Each home and basement is different. Your foundation may be of fieldstone, concrete block or cement walls. Experts agree that the most common water entry points are the floor wall joint, wall cracks, floor cracks, and windows.... creating wet basement problems. Because of the eventual build up of enormous water pressure against the foundation, even the smallest leak can lead to a flooded basement, potentially costing thousands of dollars in repairs and requiring mold/mildew removal. Reacting quickly to evidence of moisture can save you thousands of dollars.
The dedicated research and development team at Basement Technologies have created innovative basement waterproofing solutions such as Water Grabber® Bull Dog™ and the Water Trek Aqua Route® to keep your basement dry as efficiently as possible. No matter what the basement problem, from basement leaks, to sump pump installation, and flooding repair, Wet Basement Solutions has a solution.

 Floor/wall joint: the water entry into the basement originates at the joint where the floor meets the wall. This is an inherant weak spot of any foundation.
 Floor crack: A cracked foundation creates a similar weak spot as in example 1. Sealants and paints will not work as a permenant solution to this problem.
 Wall crack: Depending on the foundation wall material, various solutions are available to seal these types of opennings.
 Entrances: These are another natural weak spot as framing materail can separate from the foundation wall.
 Window Wells: Similar to entrances, prolonged water exposure can cause the window framing to come away from the foundation.
 Over the Sill Plate: This is where water is able to travel over the foundation and comes into the home through the joint between the foundation and upper floor
