Leaky Concrete Walls
As your home ages, the foundation can start to become weak and brittle. When this happens, your foundation could begin to crumble which can cause cracks and openings with water leaking inside of them causing the concrete to degrade throughout your foundation. If moisture should seep inside it most likely will run down the wall and create a stain. Sometimes water will create a pool(s) on the floor where the wall meets the floor (also known as the cove joint).
If you should find this problem where you have leaky concrete walls that may be crumbling in sections of concrete to your foundation, please do not hesitate to contact a professional at Denver Foundation Solutions right away so we can schedule an evaluation to fix the issue(s).
Repairing Leaky Concrete Walls
Below you will see three systems we use to fix this problem and will determine what would be the best solution to your water leakage problem. Depending if your situation is minor or extreme will determine which is the system to use. To find out more click on the + below for further details.
This system is designed by SafeBasements and is carefully designed compact system to cover more surface area than other traditional water collection systems being used. By having an increased surface area it allows for more water to be pointed to a basement sump pump in less time.
The Safe Edge™ System features:
- Includes a built-in multi-flow drain tile,
- a sump pump with a clear lid for ensuring it is clean,
- battery backup system (available for installation)
- a rubber seal that takes water away from the cove joint into the drain tile
This drain system has a low profile that has a wider design that allows for a adequate floor thickness to be poured over it once the installation is completed. Because of the wider design it allows for the water better thus reducing the overall hydrostatic pressure.
The SafeBasements water evacuation system is designed to be installed without having to excavate the soil around your home or basement floor. This saves a lot of time and money. At Denver Foundation Solutions we install the SafeTrack system in homes with monolithic floors. It is easy for us to set up so there is no longer damage being caused to the foundation of your home during the installation.
