Basement wall leaks, can happen in a couple different areas of your house for a few different reasons, and many repair options prove to be ineffective.

These methods tend to lead to frustration, wating time and money and can lead to further damage and additional repair cost.
When concrete cures improperly the water in the concrete can evaporate to quickly, to slowly or freeze which will cause concrete walls to crack. Cracks will typically be noticed near the corners of window, or were the foundation wall is stepped down to a different height. Cracks can also be seen in the middle of long walls that are the same height throughout. Once these cracks appear in the walls, leaking may follow with the next rain or the foundation wall crack may leak sometime in the future. More often than not the crack will leaking and can contribute to a flooded basement. This is especially true if there is not effective draining in the foundation of your house.
