Why Do I Have Water in My Basement Cove?
Hydrostatic pressure is one of the most common causes of basement cove water. It pushes water into your basement through wall cracks, the cove, or loose mortar.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Hydrostatic pressure is the amount of pressure that water exerts when it’s at rest. When water’s draining next to your foundation and has nowhere to go, that water will begin to push against your foundation and eventually find a way into your basement foundation.
Clogged Footing Drains
Clogged footing drains are the main culprit that causes hydrostatic pressure. When your home was built, a drain was installed next to your basement foundation footing. The footing clogs easily if it’s not properly installed, which can lead to a variety of water problems. Cleaning your footing drain is more involved than you think: it involves excavating the ground next to your foundation, potentially damaging your basement foundation, and creating a giant mess. It’s easier, cheaper and safer to invest in basement waterproofing.

How Can I Stop Basement Water?
Don’t waste your time and money plugging up the cove with an epoxy or sealer. The hydrostatic pressure will win, forcing water back into your basement through the cove or some other weak point in your basement foundation.
The result: a wet basement and more damage to your foundation.
