FOUNDATION SEEPAGE
Foundation Seepage in Little Rock, Arkansas
If water is leaking or seeping into your home, you have a major issue at hand. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for Arkansas homes to experience foundation seepage at some point or another. Foundation seepage can occur in old and new homes alike, and can be caused by a variety of different issues and natural occurrences. When heavy rainfalls come, the soil around your home will expand and increase in hydrostatic pressure. The longer the water remains, the more pressure it will create around your foundation walls. The pressure can become enough to seep through existing cracks in your foundation, or even make it's way through the concrete itself. Pooling water on your property can cause your foundation to weaken, crack, chip, crumble, pull apart, and even give way.
Here are some indicators which confirm that you are
experiencing foundation seepage. If any of these
problems are prevalent in your home, be sure to
contact Airlift Concrete Experts right away. It is
important to have a professional inspect and repair
your home as soon as possible if you have noticed
any of the following issues:
- Floor Cracks & Wall Cracks
- Damp, Humid, or Wet Basement
- Crumbling Foundation
- Gaps and Spaces in your Foundation Walls
- Pooling Water on your Property
- Mold & Mildew Growth
- Foundation Cracks & Voids
To take care of these issues, it is important to look
into foundation repair solutions as well as
waterproofing solutions. Repairing your foundation is
definitely necessary when it has obvious cracks and
crevices, but if no waterproofing system is implemented,
your repaired foundation will not be protected for the
next time that water hits.

home, we can still install our products for you to
prevent any damage from happening. Here at Airlift
Concrete Experts, we have the perfect solution for any
situation that may be occurring in your Arkansas
household. Let us protect your investment by keeping

How To Fix Foundation Seepage Problems
For
foundation repair,
Airlift Concrete Experts offers helical piers and
steel piers
to lift and stabilize your sinking foundation. Many
times, water can be getting into your home because
your foundation has settled and excess moisture has
created cracks. Once your foundation is secured by
the strength of steel piers, it will be strong
enough to resist future foundation
settlement.
In order to keep water away from your foundation, it is important to have proper surface drainage around your home. Make sure that your gutters are cleaned out so that dirt and debris are not collecting inside of them and causing them to overflow. When gutters overflow, water can pour directly onto your foundation walls and seep into your basement. Also, make sure your downspouts are extended at least 5 feet away from your home so that they are directing water away from your foundation as well. If you have any questions about waterproofing, feel free to give Airlift Concrete Experts a call anytime. We can also install for you a French drain system to prevent excess water from pooling up in your yard.
