in an area that experiences regular heavy rain, our technicians may recommend installing a drain tile system and a sump pump to keep your home safe and dry.
Exterior Waterproofing Sealant
Exterior waterproofing sealants are one way to waterproof the basement from the exterior of your home. Our team at Force Basements uses exterior solutions when traditional basement waterproofing systems are not necessary for the problem, but less invasive interior solutions are not effective.
These sealants are designed to be applied to the outside of the foundation of your home or business and require the excavation of the dirt around the foundation. By applying high-quality exterior waterproofing sealants, our team can effectively safeguard your basement from the harmful effects of water damage, such as mold, mildew, and structural deterioration. As a result, you can enjoy a dry, healthy living space and potentially save thousands of dollars in costly repairs.
Sump Pump & Backup Sump Pump Installation
Sump pump systems collect water from drain tile systems and forcibly remove it from your home. These systems work in the toughest conditions and can be installed with a battery backup to protect your home even if the power goes out. A sump pump is necessary to pump the water away from your home; it is an essential part of the basement waterproofing system.
If you are experiencing a wet basement, then having a sump pump system installed may be the perfect choice for your home. Our team at Force Waterproofing installs sump pumps in homes across Bloomington and Peoria. This waterproofing system is one of the most efficient ways to keep your basement dry year-round, despite extreme weather conditions. If you have any questions about how sump pumps work or how installing a sump pump system can help your home, call our experts today.
