What Causes Hydrostatic Pressure Water Damage
High Water Table Levels
A high water table keeps steady pressure on the foundation and pushes water through cracks and joints.
Foundation Settlement and Cracks
As a foundation settles, cracks form and give groundwater a direct path inside.
Heavy or Prolonged Rainfall
Long periods of rain soak the soil, and the water presses against the foundation until it finds a way in.
Improper Landscaping and Irrigation
Landscaping that slopes toward the house, or heavy watering near it, adds water to the soil against the foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure Water Removal FAQs
How long does drying take after groundwater comes in?
Most jobs take several days of drying. Waterproofing repairs, if needed, are a separate job for a waterproofing contractor.
What does groundwater intrusion mitigation involve?
Removing the water, drying the structure and then, often, drainage or waterproofing work outside by a contractor.
Will drying stop water from coming back?
No. Drying fixes the damage that is already there. Keeping water out takes drainage, grading or waterproofing work by a contractor.
When is wet subfloor removal necessary?
When wood subflooring is so soaked that it cannot be dried, it is removed to prevent rot and a weak floor.
What is included in structural water damage restoration?
Water extraction, drying, cleaning and replacing materials that groundwater or flood water damaged beyond drying.
