Basement Waterproofing in Wake Forest, NC

Review Logo 4.3 (36)

In Wake Forest, homes with below-ground basements often face challenges with water intrusion and humidity. The area experiences over 45 inches of annual rainfall, combined with the local sandy loam and clay loam soils that struggle to manage excess water. This can lead to issues such as mold growth, efflorescence, and musty odors. To ensure your basement remains dry and protected, Tar Heel Basement Systems provides expert solutions including interior drainage systems that direct water to a sump pump, as well as wall vapor barriers and energy-efficient dehumidifiers to combat moisture and improve air quality.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Wake Forest

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
