Hydrostatic Pressure: The Silent Destroyer of Basements

C. JonesYard Drainage

As a homeowner, you might notice cracks in your basement walls or mysterious water stains—but the real issue could be hidden: hydrostatic pressure.

This is the pressure that builds up when water saturates the soil around your foundation. Over time, it can push water through tiny cracks or porous concrete walls, leading to serious moisture problems or even structural damage.

The solution? Address both the water pressure and the pathways it uses to enter your home. At Sump Daddy, we install both interior and exterior drainage systems to relieve that pressure and protect your home from damage before it starts.
