There’s nothing like damp and leaks to spoil a basement. There can be many ways in which water can enter your foundations and home, and many reasons why this can occur. One possible point of entry is through mortar joints.
This can occur if your property’s foundations are built using cinder block, brick, or stone rather than concrete. Water can find its way in through the mortar, and eventually seep into your basement.
No matter what the problem, Direct Waterproofing can provide a highly effective solution that will make sure your home stays dry. In the case of leaking mortar joints, there are several solutions that we might implement. You can arrange a consultation with us so that we can diagnose and confirm the problem, and discuss possible solutions with you fully.
Solution options could involve interior waterproofing, such as delta membrane walls to channel the water into a drainage. We can install weeping tiles that will safely and discreetly carry water away from your property.
Exterior waterproofing is also an option. We can fully waterproof your exterior walls with a membrane that will ensure water never even touches your actual foundations. This is a highly effective solution, especially when combined with exterior drainage to stop water from pooling against your home.
