Several factors can cause foundation problems. Concrete quality, lack or poor water drainage, foundation cracks and soil type are just a few examples. Here is a complete guide to the most common problems encountered.
Water infiltration and humidity in the basement can be caused by a multitude of factors. Very often, this type of problem is encountered when there is no or defective French drain or when there are foundation cracks. However, several other elements may also be involved, including:
In addition to the accumulation of water on the ground, which is obvious in itself, several other elements can help detect water infiltration:
The solution to such a problem is to waterproof your home’s foundation. Indeed, the foundation must be waterproof in order to avoid any future infiltration. However, when infiltration results from a French drain or crack problem, these must be repaired first.
A clogged or crushed drain will have to be cleaned or replaced, whereas in the case of a crack, it will be injected. Once the repairs are completed, the foundation can be waterproofed with a membrane. Note: When building a house, the tar layer on the foundation is only used as a base waterproofing agent. This is a minimum requirement to be met and not a treatment against infiltration.
Whether it is an old or a new house, drainage methods are often neglected. The French drain may then be defective or non-existent, causing moisture and water infiltration problems in the basement.
In addition to water infiltration and high humidity, the following symptoms may also indicate a French drain problem:

The foundation’s deterioration then results in cracking of the concrete, causing water seepage problems.
