What is Hydrostatic Pressure? What is Parging?
“Hydrostatic Pressure” refers to a water pressure and is a major cause of basement water problems. Water weighs slightly more than 60lbs. per cubic foot. If the soil around your basement is saturated with water, there could be tens of thousands of pounds of hydrostatic pressure against your foundation. With significant pressure, it's likely that water will find its way through even the smallest crack or gap in your basement.
Parging uses a masonry-based mortar to cover interior and exterior masonry block and stone walls. When applying a fresh coat of parging it helps to protect masonry from the elements, like shielding the foundation from rain and snow.
Keep Rainwater and Snow away from your property, and having the surrounding ground, sloped away from the foundation. Make sure Gutters, and downspouts extend at least 10 feet away from property Foundation wall. Check your Sump Pump, to make sure it is operating properly.
