Floor Cracks
Basement Floor Cracks Allow Water To Enter
Cracks in your basement floor can be more than just a cosmetic issue; they can be a gateway for water to flood into your home. This not only damages the structure but also creates an uncomfortable and potentially hazardous living environment.
- Water Intrusion: When water seeps through these floor cracks, it can lead to persistent dampness and even flooding. This can compromise the integrity of your home's foundation over time, leading to costly repairs.
- Health Risks: Ignoring these problems can result in serious health risks. The moisture can give rise to mold and mildew, which are not only unsightly but can also trigger respiratory issues and other health concerns for your family.
- Homeowner Frustration: We understand how distressing it can be to deal with a wet basement. It can feel like a constant battle against water and dampness, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and helpless.
Our Three-Step Repair Solution
Leaky floor cracks in your basement can lead to significant water damage if not addressed properly. At APS, we have developed a comprehensive three-step process to tackle this issue efficiently, ensuring your basement stays dry and secure.
Step 1: Install a Perimeter Drainage System
Our first step involves installing a perimeter drainage system
This solution intercepts water before it can reach the floor crack, providing a proactive method to keep your basement dry. By capturing water at its source, this system prevents it from causing any further damage to your home.
Step 2: Add a Drainage Channel
In cases where direct drainage is necessary, we create a drainage channel. We remove a section of the basement floor and run a line of PVC pipe underneath, leading directly to your sump pump. This channel ensures that any water entering the drain is naturally directed to the sump pump, effectively eliminating any risk of flooding through floor cracks.
Step 3: Restore the Floor
After installing the drainage system, we backfill the area with stone and cover it with fresh concrete. This final step not only restores the appearance of your basement floor but also ensures its durability. Allow three days for the concrete to cure properly before walking on it or reapplying weight to the surface.
