Causes of a Wall & Floor Leak in the Basement
The foundation process of basement construction and the materials used in it play a great role in water leaking from basement walls and floor. To understand the reasons behind the leaks you need to understand the characteristics of your basement’s foundation.
Cove joint is the joint between the floor and the walls of a basement. As hydrostatic pressure (water pressure) increases, water tends to leak into your basement through cove joint since water frequently accumulates under the floor and the foundation wall.
The gap between concrete blocks or bricks filled with mortar in a basement is called the mortar joint. Mortar is a porous material. So, water can easily leak through. When cracks occur in foundation walls due to lateral pressure (pressure of soil from sideway) or the foundation settling, water seeps through it and enters the basement.
When Hydrostatic Pressure Increases below the concrete floor it causes a crack, resulting in floor leak.
