Basement Moisture - Excessive Efflorescence
Hello, In a simple attempt to refresh my already finished basement, I stumbled upon efflorescence which seems to be excessive and extends all along two sides of my basement walls. These sides are the front of the home, entirely under grade, and then the side which slopes down to above grade. While the basement was finished by the previous owner, I also found it was improperly framed and lacked proper insulation. So, once this moisture issue is solved, ill be fixing that. Regardless, I've had 5 companies come out of which 4 have been waterproofing companies and 1 exterior focused company. All the waterproofing companies have been stumped by the sheer amount of efflorescence and the build up. Each of the waterproofing companies solutions is to do the traditional drain in the floor perimeter and pump any water out. I've always been more inclined to try to tackle moisture issues from the exterior and have hired the exterior focused company to improve drainage the previous owner installed, at least as a starting point. That and, if I'm wrong I'm all ears, the efflorescence is obviously present but I've never had any standing water, drips, puddles, etc. Nothing. I actually wouldn't have really know about this unless I cut into my wall by chance. So, the reason for the post is to see if anyone has any experience with this much efflorescence and what worked or any suggestions that may help further fix my issue? I need to wait to see how much, if anything, the exterior work will improve things but the fact four waterproofing companies are stumped yet jumped to pitching their interior solutions makes me uneasy. Thanks in advance! https://preview.redd.it/hqiemls9fjpe1.jpg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b815274197e9cac09e8b22bf61952fe7b7c0c705 https://preview.redd.it/mboccns9fjpe1.jpg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=184a3678f064f49f2c63380dd29361abfaa43b0c https://preview.redd.it/03npeos9fjpe1.jpg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7ef35d33cef81efd858c03517da5cd5ad1b459c submitted by /u/Jouaram_The_Fat_Mule [link] [comments]
