Basic Causes of Leaks
- Poor original workmanship
- The house may have settled, causing cracks in either the floor or walls
- Water pressure from the outside may have built up and be forcing water through the walls
Typically, wet basements and leaks are easy to detect. Moisture often begins to seep through at the area where the floor and walls joins or along cracks that may appear in the wall or floor. If you've noticed these leaks, call Paramount Waterproofing for a quick and efficient fix.
