Upon inspection it was discovered that his basement walls were holding a significant amount of moisture. This was shown by the efflorescence process that had been taking place for years. The mineral deposits seen in these photos happen when your exterior damp-proofing begins to fail. Since concrete is a porous structure it will wick moisture from the soil into your basement. A side effect of this process is the lime and calcium deposits that get forced out of your foundation and onto the surface of the wall.

The solution to this problem was to restore the proper drainage of water from around the foundation as well as restoring the damp-proofing of the wall. That was achieved by installing a full perimeter interior drainage system, a permanent heavy duty vapor barrier on the wall, and a redundant sump pump system with battery backup.
With all of this work done, we’re able to ensure that the basement is protected and the walls won’t experience further issues.
