Hydrostatic pressure is a common yet often overlooked cause of basement water problems. It occurs when water in the soil around your foundation builds up pressure, pushing moisture through any cracks or weaknesses in your basement walls. At All-Dry Solutions, with over 40 years of experience, we’ve seen firsthand how this invisible threat can wreak havoc on a home if not properly managed.

What Is Hydrostatic Pressure?

Hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted by water in the soil surrounding your foundation. As the water table rises, or during periods of heavy rain, this pressure increases and can force water through even the smallest cracks in your basement walls or floors. Over time, this can lead to significant water damage, including mold growth, structural damage, and a compromised foundation.

How to Combat Hydrostatic Pressure

The key to combating hydrostatic pressure is proper drainage. At All-Dry Solutions, we offer a range of waterproofing solutions designed to relieve this pressure and protect your basement. French drains, sump pumps, and vapor barriers are just a few of the tools we use to keep your basement dry and your foundation safe.
