What is the Floor-to-Wall Seam?
The floor-to-wall seam is the junction where the foundation wall meets the floor slab, serving as a crucial structural connection. Over time, this seam can weaken due to factors like settling, hydrostatic pressure, and regular wear and tear. Cracks or gaps in this area create pathways for water, moisture, and pests, which can lead to mold growth, compromised structural integrity, and expensive repairs.
Why is the Floor-to-Wall Seam Vulnerable?
-
Hydrostatic Pressure: Water in the soil pushes against the foundation, seeking any weak point to enter.
-
Settling and Shifting: Over time, soil movement can cause the joint to crack.
-
Wear and Tear: Normal aging of concrete and exposure to temperature fluctuations can weaken the seam.
