POURED CONCRETE WALLS

POURED CONCRETE WALLS: 
This type construction is found almost entirely in commercial construction or in basement walls. Very little, if any, maintenance considerations are necessary with this type construction. If efflorescence, a "whitish" material, is seen on the wall, we could expect a water problem on the opposite side, especially if the wall has earth against it. The waterproofing agent used may be breaking down or the wall may be cracked. This inspection cannot ascertain whether water problems exist in this type construction if the problems are not readily visible. You are advised to question the homeowner about water intrusion problems, if any. Contact the inspector for further information regarding this inspection limitation if necessary. Check with a Concrete Contractor or a Water Proofing Contractor for further information regarding waterproofing concrete walls should moisture problems surface.
