    What Others Are Saying

    Had a great experience working with Zicklin Contracting to waterproof our roof deck and fix some leaks on our apartment’s exterior walls and brick pointing on my entire building. Our building, MGMT, also uses Zicklin for a variety of projects. They’re reliable, give fair prices and do great work.

    We had a great experience with Zicklin. We required brickpointing, repair and waterproofing of a portion of our home, and concrete repair around our house. They were able to start in a timely matter. They constantly checked in with us regarding the quality of their work. They made sure that everything requested was completed. The workmen were respectful of the property.

    Verified Customer
    I am so happy we went with Zicklin Construction to complete our renovations. They not only helped us to make our home more beautiful and accessible by way of repairing water-damaged walls, updating one of our bathrooms, and building a rampa, but they also did so while providing unmatched customer service and consistent consideration for my sick grandmother and her space.

    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.

    Zicklin Contracting can find a solution for your home’s hydrostatic pressure basement. Call our experts at +1-718-550-2779 for a prompt response.

    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.


    Our Comprehensive Approach to Hydrostatic Pressure Basement Fix

    Every basement is different, and at Zicklin Contracting, we aim to solve hydrostatic pressure from every direction through:

    • Hydrostatic Pressure Relief Systems

      With our advanced hydrostatic pressure relief system, we can eliminate hydrostatic pressure around your foundation. By installing a perimeter drain, sump pump, and other equipment, we can reduce the level of water around your house and prevent hydrostatic pressure from pushing against your foundation walls and floor.
    • Basement Waterproofing

      Whether you have a new basement waterproofing that needs to be protected or a finished basement waterproofing that you want to keep that way, we will waterproof your basement to keep it dry no matter what Mother Nature has in store. We will use the most advanced techniques and materials to seal your basement to resist hydrostatic pressure.
    • Forever Dry Waterproofing

      Our sustained dry waterproofing approach combines multiple methods, including exterior drainage, interior waterproofing, and foundation repairs, to provide overall protection from hydrostatic pressure.
    • Hydrostatic Pressure Wall Reinforcement

      We reinforce your basement walls to withstand the high hydrostatic pressure water produces. Our team can also reinforce your existing structure to prevent floor bowing, cracking, and collapse.
    • Relieving Hydrostatic Pressure Under Slab

      The floor of your basement is also subject to hydrostatic pressure. We use special techniques to relieve pressure buildup under your basement slab so that uplift and cracking don’t occur.

    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.

    FAQs About Hydrostatic Pressure in Basement

    What are the common methods used for reducing basement hydrostatic pressure?
    Various methods and approaches exist for reducing hydrostatic pressure. These include installing appropriate drains, waterproofing the basement walls and floor, grading the soil surrounding your foundation, and installing sump pump systems. Zicklin Contracting will evaluate your situation and recommend the most appropriate combination of these approaches to solve your waterproofing needs.
    Can hydrostatic pressure push water into basement?
    Yes, hydrostatic pressure can force water through even the smallest cracks or pores in your basement walls or floor. As water collects around your foundation, the pressure it exerts can overcome the resistance of concrete and other materials to get inside.
    What problems can arise if too much hydrostatic pressure is used?
    Excessive hydrostatic pressure can lead to various serious problems, from cracks and bowing of basement walls to floor heaving or uplift and structural damage to your house’s foundation. It will also lead to persistent moistures which are liable to bring about mold growth and further damage stored items or finished living spaces in the basement while impairing the indoor air quality.
    What 2 factors affect hydrostatic pressure?
    Two factors that influence hydrostatic pressure are the level of the water table and the saturation level of the soil. A high water table increases the amount of groundwater that is pushing on your basement, while saturated soil can increase the weight and pressure against your basement walls and floor.
