Water damage in the basement is something no homeowner wants to deal with. Often times, it’s hard for homeowners to determine exactly what is causing the water damage. One of the most common ways that water can enter your basement is through cracks in the basement floor.

How to Waterproof A Leaky Floor Crack
To prevent water intrusion through floor cracks, we often suggest installing a lateral line drainage system. This system captures any water that enters your basement and properly channels it to your sump pump to give your basement complete protection from any water damage.
When to Use a Lateral Drain
Your sump pump or perimeter drainage system will take care of most water that is collected underneath the floor and will properly drain it outside. Lateral drains are typically only needed when there is heavy flooding coming through your floor cracks.
Water can also rise directly through the porous concrete of your floor slab. Carpet or wood installed on the concrete will trap this moisture underneath, resulting in mold and rot. Be sure to seal your basement floor before installing carpet or organic materials.
