What is Hydrostatic Pressure?
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that the groundwater pushes against the walls and floor of your basement. When water collects in the soil around your foundation, it puts pressure on your basement walls and floor, pushing that water into the basement. This is most common when there is a high water table or heavy rainfall. Hydrostatic pressure can cause many problems, including:
- Cracks in walls and floors
- Water seepage
- Structural damage
- Mold and mildew growth
- Compromised air quality
Other signs of foundation problems include:
- Sticking Windows and Doors
- Bowed or Cracked Walls
- Separating Walls and Floors
- Leaning Chimney
If not addressed, hydrostatic pressure can transform your basement from a precious living space into a moisture-riddled nightmare.

How Long Does Hydrostatic Pressure Last in Basement?
Hydrostatic pressure issues can last as long as weather conditions or seasonal changes are present and as long as the soil surrounding your foundation holds water. This means that, without intervention, your hydrostatic pressure issues can last weeks, months, or even years. This is why a permanent solution, such as a hydrostatic pressure relief system, is so important to stop further damage and keep your basement dry going forward.

Hydrostatic Pressure Coverage and Insurance
So, what is ‘hydrostatic pressure coverage’? Your standard homeowner’s insurance policy does not include a provision for damage caused by hydrostatic pressure. However, some insurance companies offer it as an option or rider. Review your policy with your insurance provider to ensure you get adequate protection.
