Moisture is commonly known to cause problems in
roofing and foundations, but it can also present major
problems in masonry walls. Moisture intrusion occurs in
walls as much as other places, and stopping the liquid
water and managing it are important above-grade just
as in a below-grade application.
Foundation footings that are sinking in your crawlspace
can be the cause of sloping floors and/or doors that
close too tight at the top or bottom. If you find that you
are getting water in your basement this is one of the
most conclusive home drainage signs, and many times it
goes undetected if the water is in the crawlspace where
you are unable to see it occure.
Groundwater problems can cause your foundation stem
wall or basement walls to deteriorate. When this
happens, usually over a long period of time, we can
repair the damage in most cases. Starting from the
outside, what S. Mays Construction will do is to install
hand excavated french drains approximately 2 feet from
the foundation wall, with a compacted splash block if
possible. This cuts off the flow of the groundwater to the
wall in heavy rains. Prior to the installation of the hand
excavated french drains, we will chisel out the cracks
and voids in the foundation stem wall filling them on the
outside and then the inside. We are your go-to source
for all your masonry needs.
