REPAIRING BASEMENT LEAKS

Once a leak is discovered, it must be dealt with immediately to prevent further water damage to your basement. The dry wall should be removed to get to the problem, making sure that enough of the wall is open to fill the entire crack. Once the crack is visible, clean it out as good as possible, then fill it with a waterproof cement sealant, be sure not to miss any of the crack. It's not a bad thing to overdo it. Let the sealant set up for as long as instructed on the package it came from.
