We have a few spots in our basement that we get some seepage during heavy rains. Have an outfit coming to give us an estimate tomorrow but anything to listen for ask or anybody have it done for an idea on cost?
Probably gonna have to dig on the outside and apply tar or whatever waterproofing material they use.
There is product that can be applied to the inside of CMU walls that makes if impervious to water/radon/etc...
It's basically a liquid rubber that permeates into the CMU and then dries. Once dry, no mositure comes through. I'd like to use it on my basement. Thinking about it for the future.
How old is the house...can you upload some pics to assess?
Definitely get another opinion (I go w/three minimum) and make sure your downspouts are connected to shed water away from foundation. Good luck...hope it's not a $pendy fix.
post pictures, I dug up and re-waterproofed a basement where the leak was caused by a piece of stepflashing that the sider buried under the siding. Needless to say, the dig up and re waterproof DID NOT solve the problem! LOL
