Professional Basement Leak Repairs in Toronto
Many people are usually puzzled when they get
basement leaks as they imagine that a good
foundation will shield them from such an incident.
However, this is not necessarily true. This
article will show some causes of basement leaks,
the damage they can cause to your house, and how
you can rectify the issue.
Basement leaks are terrible and a serious cause
of concern to any house owner. It is vital to
speedily address those leaks as they could lead
to further problems for you. They not only
depreciate the value of your home in the market,
but they could also cause structural damage that
could ruin your house.

Damages Caused by Basement Leaks

structures and can destroy them if you don't

damages caused by basement leaks include
Rusting
Mold and Mildew
Rotting and Wet Wood

Wall Cracks
Vertical or Diagonal Wall Cracks
Horizontal Cracks

Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew strive in moist environments and
usually indicate water accumulation in a spot.
The damage they cause, however, is often
secondary. Rusting Rusting has many implications
for the homeowner. Rusty metals cannot fulfill
their original purpose because theyre weaker
this can lead to structural damage.

Wood is especially susceptible to decay under
prolonged exposure to moisture. Its fiber
saturation point limit is 30, and anything
beyond this will cause wood decay spores to
surface on the wood.

Wall Cracks

• Wall Cracks are perhaps the scariest damage you
  can suffer from basement leakages. Theyre a
  definite sign that your house foundation is
  damaged. Foundation damage is a cause for concern
  as it leads to the houses collapse if not
  addressed.
• Horizontal Cracks
• These cracks are the worst form of wall cracks
  you can find. They are usually worse than
  vertical cracks and are much harder to fix than
  the former. Soil pressure and poor drainage are
  the major causes of horizontal cracks.
