FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Waterproofing FAQs

What causes water to enter a basement?

Basement water intrusion can be caused by foundation cracks, poor exterior drainage, groundwater pressure, damaged foundation waterproofing, grading issues, or drainage system problems.

Is exterior waterproofing better than waterproofing from inside?

Exterior waterproofing addresses water before it enters the structure and can be one of the most effective ways to protect a foundation. The appropriate solution depends on the source and severity of the water problem.

Do you excavate around the foundation?

Yes. When necessary, excavation allows access to the exterior foundation so waterproofing, foundation repairs, and drainage improvements can be completed properly.

Can foundation cracks cause basement leaks?

Yes. Cracks and openings in foundation walls can provide a pathway for groundwater and moisture to enter a basement or below-grade structure.

Can poor drainage cause foundation water problems?

Yes. Improper grading, damaged drainage systems, saturated soil, and water collecting near a foundation can significantly increase water pressure against foundation walls.

Do you provide commercial waterproofing?

Yes. E&K Contractors provides waterproofing and drainage solutions for residential, commercial, municipal, and government properties.
