WATERPROOFING BASEMENTS WITH POLYUREA COATINGS
Cracks in concrete are an easy way for water to get into the basement. Well, when that small crack becomes something bigger and your basement is letting in more than just a little water each time it rains, then it's time to take action. First, we will discuss the differing types of basement walls and then we will go through a step by step explanation of how you can fix these problems with the help of polyurea. Concrete block walls These will leak just like poured concrete walls. Leakage can also occur at mortar joints between concrete blocks. The mortar joints can be weakened if pressure is applied to a concrete block foundation. This can cause cracks that permit water seepage. Concrete blocks' hollow cores can also be filled with water, which in turn will cause the foundation leakage after the soil has dried. Clay tile walls These walls can be found in historic homes. The most likely place for a leak to occur is at the floor/wall junction. Seepage is also common at mortar jo...
