As brick and stone foundations settle over decades, small cracks develop naturally. These cracks allow water entry during heavy precipitation. JeffVanderLou's clay soil pushes water against foundations with extra pressure. Periodic repointing and sealing help reduce water seepage through old foundation cracks.
Clay does not absorb water like sandy soil. In JeffVanderLou's north-city neighborhoods, clay soil forces water to run toward foundations instead of percolating away. Combined with settling foundations and poor drainage infrastructure, clay soil puts extra water pressure on JeffVanderLou basements.
