Dark stains indicate water seeping through walls due to hydrostatic pressure. Water seepage due to hydrostatic pressure, the force exerted by water in the soil against a building’s walls, often triggered by heavy rainfall or flooding. When the ground becomes saturated, this pressure can cause water to infiltrate even the smallest cracks in the structure. Here’s a brief overview:
Causes of Hydrostatic Pressure:
Groundwater Accumulation:
Excess rainwater or groundwater collecting around the building’s foundation.
Ineffective Drainage Systems:
Poor drainage solutions that prevent water from flowing away from the structure.
Signs of Hydrostatic Pressure:
Dampness:
Visible moisture in basements and lower levels of the building.
Efflorescence:
White, powdery deposits on walls indicating that salts are leaching from the masonry due to prolonged moisture exposure.
Efflorescence signifies moisture issues and should be addressed promptly! These unsightly patches are more than just cosmetic concerns; they indicate a need for timely maintenance to prevent further structural damage to the building.
Wall Cracks:
Openings that allow water to seep through.
Moisture buildup
