When the skies open up during Calgary’s rainy season, your home might be at risk—and not just from the rain itself. Wall cracks and water leaks form a dangerous duo that can silently damage your home’s structure, comfort, and value. Let’s dive into why fixing foundation cracks and sealing up leaks is a rainy season must-do! 🛠️💧
🚨 The Hidden Danger of Wall Cracks
Cracks in your walls aren’t just an eyesore—they’re a gateway for rainwater.
Why It Happens:
-
Aging foundations
-
Shifting soil due to moisture
-
Poor construction or settling
-
Water pressure buildup during rain
What It Leads To:
-
Mold & mildew growth 🦠
-
Weakened structural integrity 🏚️
-
Paint bubbling and plaster damage
-
Higher energy bills due to insulation damage
💦 Water Leaks: Not Just a Plumbing Issue
Rainwater doesn’t need your permission to enter. Even the smallest crack or gap in the foundation can act as a funnel.
Signs of Rainwater Intrusion:
-
Damp spots on walls or ceilings
-
Musty smell in the basement
-
Peeling paint or soft drywall
-
Puddles or standing water near the foundation
Ignoring these signs? You could be setting yourself up for major repair costs later on.
