WaterWalls

Leaking floor/wall joint: In this scenario, the water entry into the basement originates at the joint where the floor meets the wall. The solution here is to remove the concrete by the floor/wall joint (on the floor) and install a low pressure system. Specialty contractors totally experienced in this type of work must be employed to complete this type of project. The goal is to alleviate the water pressure and have the water which threatens the floor run laterally into a drop-off point (either a basement sump pump or a drain running to air).
