TYPES OF CONCRETE WALLS
FOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING​

While all three types are useful for commercial and residential applications, they each have unique characteristics and advantages that work well for different purposes.

01

CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS

Concrete block walls - Like poured concrete walls, these will also leak along the floor/wall joint. The mortar joints between individual concrete blocks also have the possibility of leading to a basement leak. If there's pressure against a concrete block foundation, it can strain the mortar joints. This can cause cracks that will allow water seepage.
02

POURED CONCRETE WALLS

Poured concrete walls usually leak along the joint between the floor and wall. High hydrostatic pressure beyond the foundation can cause seepage through concrete walls. It can also force water into the basement along the crack between the floor and wall.
03

CLAY TILED WALLS

Clay tile walls are sometimes found on historic houses, and the most common location for a leak is the floor/wall joint. The mortar joints between clay tiles are also a common place for seepage.
