Water coming in from a high horizontal crack is rare — and often serious.
In this Ask Dan McCoy clip, Dan explains what causes water to leak down the wall instead of at the floor/wall joint, and why it usually points to a drainage issue or a major exterior crack.
“If water comes through a horizontal crack up high, it often means the water can’t reach the drain tile. Poor grading, missing downspout extensions, or a previous repair blocking the block interior can force water inside.” — Dan McCoy
You’ll learn:
• Why water sometimes leaks mid-wall or high on the wall
• How horizontal cracks let outside water push directly through
• Why a previous interior repair can block the internal drainage path
• How bad grading or a missing downspout extension can create a “perfect storm”
• Why serious rainstorms expose these problems first
• When this becomes a structural concern that needs immediate help
If you see water leaking high on the wall — not just at the floor — that’s a sign to call a professional right away.
