Tie Rod Leaks

PROFESSIONAL BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
Permanent Interior and Exterior solution
CALL US: 1-866-891-1917

If water traces its path into your basement and causes damage, the room may become useless. Tie rod leaks are among the simplest problems to solve, but they are the most common entry point of basements that leak. Tie rod holes are small holes present in your foundation that allows water to get in. They are also called pinholes or rod pockets.

With the range of solutions offered at Aquatech Waterproofing, we are able to help you solve any concerns of dampness in your basement. Tie rods are small steel rods used to hold forms together during construction, ready to pour concrete.  After pouring the concrete, the rods are removed and this leaves weak points of entry that ultimately channel water into your home.

  • What to look out for?

    Tie rods are common in the construction of many homes. However, some modern houses use snap ties, which do not present the same concern. If your foundations have small holes due to the tie rods, it is wise to fix them, especially if water damage becomes apparent.

    A sign of leaking tie rod holes is a small stain the size of a coin appearing on your walls, or a stain of leaking water down to the floor. If the leak is too much, flooding may occur.

    There are normally 5 to 8 tie rods on a wall, and in this case, the exterior walls are your major concern. You will spot water damage occurring in well-ordered lines, where the tie rods previously were.

  • Why does this happen?

    Tie rods are usually inserted into the concrete so as to hold the outer and inner forms together, and provide the structure where concrete can be poured. This is usually done during the initial stages of construction of many homes. They are normally placed with 18 inches of spacing, sometimes in two rows.

    After construction, these tie rods are removed, leaving a hole behind. Contractors may fix the tie rod holes by covering them up with hydraulic cement, but with time this wears off revealing a weak point of entry for water.

    Water will always trace the path with the least resistance, and therefore water finds its way through tie rod holes since they are essentially hollow. This is the reason for the popularity of the problem.

  • What solutions are available?

    At Aquatech Waterproofing, we provide solutions for tie rod leaks. We either deal with one or the whole wall of tie rode holes. The job is relatively cost effective and straightforward, and involves the application of high-grade sealant injection to bond and fill the hole.

    If your home faces wider issues, we still evaluate and examine how to ensure permanent exterior or interior waterproofing solutions, so that water never gets into your basement again.

HomeStars Client Reviews Average Rating 10

We just had Aqua Tech waterproofing our basement. The whole team is very professional and friendly. They take time to complete the job right. They also take time to explain the process to help you select the best option for your current problem. The work place is completely clean after they are done. We are so pleased with their work that we will get them to do further work for us.

Nick and his team were great, from start to finish the guys were a pleasure to deal with, they kept the job site clean at all times, and also were very careful and respected my property since the job involved digging a trench on the side of my basement to install weeping tiles. I’m very satisfied with the work and would definitely recommend Aqua Tech Waterproofing in the future.

I hired Aqua Tech to do a 30 feet of exterior waterproofing in my house, Andrew and his crew were simply the best, it was a pleasure dealing with this company, they worked within my budget and always cleaned up. I would definitely recommend this company to all my family and friends. Thank you guys once more and see you back in the spring to do the rest of my house.
