Basement waterproofing in Hyde Park
What Hyde Park homes mean for basement waterproofing
Hyde Park's 1910-1940 stock sits on stone or early-concrete basement walls built without any exterior membrane, so hydrostatic pressure from wet-dry clay cycling finds its way in at the mortar joints and the cove where the floor meets the wall. Many of these basements have since been finished into living space, which means a leak shows up as damage to real square footage and raises the stakes on routing interior drainage around finished walls rather than through them. Sealed-over coal-chute openings from the original construction are a common recurring entry point when that seal was never done properly.
