In an old block wall the water has many routes. Finding the one it uses saves repeating the repair.
Older block basements in this part of Houston County leak in more places than a modern wall does. Mortar joints, the cold joint at the floor, the block cores themselves, and any penetration that was cut through over the decades.
Add a shallow water table and there is water available against the wall for a large part of the year. Given many openings and a persistent supply, a leak in an old block basement is rarely a single point.
So we map before repairing. Where the water is entering, how many routes it is using, and whether the level under the slab is the real driver. On these houses the answer is often relief drainage below the footing plus treating the joint run, since sealing one spot on an old block wall is the definition of a temporary fix.
Here is what our basement leak repair work includes on an Elko home, in town or out toward the Houston County line.
