Home G Group Inc Basement Solutions and Repairs
Much of our work at Home G Group Inc in the basement waterproofing field involves repairing basement leaking foundation wall cracks. One of the most frequently used solutions is sealing Foundation Wall Cracks in poured concrete foundations. In an unfinished basement, foundation cracks are easily noticeable, and any leaking basement cracks can result in water stains appearing on the foundation walls or floor. In a finished basement, the diagnosis begins by identifying the area where water enters the basement and then searching for foundation cracks on the exterior. Vertical foundation cracks typically extend to the top of the foundation wall, which is usually exposed above the soil line. If you notice any leaking foundation cracks, they can be sealed either from the interior using our Epoxy injection process or from the exterior using our Bentoseal process method (Exterior Foundation Crack Repair).
Foundation Waterproofing and Basement Solutions
Another primary issue with basement waterproofing in the Chicago area is water seeping and leaking through cracks in the basement floor and where the foundation wall and floor meet. The rising water table due to saturated ground causes water to seep underneath the foundation and into the basement. The most effective solution Home G Group Inc recommends for this type of problem is Installing a Drain Tile System adjacent to the footing under your basement floor. This system should come equipped with a Sump Pump that can discharge the water outside onto your yard or into your sewer, depending on the regulations in your city.
Sometimes, seepage and water leaks into the basement can come from over the top of the foundation wall through the mortar joint between the bricks or the wood framing that sits atop the foundation wall. This situation arises when the exterior ground level is higher than the top of the concrete foundation wall or at the same level as the end of the foundation wall. This issue occurs during periods of heavy rainfall when the ground cannot absorb excess water quickly enough. Home G Group Inc recommends applying an exterior waterproofing membrane a few inches above the soil line and overlapping the foundation wall on the below-grade portion of the wall. Waterproofing membranes effectively prevent water seepage and leaks in brick and stone foundations.
