Home Foundation Repair
A long, cold winter and wet spring and summer has made many Pittsburgh homeowners’ basements a nightmare. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review recently published an article about the problems that people are having following three harsh seasons, and also talked to Advanced Basement Solutions about what homeowners can do to fix water and basement issues.

The water table in our area (this is the level where the soil is always filled with water) rose in the winter, and the downpours during a punishing spring/early summer made it rise even further. This water is now pressing against your home with nowhere to go but in. Plus, there is a lot of clay in the soil in the Pittsburgh area, which doesn’t allow rainwater to sink through the soil. Instead, it continues moving around the soil and clay until it hits a home or building foundation.

The water will stand there, against the wall, and as it freezes, it will form cracks in the wall’s foundation. Soon, water will enter a home’s basement, and the pressure of the water and the clay can also cause a home’s walls to bow.
