Why foundation cracks don't fix themselves
Florida soil shifts
Sandy soil is vulnerable to shifting and foundation settling. This is compounded by a high water table and rainy season, leading to cracks and the erosion of the original mortar between the concrete wall and slab. The end result is water easily penetrating through your foundation.
Surface sealants fail
Tar and petroleum-based products, degrade over time and trap moisture inside your foundation, making the underlying problem even worse. They are simply a temporary patch, not a real solution.
Mold starts fast
Once moisture penetrates your foundation and gets trapped within your walls, mold can develop within 24 to 48 hours. Florida's high humidity levels further help nurture the rapid growth of mold.
What causes water to come through a Florida foundation
Mortar erosion
Groundwater dissolves the mortar between your cement block wall and slab over time. This is the most common water entry point in Florida homes.
Soil settling
Sandy Florida soil is particularly vulnerable to foundation settling. That movement forms cracks and the degradation of your foundation, allowing water intrusion.
Hydrostatic pressure
After heavy rain, saturated soil pushes water against your foundation wall under pressure. Any gap, no matter how small, becomes an entry point.
Original waterproofing degraded
Many Florida homes were built with minimal waterproofing. After years of storm cycles and UV exposure, whatever coating existed has long since failed.
What we actually do
We thoroughly inspect your foundation, exterior walls and around windows. We also utilize moisture meters and thermal imaging on any interior wall areas in question to identify everywhere that water intrusion may have occurred into your home.
Extensive water testing
We perform extensive water testing using a strong hose to emulate a strong storm. While your interior walls are still open to ensure no more water intrusion is occurring after we have completed our Waterproofing processes. This way we know it is safe for drywall and any other building materials that were removed to be replaced.
Structural sealing
After excavation, we thoroughly grind and prep your foundation surface. All cracks are sealed and multiple layers of a cementitious hydraulic waterproofing product used to structurally repair and seal your foundation. This is further sealed with 2 coats of an industrial masonry sealant. We also waterproof the interior side of the joint in accessible areas where the walls were opened on the interior.
Mold check in the same visit
When trapped within your walls, mold has quite possibly already developed. If suspected, our licensed mold remediation team will establish a containment area prior to opening the walls. If mold is confirmed, we will thoroughly treat for it at that time.
Lifetime warranty
Every foundation waterproofing job on a home of concrete construction in which we waterproof both the exterior and interior sides of the accessible joint comes with a lifetime warranty against further water intrusion through the treated areas. This warranty is also transferable if you happen to sell your home.
