A wall at the bottom of a slope takes the water from everything above it, and cracks let it in.
A house in one of the low folds around Sunny Side collects water from the whole slope above it. A buried wall on the uphill side takes that load, and once it has cracked, every wet season delivers water straight through the opening.
Piedmont clay holds the water in place once it arrives, so the pressure on the wall is sustained for weeks. That is why cracking here often follows the shape of the land more closely than the age of the house.
The order that works is cut the water off, then seal. An interception drain across the uphill side removes most of the volume and discharges by gravity on this terrain. Perimeter drainage handles the remainder, and stable cracks get injected through the wall depth afterward.
Here is what our basement crack repair work includes on a Sunny Side home, in town or out toward the Spalding County line.
