Seepage is Destructive
Once inside, as countless area homeowners have discovered, this acidic silty water can ruin your basements
contents. Your carpets, floor tile, sheet rock, paneling, woodwork and furniture all succumb to the
biodegrading effect of the water. Even electric outlets and power boxes can be hazardous as water can
have pH value of 4.1 and lower. This high acidity is one of the leading causes of structural deterioration and
the collapse of foundation walls.
What can Happen if I Ignore the Problem?
The inevitable effect of constant water penetration is the loss of foundation strength. Mortar joints cracks,
wall buckling footing washout and the harmful effect of acidity can only deteriorate your basement’s
condition. Once weakened, foundations can cost many thousands of dollars to repair.
Should I be Concerned?
Destruction resulting from mold, mildew, insects and termites is superficial compared to the potential
structural liabilities if your foundation is left untreated. Dampness and actual seepage are problems
which can never fix themselves and will only become worse if left uncorrected. Mold growth can begin
within 24-48 hours of a water event and can cause serious health issues.

As anyone can see from the illustration,
rainwater has “a thousand hands.”
During a rainstorm or heavy snowmelt,
each one is pushing to gain access to
the inside of your basement.
Unfortunately, the tar coating applied
to the exterior walls during the original
construction biodegrades. Within three
to five years the coating offers little or
no protection against the water’s
onslaught.
