How to Stop a Leaky Stone Foundation - Basement Waterproofing

Stone foundations (also known as fieldstone or rubble foundations) are notorious for water leaks, and many are over a hundred years old. We have found stone foundations outlasting modern foundations by a long shot, and there is a way to make them last a lot longer. American Dry Basement Systems' uses a Step-Out installation method to maintain the foundation's strength. It stops groundwater from making its way onto the floor and prevents mortar joints from eroding quickly between each stone in the wall.
