To avoid leaks and problems, you need to properly waterproof the basement wall panels. Before you cover the basement walls with water-resistant materials such as waterproof paint and tar, you must remove excess water.
You can contact a leaky basement wall repair service provider and here are some tips for getting rid of water leaks in the basement :
1. First and foremost, you need to understand where the leak is coming from. To find out if the water in your wall panels is coming from the outside or inside the basement, cover the normally damp part of the wall with a sheet of aluminum foil (approx. 12 "x 12"). Leave the slides there for a day or two.
2. An open well in the basement window allows water to enter the window during heavy rain. You can protect the windows with metal wells with gravel windows on the floor for good drainage.
3. Leaks can also increase humidity in the basement. Therefore, if a leak occurs, you must immediately repair the piping. When you're done repairing, you can ventilate the basement by opening all the windows and using a fan, or by using a dehumidifier to remove moisture.
4. Damaged gutters or gutters can cause roof water to collect around the basement walls and penetrate the pores and cracks in the masonry. Repair damaged gutters or replace them with new ones. Protect the drain pipe from dirt from becoming clogged.
