A small leak will sink a great ship …

Most concrete foundation cracks are strictly leaking problems, especially during heavy rains and snow melt. Not only can excess water in the basement potentially damage and ruin valuable items, but chances for mold and mildew growth are significantly higher, which directly impacts a home’s indoor air quality.

Basement wall cracks also have the ability to widen. While a particular crack may not necessarily be a problem at the time that can change as soon as the next heavy rain storm arrives. After a foundation crack forms, the prospect of water seepage (whether slight or major) is not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

If water leakage from a foundation crack is minimal now, the potential exist for the crack to widen, allowing further seepage into the basement.
