What is causing moisture in the basement area?
When you want to understand the value of internal waterproofing; it’s very important to know what is exactly causing moisture. Because of the sole construction and nature of the basements; the particular space is generally prone to moisture.
These are some of the primary causes for basement moisture:
Clogged weeping tile
Weeping tile may become blocked by soil or tree roots. And when this happens; it can’t drain water away from your home as much as necessary. This moisture is pressing against the foundation of your home from the outside. And eventually at the end this will result in leak.

Improper drainage and soil systems
When the rainwater and groundwater are not capable to drain properly; they can make their way into the basement area of your house. Poor drainage systems and also weak soil in the region of your home’s foundation; are one of the most general causes of moisture in the basement. And, when the water flow is not redirected away from home; it will then collect around the foundation. Through which it will flow into the basement’s absorbent floor and walls.
Poor insulation and condensation
Basements are well known to be infamously wet places. So, in case condensation occurs in your basement; it will lead to the creation of mildew and mold. And cause possible damage to any kind of surface; especially wood and drywall. Sooner you contact our Toronto based internal waterproofing technicians; you will keep away more damage at your property.
Cracks in the basement floor
Cracks tend to provide the ideal way through which the water can flow into the basement area from outside. And, the water is always finding the most open paths through areas of slightest resistance. So, the cracks in the basement serve up to be the most likely path for the water to get inside.
High water level or hydro-static pressure
A high water level is a point that represents the highest increase of a body of water over land.
Hydro-static pressure occurs when the water accumulates around the foundation of your house. The gravity is tending to push down the water; which will try to escape by pressure release. By itself, the water forces its own way into cracks on basement walls and floor; or the area where the wall and the floor summit. Actually, due to the increase of intense pressure; cracks will form all along the foundation walls and the floor of the basement.
Some leaks inside basement can cause health and safety risks. The water comes into contact with the electrical wiring or creates a mold problem. Mold thrives in wet basements. Especially in finished basements where it may grow on and behind damp drywall; carpeting and paneling.
Most common health problems that are caused by mold exposure are; fatigue, headaches, runny nose, eye irritation, cough, sneezing, congestion; worsening asthma and upper respiratory infections.
