1) Concrete is a commonly used material for construction, if air pockets are not removed or the mixture is not dried properly, this results cracking,and allow the fluid and moisture to force itself through it.
2) Foundation (footing) on the foundation wall. If not laid deep enough can lead to movement,due to soil erosion.
3)Gutter/downspout use to hold rainwater, when gutters are blocked or downspouts broken rainwater is sucked by the foundation cause hydrostatic pressure.
4) Weeping tiles – It’s a process in which pipes are installed around the premises to prevent water getting into the basement. These pipes can get clogged which causes water pressure on basement and walls.
