[b]What is Efflorescence?[/b]

Caused by water vapor migrating through slabs of concrete, efflorescence is the white powder-like substance seen on the surfaces of concrete.

The moisture in Utah has a higher salt content than most places, making efflorescence a common sight in basements and cold storage areas. Efflorescence also appears in the adjoining spaces between the foundation wall, its cracks, and the concrete floors. The company does not recommend storing items in these places as the high levels of moisture damages them.

[b]Foundation Leak Repair and Waterproofing[/b]

Utah homes experience basement leaks due to high moisture levels. Moist earth endangers any structure and can eventually lead to damage and costly renovations over time. Houses and buildings around the Jordan River, Utah Lake, the Great Salt Lake, Lake Bonneville, and Lehi are at risk of sinking because of unstable foundations.

The BASEco team, with their knowledge on wet soil and property inspection, identifies the specific causes of these foundation leaks. There are several ways to locate a leak in one’s home:

• Performing a water test using a garden hose
• Checking the tack strip for rusts or discoloration
• Finding efflorescence around the cracks in the foundation
• Spotting perimeter leaks as probable entryways in particular walls or foundation floors

The company offers free site inspections to Utah homeowners to determine the recommended solution for their basements. One solution is using crystallizing sealants and expandable coating in repairing foundation or basement cracks. Basement waterproofing, on the other hand, utilizes the company’s AquaShield system to solve water seepage.
