The white substance on your walls is called efflorescence. This is the breakdown of the bonding agent used to hold your foundation together. The water that is penetrating the foundation is breaking the bonding agent down.

Basements can leak for various reasons. The weeping tile that surrounds most homes could be plugged, causing water to build up around the house. The foundation may need to be waterproofed stopping any water from penetrating the concrete or block wall. Or you could have cracks in the foundation wall letting water into the basement.

Water seeping through a foundation can cause cracking, bulging, foundation deterioration and health issues. Severe mold can buildup causing problems for those with allergies and respiratory problems.

Yes. Under certain circumstances you could do an interior repair. This is typically by either a crack injection or an interior perimeter tile system. Our belief is that an exterior repair is always best, where possible. An exterior repair stops the water from ever touching the bare foundation wall. Where an interior repair allows the water to penetrate the wall then redirects it to an interior drainage system.
