Poured concrete walls are created by pouring concrete into a pre-built mold or formwork that is the shape of the desired wall. Once the concrete hardens, it forms a solid, uniform wall that is highly resistant to water and has greater structural integrity compared to block walls. Poured walls are known for their durability and strength, providing a seamless finish without joints, except at the corners of the foundation. This method is often used for its robustness and the superior protection it offers against leaks.
Block walls are made from precast concrete blocks that are stacked and bound together with mortar. These blocks are hollow, which makes them lighter and more cost-effective than solid concrete. However, the cavities within can accumulate water if not properly sealed, which can lead to leaks or moisture issues. Block walls are often used i
Block walls are made from precast concrete blocks that are stacked and bound together with mortar. These blocks are hollow, which makes them lighter and more cost-effective than solid concrete. However, the cavities within can accumulate water if not properly sealed, which can lead to leaks or moisture issues. Block walls are often used in residential construction and can be identified by the distinct grid-like pattern created by the mortar lines between the blocks.
Stone walls are the traditional method of basement construction, often found in older homes. They are built by laying natural stones of various sizes, carefully positioned and bonded with mortar. The aesthetic appeal of stone walls is unique, offering a rustic or historic look. However, the irregularities in stone sizes and the natural po
Stone walls are the traditional method of basement construction, often found in older homes. They are built by laying natural stones of various sizes, carefully positioned and bonded with mortar. The aesthetic appeal of stone walls is unique, offering a rustic or historic look. However, the irregularities in stone sizes and the natural porosity of the material can make these walls susceptible to water ingress if not maintained correctly. Stone walls require a significant amount of craftsmanship and labor, which can make them more expensive to build or repair than other types of basement walls

It appears that there may be a crack in your wall which is currently concealed by drywall, making it difficult to assess and repair. To address this, we have two options
Got a pesky wall crack playing peek-a-boo behind your drywall? Whether you’re a DIY dynamo or prefer to leave the detective work to a professional handyman, it's time to pull back the curtain and expose that elusive crack. Whip out your toolbox or phone your local fixer to peel away the drywall and reveal the hidden flaw. Once the wall's secret is out, we'll leap into action, ready to mend the breach with a fix as smooth as your favorite jazz tune. And just like that, we'll have your basement back to being the dry, cozy retreat you love. No more leaks, no more drama – just the sweet sound of... silence
So, you'd prefer not to go on an indoor demolition adventure? No problem! If taking down drywall isn't on your weekend DIY list, let's tackle the issue from the great outdoors. Our exterior waterproofing solution is your 'no mess inside, let's handle it outside' approach. Here’s what we do: we get down and dirty so you don't have to. We’ll excavate the soil around your foundation down to the footings, right where the earth meets your basement wall. From there, we apply a robust waterproof membrane to the exterior blocks, giving water the 'not today' signal. We also install a tried-and-true drainage system to guide any moisture away from your fortress. It's like giving your home a shield and a sword to ward off the wetness. This option is a bit more like backyard surgery for your house, but it's a surefire way to fix the problem at the source without disturbing your indoor oasis. Put on your sunglasses, because the future (and your basement) is about to look a whole lot drier!
It sounds like you've identified that you have a block wall with water ingress issues. Indeed, block walls can be a bit more challenging to diagnose and repair due to their hollow structure. Water can travel within the cavities and emerge at points distant from where it initially entered. Here are your options for addressing the problem
If you're noticing water trickling into your basement through the block walls, we've got a tailored solution that keeps your feet dry without having to play in the dirt. We recommend installing an interior water management system, designed to intercept and reroute any unwanted water guests. For this operation, you'll need to clear a path for our system to work its magic. This means removing a section of drywall approximately 6 feet in length and above the height of the exterior ground level. You or a trusty handyman can roll up your sleeves to expose the area where the wall is playing host to moisture. Once the space is prepped, our team will swoop in and set up a discreet yet effective drainage system that gives water the detour sign, keeping your basement bone-dry. This inside job is sleek, non-invasive on the outside, and won't have you or your garden seeing a single speck of dirt out of place

If you suspect a hidden flaw within your stone foundation, the first course of action is an internal reveal. This requires the careful removal of the drywall to expose the underlying issue. You can either undertake this task personally, if you're handy, or enlist a professional to ensure precision. Once the wall is laid bare and the problem identified, we can apply a targeted fix. This is the less intrusive method, preserving your home's exterior aesthetics while addressing the foundational concern
