Why Regina basements take on water
Regina sits on heavy clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and frost here goes 8 to 10 feet deep. That pushes on foundation walls every spring and every freeze-thaw cycle. Older homes often still have clay weeping tile, which clogs with silt and roots. More on why it happens.
Fixes, from simplest to biggest
- Grading and downspouts: water running toward the house is the cheapest problem to solve.
- Crack repair: injection to seal individual leaking cracks.
- Sump pit and pump: gets weeping tile water out of the house, the way the City requires.
- Interior waterproofing: new drain tile inside the footing, a membrane and a sump.
- Exterior waterproofing: dig to the footing, membrane the wall, replace the weeping tile.
