In every home, there is hydrostatic pressure pushing up from under the house. A high water table and poor drainage can cause water to push up from cracks in the floor, or where the foundation and floor meet. This is called a cold joint. Water can be forced up through a cold joint and into the basement. Dry Basement Solutions has two methods of eliminating these issues. The “External Excavation” and the “Internal French Drain”. Both are 100% effective.
