Our driveway is leaning toward the house, and water has appeared on our basement wall and is leaking into our basement. Can our cement be raised to direct water away from the house?
In most cases we are able to lift the driveway or patio blocks to allow the blocks to pitch away from the structure. This method combined with caulking or sealing of cracks and joints often improves problems associated with water seepage. Raising concrete blocks will not completely solve water problems if footing drains have failed, or other drainage problems exist.
