Hydrostatic Pressure Water Removal FAQs
Will drying stop water from coming back?
No. Drying fixes the damage that is already there. Keeping water out takes drainage, grading or waterproofing work by a contractor.
What causes foundation crack water infiltration?
Usually water pressure from soaked soil, or settlement cracks that give groundwater a path into the building.
How is hydrostatic pressure measured during flooding?
It is not measured directly. The depth of water and how fast it comes in show how much pressure the soil is putting on the foundation.
What steps are in flooded foundation cleanup?
Extraction, removal of mud and debris, cleaning of surfaces and full drying of the basement structure.
What is structural drying after intrusion?
It is drying the concrete, wood and other building materials after groundwater or flood water gets inside.
